This documentary is the perfect thing to watch with the whole family. I really enjoyed the variety of sea life that was shown here - including so many creatures I have never seen or heard of before - like the BLANKET OCTOPUS. Talk about a beautiful and amazing cephalopod!
Giant expanses of oceans are splayed out in front of the view and the urge to scrinch small in your seat is overwhelming. There are moments that will startle you (like watching a fish become another fish's dinner), moments that will give you the creeps (like seeing hundreds of crabs tip toe like ocean spiders across the sandy floor) and moments where you smile (like where you get to see the sea lions lay around like lumps and roll around looking absolutely exhausted while the crabs skitter past them)
Probably the most unfortunate but fact-of-life scenes was watching the baby sea turtles get chomped as they slowly dug themselves up from under the sand as hatchlings and start waddling the long distance across the beach. Only one in ONE THOUSAND sea turtles makes it to the water from the beach. Just enough to help carry on the existence of sea turtles. The actual chomping and crunching of baby sea turtles as appetizers for seagulls is distressing though - fair warning.
