I saw it and though it was sweet. I was a little saddened by by the fact it talks a lot about how much the natural reefs are being destroyed but it was fun trying to name all the thing you see. Go see it.

how long is it? And how much is a ticket? Is it one of those movies where the whole dome of the ceiling is the projection screens? Havent been to one of those since i was in elementary school. Looks interesting, I might check it out as well

Ok guys; think about it.

a 20' tang?

I'm a relative noob to saltwater; and I found myself mumbling through half the underwater stuff; I can't _imagine_ if almost everyone in there (No WAY spouses would come) was doing the same :)


But I did like it none the less.

You can also see a 2nd film for like $3 more which I wish I would've paid becuase I too thought it was too short. I think it was around 30-40 min.

Saw it 2x at the Balboa IMAX. It is also available on DVD. I bought it at the Birch Aquarium gift shop. Great footage on the various reefs.

for those that have HDTV, there has been a really cool reef special on INHD. Filmed in HD too, not a conversion...
