Under the Sea 3D ****

The fish pictured above like small bites of the stinging jellyfish they surround, but I'll bet you don't know who has the cast iron stomach to chow down on the whole thing.  That's just one of the amazing and beautiful things you'll learn from the IMAX documentary "Under the Sea 3D."  Relatively short (40 minutes) and relatively expensive ($14.25 adult, $11.00 senior and child in Denver), this amazing movie dazzles as it informs.  

Shot in the tropical waters off Papua and Australia, there is not one uninteresting shot, not one view or possibly creature that you've seen before, and certainly not in IMAX 3D.  The colorful schools of fish have exquisite detail and depth, and the narration, voiced by Jim Carrey, is intelligent and fascinating.  Music and sound effects are beautiful and effective. Everyone should like it, and the short form makes it appropriate for even very young viewers.

Rated G.  40 minutes.  Howard Hall - Director, Toni Myers - Producer, Micky Erbe - Composer, Maribeth Solomon - Composer.  Produced and distributed by IMAX and Warner Bros. Pcitures.

Narrator: Jim Carey.
