Pros: Spellbinding cinematography, sunny vibe.
Cons: Doesn't answer the big questions of dolphin intelligence.

charismatic marine mammals. With sunswept ocean locations, it's pleasantly diverting both as a science lesson and as a tropical travelogue.

Pros: Big screen dolphins, some decent photography.
Cons: Very boring at times. Fails to utilize the large format.

Pros: Underwater sound and sight

Pros: Beautifully shot and filmed.
Cons: Not enough dolphin footage, at times a little too abrupt.
Summary: This film, for of all, was beautifully shot and filmed. The dolphins, the stars of the show, were beautiful. So why didn't they get more footage? I would like to have seen dolphins on the screen the entire film. Instead, there were a lot of people ... read more
