my rating: Three out of four dimensions.

what possessed me: I can’t seem to resist this recent wave of 3D movies (pun oh so very intended), and the Twink can’t resist sea creatures.

what i learned: For over fifteen bucks, forty-five minutes seems a little on the short side, but the IMAX bigness and 3D that’s all up in your grill go a long way to make up for it. Sadly, G-Rated animal documentaries disappoint in the bloodletting department, and I really wanted to see one of those mongoloid-of-the-ocean sea lions get taken down by a great white. Also, it turns out that I’m the kind of unfortunate jackass who will paw at the air in front of me as if I can actually touch things on the screen just because of the 3D effect. Somebody buy me a helmet.

you may also enjoy: Planet Earth, Deep Sea, squishy things.

tangential thought: I wish I had the pigment-altering powers of the mystifying cuttlefish. It’s like they have astounding animated tattoos. But I’d probably just end up showing stupid YouTube videos on myself all day.
