Stupid and Loud

This movie forgot to be interesting. Or perhaps it substituted silly long sequences of footage that were interesting ONLY because of the 3-D. I would advise the movie maker to make a good movie first, a 3-D movie second. And, with each meandering, uninteresting footage of seals or schools of fish came the awful loud music. In fact, I'd say the footage would be MORE interesting if the music were more subtle and sometimes non-existent.

I like documentaries. I like ocean documentaries. I grew up with Jacques Cousteau. It is hard for me to imagine him making such an awful movie. There were two redeeming values. One, it kept my seven year old entertained. Two, one or two of the facts mentioned were new to me.

If you are looking for an entertaining and informative movie on sharks or the ocean, look elsewhere, my friend.
