Coral Reef Adventure IMAX (2003)

Documentary. The luscious piscine hues and kinetically flowing sculptures of the coral reefs of Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the Fiji Islands are captivating and the soundtrack is lyrically lush too. The CSNY and Fijian musical vignettes are delicious and delightfully blended (viz. a French Polynesian version of Teach Your Children). I've seen this movie at the IMAX and via streaming video and it stays fresh and viewable. You get a concept of the community of scientists who are monitoring our ecosystem and working to find ways to save our flora and fauna as well as humanity itself. I don't understand the troglodytes who deny the fact that the Fiji waters are 2 degrees warmer and that logging causes silting which kills the reefs that rely on photosynthesis. Man is killing these reefs, refuses to admit responsibility, and blames the bearers of facts and solutions as the dunderheads? This movie will teach our children and lend an appreciation for nature to those who are willing to listen. 5 stars.
