Island of the Sharks: IMAX

Watching Island of the Sharks was a pure delight. You feel as though you're underwater, right there with the goat fish, hammerhead sharks, flounder, stingray, sea turtle, hermit crab, marlin, mantis shrimp, starfish, reef sharks, etc until you're reminded of how dry and comfortable you are on your couch. The Making Of is pretty good too. Be warned - it's not really a shark movie at all - it's a wonderful underwater survey of Cocos Island.

Best line narrated in the context of how much hermit crabs like to move into new homes: "There's an old saying among hermit crabs - if the shell fits, wear it." Really?! Hermit crabs have been saying that for a long time?! That's terrific.

I agree it was beautiful and you felt like you were there minus the breathing weird, the wet feeling and the adrenaline rush of being in the food chain!

Concept artist Steve Jung's job is to create beautiful works of art that inspire the look of Hollywood films. He worked on Tron: Legacy, Transformers 2, Thor. Here's some of his work for The Avengers -- the link to the movie is so clear, but these are also works of art on their own.
BRAVA!
