Nuestros océanos

I have run into this series when I was scouring the net looking for a documentary series to watch, as most of movies and TV series are just rife and riddled with wanton violence, gore and sick sex. The cinematography in this series is just gorgeous, the amount of data conveyed to the viewers is great. The camerawork is amazingly close to the actions and breathtakingly display behavior of the sea creatures. However, it is lamentably lacking is a good narrator. The stunning filmography could have been supplemented and actually become perfect with a soothing velvety voice over. The legend, Sir. David Attenborough could have added that amazing quality to this series.

The filmography in "Our Oceans" is downright stunning!! . Absolutely breathtaking shots, though some of it looks like it was combined with artificial intelligence at times. It is sometimes hard to tell what is real and what is not, but overall absolutely amazing. I'm in awe that people and cameras are able to get that close enough. And speaking of cameras- they must have cost a fortune!! I've never seen anything with images that clear!

My biggest issue with this documentary is the narrator. Barack Obama is boring, and the inflections in his voice are all wrong. Was David Attenborough busy on another project? Obama really kinda ruined this film.

I do not agree with the criticism that Obama's narration is boring. I loved his narration. The knowledge of the production is amazing and the photography is astounding. In addition I truly enjoyed the music. I would highly recommend this series. My only criticism is the anthropomorphic references.

My daughter and I watched this together and looked up some oceanic details while watching. We only watched one or two at a time but still an enjoyable series.

I do not have a lot more to say except that I did learn a lot and appreciate our oceans and the amazing creatures who live there even more so than before.

The content of this show is exceptional, matching the standards set by the best nature documentaries. The visuals are stunning, the colors vivid, and a lot of rare scenes captured with exceptional sharpness.

There's some footage shot with the camera apparently attached to the marine wildlife itself, which is an interesting and uncommon technique for mainstream documentaries.

The biggest letdown is the voice narration. This is the first documentary narrated by Barack Obama that I've watched, and I was not impressed. As a public orator giving political speeches, he's obviously very effective and inspirational. But his delivery of this show's narration felt dispassionate. It fails to convey the wonder & magic of the content, and makes the overall experience quite flat.

I disagree with the people who criticize Barack Obama as narrator. We all need to know these facts about pollution. There is much that is positive but the alarming part must be included.

I thought he was engaged and interesting.

I found the photography absolutely astounding and I learned so much that I didn't know. It left me filled with wonder and awe. I was impressed that we have so much underwater, close-up footage. I learned about fish I never knew existed. And, the adaptive behaviors are fascinating.

It was well put together, narrated, and produced., I wouldn't change a thing. A great watch!
