WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Dolphins" is an IMAX documentary from over 15 years ago and like all of these it runs for roughly 40 minutes. The director here is the prolific Greg MacGillivray and this one here may be his biggest success as it managed to score an Academy Award nomination in the usually pretty obscure documentary short category. I would say this one here tells hardly anything new, but still manages a decent sum-up of major facts about the animals in the title. Sometimes it loses itself a bit when talking about the human protagonist here and I wish it could have been more critical about these orca amusement parks, but oh well, you cannot have everything. Still, there were some parts where it is pretty informative and interesting and these are the ones for which I say: This documentary is worth checking out. I personally find it a bit distracting when there are 2 narrators, but it is bearable here because it is a man and woman. I guess they really wanted Brosnan on board as he was James Bond still at this point. Music comes from Sting and works okay with what we see. All in all, a thumbs-up, even if I believe there was the potential for a better film here in terms of the subject and it never achieved greatness.

The_Light_Triton Dolphins are by far the greatest sea dwellers to swim in the seas that surround us. they are amazing beyond our comprehension and imagination. So why not get educated more about them...in Imax! Since this is a documentary about dolphins, there's not much to be said, but hey, i cannot leave this comment on the IMDb without mentioning how awesome the female scientist is. Kathleen Dudzinski, the Woman behind the education in this documentary, says she's dedicated her whole life to studying dolphins and educating people...it also seems that you see more of her than you see of the dolphins. The tagline of this documentary should be "Stare long enough and you might see a dolphin!" OK, OK, enough with bashing that.Bottom line, it's still a good, informative documentary you should check out. plus, it's in Imax!!!

Sunshine36616 I worked at an IMAX theater for 3 years. We had to watch the same movie several times a day, every day. Dolphins was definitely one of the better IMAX films. The film is very educational, but also manages to be entertaining. The visual effects are good as well. The tropical scenery is breath-taking.

sandroscarpa Really not bad! IN this documentary science and visual energie are combined with the freshness of sea images, underwater shots and amazing air shots. Great emotions if you watch it on megascreen or spheric screen.
