Michael Phillips
Visually [it's] quite seductive.
A.O. Scott
Oh, it's amazing.
Dana Stevens
Its visual splendor more than makes up for its intellectual poverty.
Liam Lacey
There are life-and-death dramas, moments of playfulness and tenderness, which create an ever-increasing sense of wonder.
Jeannette Catsoulis
Horseshoe crabs scuttle like possessed Nazi helmets and a school of fish morphs from dreidel to disco ball, as if choreographed by Busby Berkeley.
Cary Darling
Oceans is more of a random collection of images from the deep. But, boy, what images.
