I gave "Ocean Oasis" 5 versus the 4-Stars of the previous reviewer as it's about the fabulous lower Baha Peninsula's sea life (3/4 viewing time) and coastal land life (1/4 viewing time) migratory birds, sea lions, and the surrounding desert mountains with the emphasis on NATURE where the previous reviewer dinged the DVD by 1-Star because it didn't contrast the area's cities with the Baha desert regions; the DVD's about the lower Baha's sea and coastal bird/animal life and is beautifully filmed and narrated. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as long as you're not looking for a 'Tourist Guide' to the region!

IMAX Presents: Ocean Oasis - Two Worlds, One Paradise
The video "Ocean Oasis" is a beautiful presentation of the undersea and land marvels of the apparently thought to be drab Baja California peninsula. The above and below water filming is complemented with a discussion of the science of the multitude of the species found and the unique geology/oceanography that makes Baja a true oasis on both land and sea.

As a scuba diver I enjoyed this video. Makes me want to get back into the water soon! Very well done.

Have always loved the ocean in every way. Since living in Oklahoma naturally I don't get to see the ocean but a couple of times in the last twenty years, but this has brought it into my; house. I love it

I like all IMAX movies. I have quite a collection. This is going to be another one of my favorites. I listen to relaxation music and the nice thing about this video you can mute the sound and put on some music and it makes a very relaxing environment. I highly recommend this video if you are a fan of IMAX movies or not.

This is not worth the purchase for an educational DVD. I would not have wasted my time and money with this DVD, if I knew what I know now.

Great videography of topside - birds, landscape, elephant seals..... great videography of underwater - mantas, sharks, big and little fishes. But not a 5 star production like "Coral Reef Adventure" or other IMAX undersea videos! This video shows the beauty, but not a thing about the cities on Baja, how to get there, etc so it leaves me a bit flat. We have planned a trip to LaPaz or Cabo and this video leaves us fealing there are no humans on the whole Baja peninsula! I realize this is supposed to be showing the beauty of the area, but it would have been better if 5 minutes could have been devoted to showing the contrast of the cities vs. the stark desert. Too bad..... this could have easily been a 5 star. It is still worth getting for the incredible photography, but not worth watching over and over like some of the other IMAX shows.
