I first saw this movie in IMAX 3D and was truly impressed with a really good storyline and amazing 3D effects. When I saw this movie was released on Blu-Ray in 3D I was hesitant thinking the 3D at home would be a joke. I was proven otherwise. Even on the comfort of my couch the 3D is amazing. You still get all the feelings of the screen coming to life as well as objects projected so close you feel could be hit by them.

Stunning, amazing, informative and spectacular! Comes with 4 pairs of cardboard glasses. Do NOT use those (they're OK, but not great though!), Get plastic ones instead! Better fit, better view! Turn all your lights off, watch that DVD at night! It'll take your breath away! I really enjoyed it! Highly recommend!

I got this because I loved the BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs. However, National Geographic: Sea Monsters - A Prehistoric Adventure (In 3-D) [Blu-ray] isn't quite as good as that series. Rather, it features clips of paleontologists digging for fossils, with scenes of the CG sea monsters interspliced. As such, it isn't as entertaining or exciting as the BBC series, which shows just the dinosaurs. If you want a great series on prehistoric sea monsters, check out BBC's Chased By Dinosaurs, which in addition to dinosaurs has a mini-series featuring sea monsters that is much longer than National Geographic: Sea Monsters - A Prehistoric Adventure (In 3-D) [Blu-ray]. In the series, Nigel Marvin chases, and in turn is chased by, sea monsters from a variety of different time periods. It's both more entertaining and educational.

If you like 3D in Blue/Red colored glasses, this is for you. This is NOT for use in the new 3D movie technology (i.e. Samsung LED TV's).

I bought this 3d blu Ray because I have 3d tv. But 3d was very poor when it compared with other movie like alien vs monster.

I purchased the blu-ray version thinking that this would play perfectly on my new 50in Samsung 3d TV . Unfortunatley this turned out to be one of those red-blue 3D movies where you'd need to see it with the cardboard supplied glasses. The 3D effects are outdated and its just not that great after seeing some of the later movies with 3D effects.

Actually shame on me for not reading the product details before buying it.

but even with the supplied blue-red glasses on, the 3D effects are mediocre. The documentary is way too short and for the price i paid , it definitely feels like a rip-off.

Be very careful as this DVD is totally misleading its potential buyer.
When they say it is a 3D movie in fact it is an Anaglyph red and blue 3D dvd and not a true
polarized 3D hence super low quality.

So do not get fooled that those super big 3D letters as this is not a true 3D movie.

Very misleading and disappointing from a company like National Geo to make use of a hype
for 3D product and lying big time to the product they are selling.

This release is not in the new checkerboard 3D format -- the format is the traditional red/blue color shift.

That's good news if you want to use this on a BluRay player that's not 3D Ready, but is not what we were looking for as a demonstration disk for our shop.

I got this the other week and put this in my blu-ray and was blown away at the presentation,It felt like they were swimming in my living room.My girlfriend hates documentary's but after a long struggle of trying to get her to watch it with me I prevailed and this is her favorite video.I highley recommened this to anyone who loves 3D movies and documentary's!!!!! A+++++++++++

As others have said, and I failed to read..This movie is NOT for the new 3D technology glasses. For use with the paper blue eye red eye glasses.
