Ocean with David Attenborough

This documentary was incredible, it contains the facts and information that we all need to know.

If you are someone wondering whether or not to see this as you may not think it's your cup of tea then please know that it has been constructed to capture the attention of many different types of people ALL with different interests.

The documentary was visually wonderful. Personally I found this overall an emotional but heart-warming experience.

Sir David Attenborough is a towering figure in natural history story-telling and he shows this again in this documentary.

I cannot recommend this enough.

Profoundly highlights the ubiquity and devastating impact of industrial fishing practices, particularly seabed trawling, on our marine ecosystems (that otherwise have the potential to save our planet from climate catastrophe). This method indiscriminately scrapes the ocean floor, destroying fragile marine habitats such as cold-water coral reefs, seagrass beds, and nursery grounds that are essential for fish populations and carbon storage. The documentary makes a compelling case for global action to ban this destructive practice and establishing no-fishing zones, which have been shown to have rapid success in allowing marine life to recover. Let's save our sea, save our planet.

I was lucky enough to view this film in the presence of the director and a panel of European dignitaries, scientists and policy makers. I cried. Trawlers have destroyed the oceans, with government subsidies! Insane. But the cinematography was beyond beautiful. I cried at the beauty, despair and glimmer of hope the movie portrayed. David Attenborough is the world's best narrator and lover of nature. At 99, he has inspired generations and I hope, like Carl Sagan still inspires today all things of the Cosmos, Attenborough will continue to do so after he has been gone. And like Sagan's 21st century inheritor, Neil Degrasse Tyson has continued his legacy successfully, I still cannot imagine who can take Attenborough's place yet. He is legend. Pure visual and intellectual delight. Thank you for making these films. They inspire.

No words. Must watch. This documentary is for all.

Well done to David and his team. To have experienced paradise on earth many times over in the adventure that has been his life ... And to share with the world how important it is to cherish and look after our natural world. David is a living legend. What a legacy!

Here's to us protecting more than a third of our ocean. I hope we can protect even more. How embarrassing the lengths we go for profit and greed. I knew we pillaged our oceans but I had no idea how bad it was. Or didn't want to know.

We really need to consume less, lol. Not just from the ocean, but in general.

Went to see this documentary, released to mark the 99th birthday of David Attenborough. The plea to save our oceans is heartfelt and moving, with David telling us that he's coming to the end of his days. I was appalled at the wanton and greedy destruction of the ocean habitats and sea creatures through profligate overfishing. However, despair turns to hope as David explains how easy it is to repair the ravages we have wrought on the marine environment. We really must not turn a blind eye to the blight of overfishing, horrific trawling and the near extinction of marine species. David narrates with as much passion and dedication as ever, and it was quite poignant to see him standing on the white cliffs at the end.
