From the Academy-Award nominated creators of the Broadway show STOMPand the award-winning film Wild Ocean, The Last Reef is an uplifting, inspirational large-format and 3D cinema experience capturing one of nature's more vibrant and diverse wonderlands. Exotic coral reefs, vibrant sea walls in the sub-arctic pulsating with anemones and crustaceans: these biodiversity hot spots are as vital to our lives as the rainforests. Shot on location in Palau, Vancouver Island, French Polynesia, Mexico, and The Bahamas using groundbreaking 3D cinematography, The Last Reef takes us on a global journey to explore the connection of our cities on land with the ocean's complex, parallel world of the coral reefs beneath the sea.

Updated review: see below
The 4K UHD has mixed quality video, so avoid this title if your going to try to showcase your 4k home theater set up. I found the SDR looked less pixelated than the HDR version especially during the water/manta ray scenes in chapter 5. The best parts of this movie unfortunately are the above water scenes of the busy human cities which match some of the gorgeous 4k videos available on YouTube. One thing I found interesting is the ability to switch between the SDR and HDR versions on the main starting menu. Cool for comparing picture settings between the 2 formats.UPDATED REVIEW 3/20/2017Raised the score from 3 to 5 stars, it seems the XBOX One S is a lacking 4K UHD player compared to the SONY UBP-X800 I received today. This and all of my other 4K disks look much improved on the Sony UHD player especially clarity and HDR color.

Both informative and visually pleasing. If you like watching fish this is for you for 70-80% of the duration.
The content of this video is, in many scenes, both stunning and spectacular. There is some material which originates at a lower resolution and striping is visible as a result of the enhancement process.The juxtaposition between human habitation and reef is valid but overplayed. One sequence of a major city time-lapse photography would have sufficed.The disc set is advertised and labelled as Region 'A' but the 4K and Blu-ray versions have both played on my multi-region 4K UHD machine whilst set to 'B' without difficulty or switching of region setting. It may be that they are set, in reality, to 'ABC' in common with most current 4K material.

4k blue ray The Last Reef
If you are not a believer in man-made global warming, don't buy this video. The title really does not tell the whole story as it is about the Bikini Atoll reef that formed after the atomic detonation in the '40's. But the real message, after they present some solid facts about how reefs are harmed by warming sea water, is the wholly unsupported notion that it was caused by mankind. The bulk of the narration centers on this idea rather than speaking of the beauty of underwater sea life, as you might assume. The video quality is good but not great for 4k; underwater is slightly less than ideal while the arial shots of NYC are excellent.

excellent in 3D
Saw it first in 4K on my 4K tv via my 4K player but the movie was a way different experience via my 3D tv .. excellent in 3D .. made me really fall back in love w my 3D tv ..On a tangent, I wanted to see the difference between my 4K and 3D tvs and there really just is no comparison the 3D experience is so much more superior .. though 4K tv and player makes every movie DVD, blue ray, streaming far better than my 3D tv .. but 3D movie done right just blow the movie watching experience out of the ball park ..

Beautiful 4k IMAX Picture
I played this on my 140" wide IMAX capable screen from a Sony projector, the picture and the sound was amazing. My cats sat and watch without moving the entire time. Wish it was longer run time, but like most IMAX created features, its under an hour. Colors are super vivid and lifelike and the depth goes on forever. If you love saltwater aquariums, reefs or underwater life - this is fantastic.

Nice 4K film but could have been better
Good but could have been much better if they included more underwater scenes from other reefs around the globe, the film has a lot of other terrestrial scenes and a PSA regarding global warming. I appreciate the PSA but wished they stuck to the subject at hand first which is reefs, after all that is why I bought this film to start with. Put the PSA message at the end of the film instead of spreading it across the entire film every few mins, made me feel like they were schooling me about global warming so it made be not enjoy this film as much as it could have.

Very well made. A little too much propaganda but the quality of the film override this problem. Highly recommend this to any 3D fanatic of nature movies
