Product Description
Oceans cover 70 percent of the Earth's surface,
but there is still much to learn about them.
Immerse yourself in this mysterious and
miraculous world. Seabeds, rocky cliffs, and
coastlines pounded by the sea are home to
a multitude of creatures that have developed
ingenious ways to adapt to their environments
and fend off predators.
Water Life captures extraordinary locations and intimate animal behavior never before seen on
film. Two years in the making, this groundbreaking series takes viewers on an unprecedented
visual journey to aquatic ecosystems on five continents to reveal how water shapes and sculpts
the landscape and provides food and refuge for an astonishing array of species. This epic series
tells water's story as never before to engage viewers in vital discussions about how water must
be conserved and preserved.

 Low quality visuals, boring, poor narration. Skip it. April 7, 2010
New Jersey 1 (US)
There is nothing redeeming about this documentary. Stick with Home, the Equator series, or something from the BBC.
 A worthy attempt to portray aquatic habitats December 1, 2009

Water Life is a very good documentary and probably the best I've seen in a long time that wasn't produced by the BBC. Visually, this documentary is stunning (especially in blu-ray). It covers aquatic environments on land and in water, showcasing the diversity and range of ecosystems.
This isn't simply another version of Blue Planet: Seas of Life. In fact, Water Life features relatively few of the large, charismatic aquatic animals such as whales and sharks (although they are in the documentary). Rather, this series spends a good deal of time with the smaller creatures. It does this well, with great closeups of insects and baby fish. Many of these animals, while not new to science, are certainly new to TV viewers. In fact, it's almost more like Microcosmos in that sense.
Unfortunately, the narrator doesn't match the quality of the footage. The narrator's voice is extremely dry, almost robotic. While the images show awesome scenes of water ripping through valleys, the narrator comes across as pedantic in tone. It's too bad David Attenborough couldn't narrate it. Perhaps the narration could be remixed for a new version of Water Life.
