Journey to the South Pacific

Journey to the South Pacific 

Narrated by Academy Award® winner Cate Blanchett, Journey to the South Pacific will take moviegoers on a breathtaking IMAX® adventure to the lush tropical islands of remote West Papua, where life flourishes above and below the sea.  Join Jawi, a young island boy as he takes us on a journey of discovery to this magical place where we encounter whale sharks, sea turtles, manta rays, and other iconic creatures of the sea.  Home to more than 2,000 species of sea life, this exotic locale features the most diverse marine ecosystem on Earth.  An uplifting story of hope and celebration, Journey to the South Pacific highlights the importance of living in balance with the ocean planet we all call home.

My Thoughts

This is such a great show.  The Journey to the South Pacific documentary gives you an upfront and personal look into the world of sea life. I enjoy all documentaries, and this one is no different. This time, we follow different animal families including whale sharks, sea turtles, and manta rays.   You learn how they survive the wild terrains of their habitat. There's so much action in this show, it's not much different than watching a movie. Expect, this is real life, which makes it so much more fascinating. 

I really enjoyed watching this documentary. I love watching the animals interact and seeing the beautiful landscapes of far-off lands I know I'll never be able to visit. The narration gives you just enough plot without interfering with the nature effect.  My whole family enjoyed watching this show together, and my children range in age from 7-18.  With Journey to the South Pacific, you can make family movie night both fun and educational.
