Believe it or not, an IMAX film can make the transition to video perfectly well. It might not be three stories tall, but Dolphins is still a lovely, larger-than-life exploration of these strangely intelligent creatures. Visit the Bahamas, Argentina, and beyond to see different varieties (like the graceful duskies) play and hunt. Pierce Brosnan's narration and Sting's music fill the water with sound and add counterpoint to the dolphin's shrill cries; the film is an overwhelming experience even in the living room. Two short features follow the main attraction: see behind-the-scenes footage of the making of Dolphins as the enormous IMAX camera follows the sleek, gorgeous beasts, and learn some hard facts about marine science including how dolphins fit into their complex environment and why their numbers are at risk. Few nature films bear repeat viewing as well as this one--new details leap out at the audience each time. --Rob Lightner

5 out of 5 stars Dolphins.......2007-02-19

A very well done and most interesting film on a very intelligent animal, the DOLPHIN. It is perfect. I'm buying copies to give to my friends.

5 out of 5 stars This Movie Changed My Life.......2007-01-04

Yes, I am being a bit dramatic but honestly, this movie changed my life! I remember first seeing it in the Imax theater and being completely blown away by it. I have always been fond of dolphins but this movie made me fall absolutely in love with them and I have been donating to The Dolphin Communication Project (one of the movie's main focus) ever since!

The movie contains extensive knowledge about dolphins and offers insights into the world of dolphins that many books or documentaries have yet to touch upon. As mentioned earlier, the Dolphin Communication Project is a project that explores how dolphins communicate - they analyze the types of sounds that dolphins make, but also insightfully analyze their physical communication, kind of like a dolphin sign language.

I saw this movie with the camp I was a counselor for and every kid in the theater was mesmerized by this movie. The information is insightful enough for adults, but also given in a way that let's kids understand it as well. VERY KID FRIENDLY!!!

The last thing that drew me into this movie was the soundtrack that is done by Sting. I am a huge fan of Sting and I loved all his pieces that played throughout the movie. It is soulful and soothing and it is a perfect accessory to this movie.

I guarantee that you will walk away from this movie with a new found love for dolphins. Ever since watching it, I have been dreaming of swimming with dolphins and some day I hope that dream can come true!

4 out of 5 stars Great demonstration.......2006-03-07

How can an IMAX presentation in HDTV + 5.1 sound be ? Just great.

And when its about sea, sun, dolphins, narrated by the warm voice of P.B. and sung by Sting, its more than this.

Either to entertain children or stun friends, this one is just perfect, like all the Mc Gillivray Freeman series...

5 out of 5 stars Great DVD, but KEEP IN MIND.......2006-02-22

Tihs DVD truly has incredible camerawork, and fully illustrates the intelligence and beauty of dolphins, but some things people don't realize about dolphins kept in captivity need to be told. PLEASE take the time to read this.

Many dolphins you see in aquariums and swim-with programs and circuses around the world often come from brutal drive hunts, during which dolphins are rounded up into very tight nets concealing them, and are dragged ashore making it easier to violently wrestle them into slings. These dolphins captured, while they may be smiling in appearance (which is the way their faces were genetically designed), are ripped away from their beloved podmates and torn from their environment. How would you like to be a dolphin who once lived in a vast sea of blue and then suddenly be taken into a shallow pool of water, forced to live with the loud sounds of people screaming, the filtration system running, and very little space to swim?
In the process of capturing dolphins for human entertainment, many die in the process. Stress severely affects a dolphin's body, and many suffer irreperable damage to their hearts in the execution. On top of that, dependent calves (baby dolphins) who have spent the entirety of their lives with their mothers, often get torn from them, leaving them helpless, even if they are released.

While you can clearly see in the film that many of the dolphins appear to be having fun, would it not be too much to consider the fact that they might miss their former companions? Are they really happier stuck in a cement tank forced to perform tricks in order to be fed? Keep this in mind the next time you visit an aquarium or swim-with program. For dolphins captured in Japan, the industry has been given permits to slaughter a number of them needlessly in the process by the government.

I believe this film spends too little time in the beginning addressing the human threat to dolphins. Over 7,000,000 dolphins have died at the hands of humans since the late 1950s. I think a few minutes at the beginning of the film doesn't nearly suit the need to inform the audience of the issue. Tuna fisheries, whose products are falsely labeled as "dolphin-safe" (there are established 'KILL MINIMUMS' now for tuna companies) need to be exposed. Intentional killings in Japan (especially), South America, and all over the world need to be publicized. But I also understand that this is a family film, mainly, but I think it is also important to inform young viewers of the problems dolphins face with humans. They are the ones who will need to make the difference in the future.

Please just remember this next time you watch this film. While dolphins are valued by many, they are targeted by many as well as a way of easy money-making.

This film is more of a sugar-coated production, although it certainly is beautiful, as are the dolphins seen in the flim. I would recommend a film entitled "Dolphin Defender" for those who seek some informative footage behind the scenes to what really happens to dolphins in drive hunts.

Book Description

Probably no other sea animal has captured our affection and attention like the dolphin. Its intelligence and athleticism has fascinated observers for years. Dolphins seem to exhibit a friendly willingness to co-operate with humans…something very rare in the wild animal kingdom. We think we know them - racing through aquariums and performing at marine parks. But dolphins are more complex animals, with the capacity for language and affection. In DOLPHINS: Tribes of the Sea we travel the world to see how dolphin groups in different locales interact with humans. And we visit researchers as they discover just how intelligent and clever and intuitive dolphins really are.

5 out of 5 stars Great photography, a look inside dolphin intelligence.......2006-03-26

This DVD is a solid collection of dolphin encounters, stories of people who have formed relationships with dolphins, dolphins in the wild, and dolphin intelligence observations (which are truly impressive).

There is no cruelty in this DVD, which does make it more relaxing to watch. On the back of the DVD case there is a warning about violence, but that applies to the entire "Explore the Wildlife Kingdom" series, not this DVD directly. There is no cruelty to dolphins in this film. Tihs is a family-friendly movie.

From a lone dolphin in Ireland to the river dolphins of the Amazon, this DVD covers man-dolphin relationships all across the globe. The background scenery is stunning as well, but nothing compares to the animals themselves.

This is well worth the money. It's also a good film to watch to calm down or just to relax.

Description

For thousands of years dolphins have been revered as sacred healers, heroes and emissaries from the sea. Many ancient and diverse cultures from around the world tell stories of the unique spiritual nature of dolphins and their healing effects on human health and spiritual well being. It has even been speculated that dolphins possess powers of telepathy and extrasensory perception, and are equally as intelligent as humans.

In this fascinating program Mariette Hartley and Brion James present stunning new facts about these amazing healers from the sea. Neuroscientist and dolphin researcher Dr. David Warner presents an in-depth look at the extra-dimensional interaction between dolphins and humans, including the miraculous details about dolphin-assisted therapy with autistic children and cancer patients.

Includes spectacular underwater cinematography of dolphins and sea mammals and an amazing series of spellbinding interviews with researchers, experiencers, and the best-known, most credible dolphin authorities in the world today.

5 out of 5 stars Swimming With Dolphins: Healers of the Sea.......2007-05-07

I loved this DVD and would recommend it to anyone who loves dolphins and seeing them in their natural habitats. I've always loved being around the water and seeing dolphins playing in the bow wake of sailboats I've been at sea on. It's been my dream to swim with the dolphins someday and I hope it comes true in 2008 as there's a program down in Honduras that lets you train and swim with the dolphins, it's a week long and all the reviews I've heard about it, everyone loves this experience and comes away with a feeling of total peace.

1 out of 5 stars not what it says it is.......2007-03-19

The cover data was not really gone into in depth. it was more of a story about other marine mammals with several interspersed info bits about the dolphin healing abilities/research. in the bonus section there was about 30 minutes of info that repeated the sound bites with stops for passing horses. I was really disappointed with it as the info was already in text form on the net. no little children nor disabled adults were swmming with the dolphins and no parents were asked about the effects on their children of swimming with the dolphins. save your money! Jere

3 out of 5 stars Informative but not very entertaining.......2007-01-11

This DVD was informative but it had nothing to really do with Swimming with dolphins. It did talk alittle about swimming with dolphins but failed to really grasp the title of swimming with dolphins. I also really expected this DVD to be more entertaining and exciting. If you have a Psychology background you will appreciate parts of this DVD.

          2 out of 5 stars Unimpressive but pleasant to watch.......2006-06-18

          A few short dolphin footages intersperse this scenic video of shorelines, rock pools and swimming fish. Not very panoramic or comprehensive. Definitely not the most interesting or entertaining video out there about either dolphins or the sea. Try something else.
