Watching 'The Best of Big Blue Live' there's absolutely no doubt about the high quality of the documentary. What was shown was incredibly beautiful, BUT too much commentary about things too far away to see sometimes, sadly! Indeed, the narrator often talked about things so far away to be seen I had to simply take his word for it that they were even in the picture! Regardless, the underwater and atop the water photography of otters and whales, in particular, was beautiful. You will also enjoy and marvel at this aquatic majesty, trust me.
