Oceans is super short and I found myself mesmerized by the imagery for the majority of the running time, but that doesn't mean it isn't boring as hell. Eventually you start thinking, "OK, this could be over now," which shouldn't happen in an 84 minute film.
The global warming message was there, but was lost in the cuteness of the polar animals. The pollution issue was only briefly addressed, and not at the end. After showing a sea lion swimming through murky, dirty water, inspecting an underwater shopping cart, the filmmakers decided to move on and show more animals living in clean water. You almost forget the point about pollution at the end of the movie.
Honestly, the movie is educational, but that's it. There's no entertainment value at all and so I just can't recommend Oceans.
