...This is the third aquatic documentary Howard Hall has directed for Imax, after Deep Sea 3-D and Into the Deep 3-D.

But the brevity of the film, and the spectacular oddness of the creatures, leave you - and, perhaps more crucially, your children - wanting more.

British forces and government agencies based in Basra after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion became a magnet for militia attacks and struggled to deliver on promises of reconstruction and development. But in March 2008, the Iraqi army launched an operation code-named Charge...
