Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Unordung OK so my partner and I got this movie expecting a serious take on the timeless tale of captain Nemo. Sadly our expectations were far too high for this title, it seems we were duped by the "in the tradition of the abyss and the hunt for red October"! The only thing this piece of excretement has even remotely in common with the above titles is the underwater element. This movie is a complete shocker, it's so bad I created an account just to ensure other people don't support such horrid actors, producers and directors in any financial way. Honestly I know high school speech and drama students that have more skills and charisma than to talentless hacks polluting this movie. The audio guy needs to have a boom mic inserted up his rectum sideways, the sound is all over the place and is as if it was recorded on a cheap digital video recorder. As for the director, wow simply wow. I was thinking of someway I could critique your abilities without resorting to insults but sadly I can't. Lucky for me this complete rubbish movie is more than enough of an insult. You need to quit and try something your better at, I don't know maybe work at Walmart or something. Well anyway people I hope my review is enough to encourage you to hire or purchase a different movie.
random343343 What can I say; if I had to sum this movie up in a word I would say boring. Admittedly it had a budget of only 500 000 but so did the cube and they managed something that was at least respectable.Let's start with the acting. It would have to be some of the most wooden acting I have ever seen. Every line was delivered in a monotone that ABC news cant even match. And there is so much dialog in this movie, it is difficult to tell how bad the script is because the bad acting over shadows everything else.The special effects were half decent for the budget, but these days special effects are pretty easy to do. I myself could almost to as good as this and I know many people who could to better.Never judge a book by its cover and same with movies. I like a over the top unrealistic explosive movie but this is just plain boring. I was lured in by the interesting out there cover, but ten minutes in and I already regretted it. Hopeless 2/10.(10 perfect, 5 not really worth my time, 1 I would rather watch grass grow for 10 hours than watch this movie for 10 minutes).
w-engler If your idea of a movie is to watch head shot after head shot after head shot of actors, used in order to hide poor and questionable backgrounds, then this movie is for you. The scenes seem designed to fit people into as small of a space as possible, probably in order to minimize costs on the walls and backgrounds. What does it cost to build a room with table and chairs and such, versus a closet with a left over kitchen counter top as the apparent table, with chairs so tight around the actors can't move. The scene where the find a remote control attached to their submersible is priceless. There is a remote the size of a large snow globe under there control console, glowing bright blue (which no one notices in the dark cabin), at least until someone reaches under to grab it and yank it out. And then, this complex control mechanism and all the wires they broke is reattached in 5 seconds when ordered to by Nemo.Please, please, please, save yourself and avoid this film.
Paul Andrews 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea starts as Lieutenant Captain Michael Aronnaux (Lorenzo Lamas) is ordered to use his invention the Oxygenator, which turns water into air, aboard his small sub the Aquanaut 3 to dive down 20,000 feet to the stranded USS Scotia & save the 150 odd crewmen. Once Aronnaux & his small crew reach the USS Scotia they are kidnapped by eccentric billionaire Captain Nemo (Sean Lawlor) & held prisoner on his submarine the Nautilus where he reveals that he has stolen the nuclear warheads from the USS Scotia & intends to use them to destroy the Earth & create an underwater utopia. Aronnaux & his crew aren't keen on the idea & set out to stop Nemo in his destruction of our planet, as the fate of the human race hangs in the balance can Aronnaux stop Nemo?Directed by Gabriel Bologna this is yet another Hollywood blockbuster rip-off from those people at The Asylum, do I really need to to say which Hollywood flick 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea rips-off? There's only one number difference in both titles although any connection to the classic Jules Verne novel '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' is purely coincidental. While the original Verne novel was set during Victorian times the makers of 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea decide to set the story in contemporary times although the basic plot of a sea loving genius who wants to start a new civilisation under the waves is present & correct. To be brutally honest 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea is absolutely terrible, the plot sucks, there's no pace or tension or drama, the character's & dialogue are awful & the film has many, many factual holes which are painfully obvious to anyone with an ounce of common sense or general knowledge. For instance the submarine featured in 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea sinks to a depth of over 20,000 feet yet the crush depth of such a submarine is less than 2,500 feet & then there's the scenes of people diving & swimming at that depth with nothing more than normal clothing & simple air breathers. Also I think I am right in saying that at a depth of over 20,000 feet it would be literally pitch black since no sunlight can travel that far through water so why is everything illuminated so well? Why does that underwater Volcano intermittently prevent radio signals? The basic physics & facts of reality are completely ignored in 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea & it has no dramatic impact or weight because of it. The whole film is also incredibly boring, the pace is slow & the plot is very predictable with obvious character arcs, plot development's & a by the numbers 'hero saves the day & rescues the girl' style ending.This film just looks cheap, from the rubbishy low lit sets that looks slightly more futuristic than your average warehouse corridor to the boring design of the costumes & underwater equipment. The sets are decorated by what looks like cheap car seats & I never really got the impression that I was on a modern, sleek ultra sophisticated state-of-the-art submarine. The sets & production design on Seaquest DSV (1993 - 1996) were far superior to this & 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea feels like a cheap imitation of it. This is strictly PG stuff all the way so forget about any fights or gore or action. The CGI effects vary, some of them are alright if a little basic while other's are awful like the giant squid things which look terrible.With a supposed budget of about $500,000 this didn't have much spent on it & it shows since the film looks drab, dull & cheap throughout. Par for the course for The Asylum really, do they even try to make good films? The acting is poor from no-one I have ever heard of before.30,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a cross between 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea & Seaquest DSV with less than spectacular results. The CGI isn't as bad as it could have been but all the errors that you need to suspend your disbelief & forget everything you know about the sea just sink it without trace.
