This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Reworking of classic novel 'Moby Dick' but this time using dragons as the game or hunt as it were. To be honest this is a really neat little idea, the only problem is its been made poorly which is a shame.I think this could of worked had a little more time and money been invested, the cast are OK I guess...for an action type film. Danny Glover is a little miscast as Ahab perhaps but Vinnie Jones does surprisingly well as does the hero Sevier as Ishmael. Nothing to rave about of course but the cheesiness of it all suits them fine and you know to expect ham.Of course the effects are slightly off-key, CGI is average but shows promise, even the use of old stop motion techniques used by Harryhausen are utilised at one point which almost works (oddly it looked better in the old mythology films of Harryhausen). Then you do have silly things which needed more planning such as the Pequod as a wheeled land tank/ship thingy. This didn't really work as it was way too small looking, it was like the Tardis, small on the outside yet apparently huge on the inside with about eight adults living in it with lots of quarters shown! plus how did it run? petrol? diesel? someone pedaling below? I must also mention my dislike of virtually everyone in action films these days being some kind of martial arts expert and able to defeat multiple enemies without breaking sweat. It really is so over used and in this film its so out of place, what's wrong with some good old fashioned fisticuffs?A nice idea but the execution is weak, worth checking out if you like dragon flicks though...I guess, not much else going for it.3/10

Actually, I didn't seek this film out, it was on TV, as I remember. Yes, I'm trying hard to forget it. Had I known this Daines chap was involved, I would have flipped channels. Seems like everything this guy touches turns into manure. And who would want to watch manure. How can a reasonably good story be so messed up when writing the script? Again, who wrote the script? Daines. So is it any wonder it turned out so badly? Garbage in, garbage out. The budget must have been nickels and dimes too. A suggestion, when you see the same name on a string of losers, take the hint, avoid films with his name on it. Avoid any and all films with the name "Daines" associated on it. If not then you too will waste time, and later wish you could forget that bad taste it left. Too bad IMDb doesn't allow for negatives, like -10/10.

Nothing else to say.. Since there is not a "zero star" option in IMDb, 1 star it is.. Please please do not waste your time by watching this.. Started watching this movie with so much expectations as I love dragon movies. That was my first mistake.. Nothing happens in the first ten minutes.. Fine.. Go on.. Next 10 minutes.. Its a bit slow.. Maybe the movie will pick up pace, as the harpoon throwing thing seems to give an idea that the movie is going to pick up soon.. That was my 2nd mistake.. Next 50 minutes were among the most boring and painful moments of my life.. What was I thinking?? Still hoping to find a good fight in the end at least.. Nope.. that was my next mistake.. The one thing that seemed right for me to do after watching this movie was to warn as many as I can by posting a review.. And so, this appears..Seriously guys.. Not worth watching..!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a big fan of Moby Dick but this was a poor and not very respectful adaptation. A land boat? That's pretty lame. Harpoons? Not very creative. Searching for the great white dragon? Very weak. Herman Melville's book captured its audience because the story is exciting, engrossing, and emotionally moving. In the original, Ahab wants revenge: We can understand that. The other boat is seeking her lost children: Again we can empathize. But this ridiculous collection of highlights is just stupid. Adding a love story was okay but everything else just seemed contrived and awful. I liked the actors but not the movie.
