30.000 leguas de viaje submarino

I don't see why anyone would watch this. The CG is pathetic. The acting is very high school. Lorenzo Lamas? Why? Why? Why? This is no way to end a career or begin one. The actual story could have been something, but the money put in just wasn't enough. My advice to the actors of this movie... Please just try to be yourself. Read the script, make it your own. Saturday Night Live is for reading cue cards, OK? Do yourself a favor and rent an ed wood movie or even better, rent Robot Jox. I thought Lorenzo Lamas was worth watching at one time. I guess the 80's just slipped away. He ranks right up there with Michael Pare. I'm surprise he wasn't in this disaster. Go away bad movie, please go away!

I was really disappointed by this one. I was hoping to see a well acted movie, instead I got sick to my stomach as soon as the dialog started. I cannot think of another concept as good as this on totally flushed down the toilet. This was a total waste of time and money for the production company and anyone who pays to see it. There is so much that could have been done with this movie, and yet, like many other crappy movies lately, we are left imagining what could have been. Personally, I have never made a movie, nor have I even made a picture slide show, however, I know I could have done better than what we have here. Man, there are so many other workable ideas that are better than this filth. Do not waste your time.

I would have a tough time picking which was worse, the acting or the editing. Scenes just jumped from one to another, sometimes without explaining what happened. I didn't expect great acting, due to the origin of the movie, but I was hoping for more than this. How bad was the acting? Lorenzo Lamas was one of the best actors. That is bad. I debated on giving this a 2 or a 3 rating. I gave it a 3, because the idea behind the movie wasn't terribly bad, and the effects weren't bad for a made-for-TV movie. You could watch it on a Sunday afternoon, if you have a head cold, can't get off the couch, and your too sick to change the channel or find a DVD. Other than that, I would really try to avoid it altogether.

So, another movie from the infamous Asylum. A film studio who pound out these "Mockbuster" movies that are low budget rip offs of big Hollywood titles and release them at the same time to cash in on their popularity.

For example

The Day the Earth Stood Still > The Day the Earth Stopped Pacific Rim > Atlantic Rim Aliens vs Predator > Aliens vs Hunter Snakes on a Plane > Snakes on a Train High School Musical > Sunday School Musical

You get the idea. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact they're so incredibly dire!

I'm sure I don't need to say what 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a "Mockbuster" of but rest assured it doesn't use much of the material. A couple of character names (One they fail to pronounce correctly) and the Nautilus and that's as far as it goes. The entire movie is an embarrassingly bad entirely original story that has nothing to do with Jules Verne's classic works.

I've been binge watching every adaptation and this is the last one, what a way to end it on an absolute bottom of the barrel low.

It looks terrible, the cast are pitiful and this actually manages to be bad even for an Asylum feature. Bad, bad, bad.

The Good:

I like the bit where it ended

The Bad:

Expectedly poorly made

Some embarrassingly bad sound balancing in places

In no way is it based on Vernes work

Dreadfully paced

Cast are less than competent

We already knew that Lorenzo Lamas was a bad actor and not very bright considering the fact that he broke up with a fox like Shawna Sands but he had to go and confirm his stupidity by taking part in this film. It was horrible! Bad acting, bad effects, bad dialog and way too much face time for Lamas. This film had generally no redeeming qualities whatsoever. In addition, the film strayed so far from the original Captain Nemo storyline that they might as well have left out the Jules Verne reference altogether. Hollywood had a genuine opportunity to make something entertaining and redeeming in this age of environmental awareness and once again, dropped the ball.
