30,000 Leagues Under the Sea

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.

Straight-to-video movie about Captain Nemo.

Horrible movie that toys with viewers by connecting it to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. All the characters in the first 30 minutes were a real turn-off but I stayed with it in the hope that it might improve once Captain Nemo turned up, I was wrong - it got worse!

There have been many Nemo actors over the decades (James Mason, Jose Ferrer, etc) and they were all fine. But this "30,000 Leagues Nemo" looks like some unemployed actor they found in the street.

Unwatchable rubbish.

Well, don't expect anything near the previous versions of Jules Verne adventure. Aside from the title and the recycling of names, this "updated" story is a total disappointment. Contrived story line, horrible dialog, horrible plot, and even worse acting. This is a dog fish if ever there was one. Real shame too, they could have done so much more with this premise if they'd only tried. It's like a really bad Deep Space Nine episode, only torturous drawn out and pointless. I gave it 3 stars out of pity. Don't waste your time with this one. The best description of this would be Dr. Strangelove meets Jaques Coustou, only without any of the humor or cinematography of either.

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!

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.
