Intrepid

I agree with the other handful of unfortunates who grimly sat through to the end of the movie. The only person missing from the cast of a movie like this is Michael Dudikoff; although had he been listed in the credits then I would have KNOWN not to rent this movie.

It's a shame. Looking at the cast suggested that they could have done better. But I'm not prepared to waste mental energy asking why.

As soon as you read the synopsis, you immediately think of all disaster movies that have gone before. Titanic, Poseidon, even the Day after tomorrow. A ship capsizes yet all the lights stay on, everyone still manages to walk upright and you will hear the worst English accent ever! I also cannot believe that in all this mayhem a couple of passing sharks manage to actually get into the upturned vessel as well and then get a tasty meal from some bad guy possibly the best actors in the whole film. Don't waste your electricity and go and clean out your vacuum cleaner instead, much more entertaining.

I am surprised that no one has yet to comment on the scenes early on that were taken directly from the TV show: "The Love Boat". People walking up the gangway, people waving good bye etc. There is one scene where you can actually read "Pacific Princess" on the ship while the voice over (supposedly a radio reporter) is calling it the "Intrepid". This quite possibly was the worst movie I have ever seen. If I was not locked in a foreign hotel room on a stormy day with exactly one English Channel, I would have baled. I almost opted to watch soccer in German rather than this. There was not enough alcohol in the mini-bar to take away the pain.

A cruise ship carrying naval agents and the daughter of a VIP overturns in the wake of a nuclear blast.

The context, the plot and story of the film are very good, but I tell you that it isn't an amazing movie with spectacular special effects. If you are expecting a masterpiece, "Intrepid" isn't your best option.

A little more suspense and greater investment in special effects would greatly improve the quality of the film. Although I don't agree with the average score given by others IMDb users (on the day of this review it is 3.4).

The outcome is quite predictable. You know who the heroes and villains are most of the time. I think this point took some of the fun out of the film.

The cast isn't formed by Hollywood stars, but the performance is quite good!

The filmed is ok. I recommend (7/10).

This picture is awful, unless you like watching stock footage. Aside from the occasional clever bits of writing, this horrible waste of celluloid and magnetic tape must be some sort of joke, or the work of an Ed Wood protege. If you're at the video store on a weekend and all the good new movies are gone, don't pick this film up. Go home and play Parchesi, go clean your chimney, go tag your own neighborhood, go do anything else but rent this picture.
