Deep

OK, I've been on this site for a long time now and never written a review. This "film" is so terrible that I feel this incredible urge to spew out a few words. I won't go into the scientific inaccuracies because this is a kid's movie (and other people have already done it), but literally every single second of this movie makes me want to gouge out my eyes and eardrums with a rusty spoon. I would rather watch barney on a loop for the rest of my life than spend another second with these characters. Everyone involved with this monstrosity should be blacklisted from the industry and be forced onto a registry so that decent human beings can know what damage they've done to society.

She sat and watched it right through. It was decent enough for me to keep watching it too. It's not a classic but if your son/daughter likes fish this will probably work for them.

While "Deep" certainly was not an animation movie to make it to the top 10 list of animated movie, it still turned out to be entertaining enough for what it was.

While the story does have heavy underlying tones that are far too serious to be put into a children's animated movie, then it was done subtly enough so that the kids will not pick up on the fact that humans destroyed Earth. At least my 8 year old son didn't catch on to that part of the story.

It turned out that he rather enjoyed the movie, whereas I found it to be mediocre. It was the fact that everything was so predictable and scripted that sort of kept the movie from taking off and becoming more than just mediocre.

The characters in the movie were adequate, although hardly memorable. At least not memorable enough to last long after the movie has ended.

The animation itself was good, and I liked the small details they had in all the scenes, such as small pieces of debris or clutter drifting about. It really added to the sense that you were actually submerged into the depths of the oceans that had flooded the entire Earth.

"Deep" is good enough entertainment for a single viewing, but I doubt that I will ever be returning to watch it a second time around.

While this movie is not made by animation giants such as Disney Pixar, dreamworks etc., it's pretty well done, very atmospheric and entertaining. It's even creepy at times. The humour may not always be the funniest, there are some fart jokes, and the singing feels a bit out of place. Although it's not totally terrible and there is not much of it, thankfully. But I think this one is underrated cause it's a pretty decent animation movie. The plot is simplistic, yet adventureous, the charachter are pretty much one-dimensional but I think this suits the setting well, since they are marine creatures after all. I also liked the design of the creatures, definitely nicely designed. I especially liked Alice the shrimp. Overall, It had it's moments, and after reading so many negative reviews I was expecting something really trashy. Lastly I would say there were some logical fallacies anda few continuity problems, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't always accurate from a biologists standpoint either. For starters I'm sure the dumbo octopus is cannot be a giant squid's grandson. But I stand at my opinion that this movie is underrated and entertaining nonetheless. Also, it had an interesting setting, I mean how many animated movies have we seen about the mighty fascinating deep sea creatures? I say give this movie a chance.

Let's be fair to Lionsgate: while their offering of animated movies are on average really bad, some of their animated movies are so bad it's good. This is one such example. Deep may be bad, but it deserves credit for being what it is worth.

The animation is technically top-notch for a low budget animated movie although some character animation leaves to be desired. The story, while being a straight up Nemo ripoff, is weird and wonderful. Maybe a little bit too dark for a kids movie, I guess?

My biggest problem is without a question the characters themselves. I felt Deep as a character is wholly undeveloped. He kept on making reckless decisions that jeopardise the safety of him and his friends, yet still does not repent on his actions. His voice is also annoying and I had no idea who voiced him, but regardless, I enjoyed the antagonists, especially Norma the vampire squid and of course, William Salyers (the voice actor of Regular Show's Rigby) as Darcy the penguin. Speaking of, can you imagine Rigby and Crash Bandicoot (Jess Harnell voiced Luigi the walrus) as two of the antagonists? I can't.

Also, there is some scientific inaccuracies that might piss some moviegoers off. For instance, how on earth can the heroes operate a New York subway car... underwater? I know this is a kids movie and some stuff does not have to be accurate, but come on.

The songs are without a doubt so bad it's good material and are definitely worth listening to... (in Jeremy Jahns's voice) if you are drunk.

Overall, if you pretend Deep is not a Nemo ripoff, you'll going to have a good time. Kids will enjoy it, but animated movie buffs like me will enjoy this movie more with good company, food and drink, and a good laugh. If you need an animated movie for a bad animated movie night, this should be on top of the list.
