Review by recluse2

Why is a tunnel needed when there are already planes and ships? To haul goods across the Atlantic like a superhighway?Cargo ships are not sufficient for this purpose? For another mode of transportation, like a colossal non-stop subway ride? Film does not explain the practical purposes of the tunnel. How do they get to the bottom of the ocean, and how do they blast into the ocean floor to first start digging the tunnel? (Pressure from descending into the depths). Film does not explain.The film does hint at some sort of humanity-uniting purpose which the tunnel will produce. But how? I would imagine the novel would answer these questions.
