USS Lionfish

I'm not a big fan of movies about drunks who bring on their own troubles because wahwahwah. Along with the really inane premise and bad acting, the drunk "hero" was very irritating. If I heard the silly chatter at the beginning correctly, they had 24 hours to examine the submarine. The "hero" arrives and the first thing he does is slug back a shot. Way to get the painstaking analysis started! Then for the next several hours (it went from day to night, supposedly), all of them sat at a dining table getting hammered. The excellent reviews for this movie? Must be the cast's mothers.

I had to stop watching this because of imminent nausea. This may not be the worst movie I've ever seen. But I'm hard-pressed to think of anything in the last few years to top it in that category. I wanted to feel embarrassment for anyone in the cast. Those whose performance was diluted by bad acting around them but, alas, they all were miserable actors. Some were just a little more miserable than others.

I was never a submariner. But I am a retired navy chief. This film is chuck-full of blunders. Bad writing and bad acting make it even less watchable. I could only watch 40 minutes of its two hours. One has to wonder why a film as dreary as this can be produced let alone released.

the way it ends makes no sense and they don't even try to offer up an explanation since there is possible way that a sub stuck in 1943 and on the bottom with no batteries in 200ft of water could possibly magically end up back in 2014 and above water where some guy opens their hatch and climbs down into the sub and then gives back a tablet computer which still powers up after 40 years when my tablet won't power up after three years on same battery. He then claims that the info on this tablet allowed them to win WW2 which as I remember we already won when we dropped the bomb in japan twice... and the laptop had no mention of atomic bomb or physics or whatever. I mean most time travel movies stretch the suspension of disbelief but they all follow simple time travel do's and don't which this movie's writer apparently never took note of... and the characters in this movie were all never developed or even established at all, not to mention the poor dialog which as I already mentioned could have been written by a 10 year old for a one night homework assignment to be generously rewarded with a C- if the teacher was in a generous mood or perhaps an illiterate. I gave this movie 1 star because I couldn't give it a half star or a quarter star which is what it deserves. Don't waste your time with this movie unless you need lessons on how not to write a screenplay or what not to do when making a movie about time travel. It doesn't even deserve this lengthy write-up which is far more entertaining than the movie itself if I do say so myself.

The acting and dialogue in this movie are quite startling, for even in these days of "Sharknado" it is rare to see such appallingly inept actors read such poor lines.

Wooden acting, clumsy timing and passionless delivery.

I was reminded of corporate team-building days where colleagues have to perform impromptu makeshift plays to increase fellow-feeling and bring out confidence. The actors just seem uncomfortable all the way through.

I managed 20 minutes before I fast forwarded. It was physically painful for me to watch , and I was squirming with embarrassment.

A truly dreadful movie that is not even funny enough to be entertaining in an ironic way.

Bad acting, bad script, bad bad bad everything.

No - I couldn't make it to the end of this over two hour painful sh*t of a movie.

After the first 30 to 40 minutes nothing could save it; nothing can save it. I cannot recall just where I stopped watching. But take my advice, please, skip this movie!

You must be a desperate hard core sci-fi needy addict to make it through this - - story?

Honestly just writing these words is boring me to tears - just like this movie did!
