This was a moderately interesting mystery thriller for the majority of the film. I was sitting around a 5/10 during the first hour. Then, when the initial twist happens, it made the story arc much more interesting, moving my rating up to the 8 territory. But as the finale wrapped, the last twist made next to no sense, dropping it back down to a somewhat enjoyable film.

I think I got whiplash from all of these humanitarian disasters thrown at me in the last 90 minutes.

The information in this documentary is important, but it is thrown at you at 150mph with the most melodramatic presentation imaginable.

This movie may be one of the more visually striking comic movies ever made. They clearly put an enormous amount of time and effort into the underwater CGI sequences. There were countless times where I thought to myself "if you took a still shot of the screen right now, it'd be a beautiful wallpaper or poster." Though with all the work that went into the visuals, almost none went into the story. The plot was as straight forward as it comes which dragged in a 2.5 hour long movie. And the dialogue was painful at times. Ultimately with all the various pros and cons, the movie is entertaining to watch. So turn your brain off and ride the wave where it takes you.
