overlong and boring

jules verne makes imaginative books, but let’s face it, the attempts to move them to the big screen are destined to fail. especially if you’re lacking money. jules had such wild ideas that they cannot be produced anywhere but inside the readers mind.

this particular one has a great cast, but the mini way too long compared to the boredom it arouses. i had to use three days to watch it because i kept falling asleep.

the special effects look amateurish, and all the intensity from the book has vanished somewhere in the production. all i felt about it was a little claustrophobia.

a tip to the crew: you should have asked the champ, kevin costner, he could have probably told that it’s not automatically an epic if you make it long. you need some events, too, you know.

Unwatchable miserable awful horrible TV

On the level of the worst Disney and more like some 1930s action-adventure movie where, say, the guide yells “Look” and points left while the camera cuts to cheap stock footage of a lion running off to the right somewhere.

There is nothing – not one single thing – worth watching in this movie. Even Caine is bad.

The effects – one of the reasons one might watch something like this – are below anything you can imagine: a ship floats in the back on an ocean a different color from the “real” ocean in front; the octopus has one rubber tentacle that’s dragged around in an aquarium.

But most – maybe 95% – of the movie is talk. Nemo shows folks around his sub for hours (or days or weeks); the hero lectures some scientists forever. it’s just talk and more talk with an occasional shot of a metal sub model.

Avoid this at any cost. It’s not even watchable over pizza when you’re reading or doing something else; it’s not even close to as good as the worst Godzilla movie; it’s worse than “Plan 9” but without the camp.
