GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Wuchak Released in 2007, "30,000 Leagues Under the Sea" features an eccentric billionaire madman, Captain Nemo, who's obsessed with the underwater world and threatens to destroy the surface with only his underwater utopia remaining. His ship, The Nautilus, is a mobile submarine city and includes civilians. It's up to a Naval rescue crew, led by Natalie Stone and Lorenzo Lamas, to stop him.This is a The Asylum flick, a company known for its low budget knock-offs of major productions. I've only seen a couple of their films and actually liked 2009's "The Land that Time Forgot" by C. Thomas Howell. That plus the fact that I'm a fan of Jules Verne, Captain Nemo and Mysterious Island gave me hope.The movie attempts a James Bond/Jules Verne hybrid in that it has the same plot as 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me." Captain Nemo, played by Sean Lawlor, even looks like Charles Gray's Blofeld from 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever." Unfortunately, it fails on many levels. Lamas and Lawlor are effectively charismatic in their roles, but most of the rest of the cast are okay at best and sometimes downright bad. The CGI is cartoony, but serviceable for a low budget flick. I can forgive practically any production weakness if the story is captivating, but this is where the movie fails most. The set-up of the first half hour is relatively dull, but things perk up when Nemo appears. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't capitalize on this and it spirals into a boring darkened vessel adventure, like a bad episode of Deep Space Nine. On the female front Kim Little is fetching, but they don't do enough with her. By the last 12 minutes I couldn't wait for it to be over.The movie runs 86 minutes.GRADE: D+

drklabs Stay away from this joke , i feel that this trush must be emptied into the bottom of the ocean to protect people from watching it,i wanted to show this hmmmm "movie" to my son but very lucky he was missed the film so i watched it alone ,oh god! this was not what i was expecting , i was remembering the real movie 20000 leagues under the sea that i watched when i was a little kid on cinema and it was amazing but this one? its really trush-garbage not worthing watching more than a sec and you ll understand that is absolute garbage films like this makes me to vomit - yes vomit ! movies like this will make you appreciate IMDb if you don't want to get sick or to vomit or your kids to hate you don't watch this film stay away , if i could give it a subzero i would be very happy but IMDb doesn't give you this chance to eliminate the film killers S-T-A-Y A-W-A-Y by all means and remember this if you don't trust IMDb comments "the make-up of the girl remained untouched after submarine crashes at the bottom of the sea ,nuclear explosions etc till the end of the film"

CaptBryl I can stomach poorly presented Sci-Fi at many levels, but the horror of 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea has left me feeling - not unlike it's poorly scripted and utterly inconsistent villain - that nuclear missiles would be a suitable option in this case.If you're coming to this expecting anything similar to the novel or previous film, you're truly going to be disappointed. Jules Verne has provided the scriptwriters with a few names and after that they appear to have burnt the rest of the book.Poorly acted, poorly scripted, poor set-designs, poorly lit, the sound poorly mixed - with sometimes inaudible and overlapping dubbing in - this film starts off bad and just gets worst.The most criminal act perpetrated by the team behind this is the apparently complete and utter lack of research performed whilst scripting this. At the stage where the commander of a (blatently WWII era) battleship orders it to steam at over 70 knots, my eyes glazed over, my mouth dropped open and I sat vegetable like at the ensuing horror. The set designers are not escaping this in glory either, whilst I understand the budgeting concerns, would it not perhaps be quite easy to remove the equipment that is clearly and prominently marked with the name of the cargo ship they are filming the "Battleship" scenes on - I managed to spot a fire axe, a lifeboat, and a life ring all happily visible in the background, just turning axe and life ring around would have sufficed but no, it's this slipshod attention to .... absolutely everything that sticks the rusty nails into this rotting coffin of idiocy.In summary. No. No. A thousand times no!

jokersauce OK, so I was home sick and flipping through channels when i saw this on Encore, thought it was the 1950 version... big mistake...There was only 30 minutes left of the movie, and it made me want to throw up, and I had been throwing up all morning. The acting was atrocious, the scene when Rollins comes back into the Aquanaut from untangling the propeller (how she went out with nothing but a wet-suit between her and 30,000 leagues of water pressure and didn't result in her ending up the size of a ping pong ball is beyond me) and she goes to kiss Arronaux... it was retarded... and that's understating severely.The CG looked like it was the product of some half-rate graphic arts college project. The squid looked like it was modeled after a bunch of plastic hoses attached to a bucket and everything else was choppy choppy choppy, not to mention the fact they used the same shots of the subs a dozen times, and keep in mind, I only saw the last half hour.The dialog/writing made little to no sense whatsoever and was very dull. There was no depth to this movie at all.So summary, 30 minutes = horrible factual errors, terrible acting, bad CG, retarded writing, stupid screenplay, list goes on and I'm running out of synonyms for "bad".I would rather have spent that half-hour spewing vomit from every orifice while simultaneously gouging my eyes out with a toothpick and cutting my ears off with a spoon... seriously woulda saved me some grief
