Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Lack of good storyline.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Dear, oh dear, oh dear, what a mess. I have seen many bad things from Syfy but this is one of the worst. If you are looking for an adaptation of the wonderful story, don't look here, adaptation wise it is quite abominable. Not only that, it is a terrible movie on its own terms as well. The story is pretty much a non-existent and very sluggishly paced, while the dialogue is atrocious. The production values and effects look cheap too, and the direction is poor at best, abysmal at worst. The acting doesn't fare much better, Sean Lawlor does try his best but his character is very poorly written and developed and his dialogue is some of the worst of the film. Everybody else seems to not be trying. Overall, very underwhelming and a big mess. 1/10 Bethany Cox

THIS....is a must see if you like very, very bad movies. Or if you want to hang around with your friends, drink a lot and laugh about bad movies. But be warned: THIS IS OFFICIALLY DECLARED AS BULLSHIT!!!Let's list up some BULLSHIT... 1st: ACTING! This Movie defines the word ACTING in a new way...also I'm not sure, if this Movie-Look-Alike should be declared as a Movie... All Actors are obviously made of dead Wood or other lifeless Materials...and the Main-Character (Lorenzo Lamas) performs like he hasn't even realized they're making a Movie.2nd: GOOFS! To bring it up to one point: the whole Movie is a giant GOOF!!! I don't know where to start...* Factual Errors = the whole Movie is an Error * Dialogues = what??? * Continuity = forget about that *I really thought, i've seen the most mistakes that can be made alongside making a Movie, but this one raises the Bar to another Level.3rd: STORYLINE! Jules Vernes surely rotates in his Grave. If he would still be alive, he surely had to puke all day long, caused by this Adaption of his really good Story. All Elements from his Story are turned into BULLSHIT. A Captain(Nemo)with an Ambition, that makes no sense at all. The World-Police(USA) coming to save the day...with their Top-Agent-Cop-Cyborg-Terminator-Marine-Navy Seal-Seargeant-Lt. Commander-Lorenzo Lamas. Inventions, that are so ridiculous and a Submarine...declared as Up-To-Date and new, but looks like it was built with Parts from the JunkYard...and things done, ignoring all physical laws and all discovered science...and we're not in a Dream!At last i can only WARN everyone with the words, spoken so many times before: AVOID AT ALL COST!

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

As someone who served in the Navy, I found this movie appalling. The filmmakers did zero research (or negative research... is that possible?) into Navy uniforms and overall military structure. They didn't even attempt to accurately recreate military uniforms or standards. Some characters are wearing enlisted and officer insignias, the guys have sideburns that are way too long, and the girls wear earrings that are way too big. They never wear covers, and one chick is wearing a headband through most of the movie. The only thing that I can figure is that the script of this movie was so horrible, the US Government wouldn't even give them permission to semi-accurately recreate military life.
