Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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

Michael Ledo This is an Asylum production, known for bad films. The technical aspects of the movie are about zero accurate except for the fact submarines go under water. You can not extend a periscope at 1700 feet beneath the water and see anything, let alone take a picture. You cannot poke a periscope through ice, nor can a submarine do a 90 degree up bubble without uncovering the reactor core and immediately going right back down the way they came. They don't then splash on the surface as the Seaview used to do. The list is endless of the gross technological impossibilities.How did Ahab rise from an enlisted sonar technician to becoming the Captain of the Pequad? I think after losing his leg, he would of had a medical discharge. The movie stars Renee O'Connor (whale scientist) of Xena fame who wears a bikini top in the beginning, sporting her new set of love handles. She manages to do some decent acting amidst a sea of bad actors and stolen lines from the original "Moby Dick". Like Supercar, Moby Dick appears to be at home both on land, sea, and in the air. Ahab is obsessed with finding the white whale that took his leg while he was an enlisted man and goes rogue.There are worse film out there, and most are produced by Asylum.

GL84 After being abducted and taken aboard a futuristic submarine, a scientist and her assistant find themselves involved in the captain's mad quest of vengeance against the legendary 500-foot long whale responsible for his disfigurement and a trail of carnage along the water.Overall, this is a perfectly fine and decent creature feature, based mainly upon the fact that it really features a lot more original material than would be expected since it's based on the familiar story quite well. Being a modern-day adaptation allows for some more fun in some key areas, as there's some really entertaining and exciting underwater chases involving submarines, torpedos, traps, and such, which is something that's a lot of fun and really amps the film up considerably. The final fight in the island cove also works pretty well, but the film does suffer from the same old thing regarding the Sci-Fi Channel originals, the lame CGI that rarely matches the action presented as well as the fact that this one has a lot of extraneous subplots to stretch the running time out which are pretty silly, but the CGI is the main thing holding this down and keeping it fairly mediocre.Rated Unrated/R: Language and Violence.

ulrichburke Oh yeah, I forgot, it's by Asylum. And actually LIKING an Asylum movie isn't cool, is it. OK, I'm not cool, I think this was a very well done ensemble historical movie. The costumes - good. The feeling of camaraderie on board ship - good. The sets - small, but they hid their size by making the cast seem more numerous. Atmosphere - great, I thought. I loved Qui-qui, if I've gotten his name right, and I thought the historical atmosphere matched many of the old-time Hollywood movies this was clearly an homage to.Asylum's scripts/dialogue have always been good and this was no exception. The cast entered into the spirit of things and, though nobody was running any risk of winning an Oscar, they did a very good job. It dragged a LITTLE bit on the ship when they were getting to know each other, but that's my only real gripe.I wasn't expecting a historical film when I sat down to watch this, I thought they'd have updated it like they updated their Titanic or Sinbad movies - but no, they kept it creditably in period. Overall - a fun movie, very atmospheric, great costumes, feel-good in style, not great acting, true, but everyone entered into the spirit of the thing with gusto. Well worth watching, like so many other Asylum movies.Don't knock the Asylum just cos they're the Asylum. Watch the films first. The old ones were bad. The modern ones could pleasantly surprise you. I give this one a seven, going on 8, out of ten. Good movie.Christopher Burke

swsmth-754-933750 If you like *really* bad movies, this one is for you. It's SO bad, it's like... you know..."Rig for silent running; we're headed into Russian water. Set the sonar sweep at ten second intervals!" Oh! I love it! (Spoiler!) Greenpeace wouldn't like this one because the whale gets whacked in the end.If you're the type who watched Killer Tomatoes three times and cried during Plan Nine from Outer Space, you'll *love* this movie. If not, save your money. I don't know what else to say; however, the site wants at least ten lines of text; therefore, I must blather on to the end of the line.
