ShangLuda Admirable film.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

jlthornb51 Visionary director John Eyeres brings Boaz Davidson's classic, imaginative story to the screen with skill and stunning originality. Michael D. Weiss' script is taut and exciting, demonstrating superb understanding of U.S. Navy submarines, their crews, and the conditions they live in. This tense film has a crew fighting for their sub and their own survival as a giant mutated octopus attacks from the dark depths. The special effects are excellent in this tightly budgeted production but nowhere does the lack of funds show in the incredible production values. This is a film that has its share of horror and thrills but also takes some time to develop characters who we grow to deeply care about. These are flesh and blood human beings in uniform, desperately doing battle with an unholy creature, each of them flawed and none of them superhuman. The director never lets the audience forget the humanity involved in this struggle and that is what truly makes this horror/science fiction film unique.

GL84 After catching an elusive terrorist, an agent escorting him on a submarine home meets up with a giant octopus living in the area and tries to help the crew fight off the creature and keep the terrorist under control.Overall this was quite a surprisingly decent if flawed creature feature. One of the things it does quite well is the actual amount of time and spent here on the subs' descent into the depths of the sea-floor, where this gets a lot right. The scenes of crew receiving the damage and impact on their stations makes for some rather realistic moments of the devastation of these scenes which is quite surprising for a movie of this kind, and along with the outside attacks on the hull that propel it down the ravine as the attacks continue to dismantle the sub and the surrounding hillsides. That leads into the rather impressive attacks on the crew which are quite fun as it culminates on the mad dash through the submerged corridors towards the escape pods which gets quite suspenseful at times. Likewise, this is nicely balanced by great parts as the opening is rather fun spy-action chase that features some nice stunt-work as well as the explosions, while the finale goes for the big spectacle of the octopus attacking the cruise-ship that is a lot of fun seeing it attack the passengers. Beyond these factors, there's a few small flaws with this one in its pretty lousy set-up here. The need for the crew to transport him is so flimsy it makes little sense to happen in the real world and worse off doesn't even have any motivation here as surely a real-world force would come with extra guards and assurances against the actual escape rather than the one lone agent as happens here. Likewise, the film's pace is really off in by doing the brief spy- action at the beginning, dragging out the crew's mission and getting acclimated before going over to shots of the terrorists on-board the ship which doesn't make sense in the film at all before going through the rather fun attacks here, and that really leads to a confusing, disjointed pace. Other than the decent-but-obvious CGI, it's all that really hurts this one.Rated PG-13: Language and Violence.

ebiros2 The production is pretty good with this movie. They could have made it into a solid B movie if the dialog wasn't so bad. The one who wrote the script should be shot. The acting wasn't so great either but not sure if this is a side effect of crappy scripting. The actors themselves seemed decent enough, except for the Roy character who constantly over acted the scenes.Special effects were also acceptable for a movie of this type, so they shot themselves in the foot somehow and made this into less of a movie than it could have been.This movie could have been better if they took out all the silly over acting, and put in better dialogs.

info-806-601937 Of all the bad Hollywood productions this movie makes my top ten list. It's quite surprising that this piece of crap resulted in a movie that got even bought by a German TV station and some sorry desperate wanna bes even dubbed this masterpiece of awfulness. The cast consists of absolute losers and who is this clown who directed this? No need to say more, it's as if George W. Bush or some Scientology fanatic sat in the director's chair. Don't even bother to waste a minute of your time to watch this idiotic piece. Oh, and now IMDb wants me to write at least ten lines in order to get this review published... But I've said everything I got to say....
