CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
EECritic I remember seeing this in school when I was 10 and I hated this movie but years later, I decided to look back thinking that I might've been too harsh and I was so surprised that it was just as mind-numbingly awful as I remembered it to be.The animation is ugly and I mean it is on par with A Fox's Tale and Foodfight. Everyone looks like cheap plastic and have ugly humanoid faces like it's from Seaman (Sega Dreamcast game). The animation is cheap looking and the background scenery is bland. I've also noticed the sky is a picture they got from the internet.., they're not even trying.The story is incredibly cliché where the hero tries to win a girl from the bad guy except it is dumbed down. Oh and guess what, the one trying to hit on the female fish is a shark... I'm not even kidding. And if you're wondering, yes, this shark does eat fish making him some cannibal in their strange universe and the female fish even says "Your breath tastes like tuna!"... wait, how does she know what tuna tastes l-... oh my god.The jokes are really unfunny such as that cruel "better place in the sushi bar" joke and the lame mussels joke. The characters are either bland or extremely annoying and some of them are racist stereotypes. The background music is... oh I can't remember it, so it's forgettable. The voice acting is pale and I'm sure they aren't even trying. The movie is inconsistent at times such as when Nerrisa the turtle says some corals can tear skin off even though Troy went through it without serious injuries... whoops!I want to find some redeeming factors but there simply aren't any at all. It fails in all levels. It's not as bad as Where The Dead Go To Die (worst movie ever) in it's quality although it's pretty damn close but in terms of annoyance, it's the worst. This movie is up there with Where The Dead Go To Die, A Fox's Tale, Foodfight and Eight Crazy Nights in animation's hall of shame.
Stompgal_87 I first saw this film at the cinema nearly seven years ago because it appealed to me after having already enjoyed similar films such as 'Shark Tale' and 'Finding Nemo.'While this film has derivative elements from the other two films mentioned above (I.e. This film's poster looking similar to the one for 'Shark Tale' and the story starting off as 'Finding Nemo' in reverse), it still has colourful characters and backgrounds, amusing dialogue and lovely music. The film also had some clichéd snippets of dialogue ("You are what you eat," "plenty more fish in the sea," etc) and crude moments (e.g. Those involving sea creatures peeing and farting underwater) but these are saved by its most positive aspects. Some of the most memorable scenes were Pi being separated from his parents at the beginning, Pi growing from a child fish to an adult fish whilst leaping out of the sea, Cordelia saying the shark's breath "tastes like tuna" when he kissed her and the underwater amphitheatre scenes. One scene I found particularly impressive was the sea turtle fighting off the evil squids - this instantly made me think of 'Teenage Mutant Hero/Ninja Turtles.' Other gripes include the ending being abrupt and the sad fact that Pi never found his parents.Overall this is on par with 'Shark Tale' but not quite as good as 'Finding Nemo.' 8/10.
Steven Woods Ugh I wanted to rate this film less than a 1 but I can't. This is truly the worst film ripping off so many films such as Finding Nemo, Shark Tales and Karate Kid. This film is EXTREMELY cliché and I thought Osmosis Jones was cliché but looking back at it the story has an educational mix to it unlike this film where the plot is very boring. The animation and graphics are poor to say the least. Why even make a film about an annoying orange fish with an ignorant pink female fish (she's the worst character in this film because of her ignorance and her obnoxiousness) and a gross shark. I say it's a rip- off of Karate Kid because it's a plot where 'A protagonist finds a girl he likes but she is with the antagonist and he's coming to fight for her back', sounds familiar? Even Shrek 4 wasn't this bad. This film is unwatchable and I had to watch it twice to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake but there was no doubt now. I know people will say there are worse films or say things like 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' or 'Battleship Earth' are the worst films but I have watched them and they are bad but tolerable. I can be cruel and go as far as saying that I would rather become friends with Jon Venables and Robert Thompson than to ever watch this torture device. I really hope Nemo comes and murders Pi and Cordellia.
rosin007 Animation is hard work and to bitch about something what you can not create is just rude.If you do not like it,then do not watch it.It is is lovable story about a brave fish. But what is so great is the beautiful background of the sea and her amazing creatures. The colours of The Reef are so great. They just want you to put on you swimming suit and go to explore the sea. Kids will love this movie.It helps their imagination and creates a respect for the sea. It might not be one of the greatest movies it is still a pretty good pastime.
