    Considering the material it had to work with plus the actors involved it came up well short of it's potential.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    I thought this was a film due to the other reviewer, but it turns out to be a two part 'Made For TV' mini series and a not very good one at that.

    The acting is a bit wooden and the CGI is really appalling due to the actors not interacting with the monsters, giving the impression that they are standing in front of a blue screen and trying to hit the monsters, but the director not telling them where the monsters actually are. The story was okay, but unfortunately it was not true to the original story written by Jules Verne due to the inclusion of a couple of women, some giant insects, the absence of the dog and no dinosaurs.

    In the book the characters are secretly helped by Nemo and do not meet him until nearly the end of the book and then they all escape the island in the Nautilus when the volcano erupts, whereas in this mini series they meet him straight away and are then hindered by Nemo to survive as best they can, only escaping in a rowing boat while Nemo finds himself trapped in a cave. It makes me wonder if the Producers had actually read the book!

    At nearly three hours it was a bit long for me. The best I can say is that if you are a fan of 1940's B movies, you may find this humorous, but if you are looking for a thrilling adventure, look elsewhere.
