30,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Bad even for an Asylum feature
3 February 2019
So, another movie from the infamous Asylum. A film studio who pound out these "Mockbuster" movies that are low budget rip offs of big Hollywood titles and release them at the same time to cash in on their popularity.

For example

The Day the Earth Stood Still > The Day the Earth Stopped Pacific Rim > Atlantic Rim Aliens vs Predator > Aliens vs Hunter Snakes on a Plane > Snakes on a Train High School Musical > Sunday School Musical

You get the idea. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact they're so incredibly dire!

I'm sure I don't need to say what 30,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a "Mockbuster" of but rest assured it doesn't use much of the material. A couple of character names (One they fail to pronounce correctly) and the Nautilus and that's as far as it goes. The entire movie is an embarrassingly bad entirely original story that has nothing to do with Jules Verne's classic works.

I've been binge watching every adaptation and this is the last one, what a way to end it on an absolute bottom of the barrel low.

It looks terrible, the cast are pitiful and this actually manages to be bad even for an Asylum feature. Bad, bad, bad.

The Good:

I like the bit where it ended

The Bad:

Expectedly poorly made

Some embarrassingly bad sound balancing in places

In no way is it based on Vernes work

Dreadfully paced

Cast are less than competent
