Josh G 10/05/2023 Trying to do so much with an average runtime. The film follows multiple books and rushing any character development and plot till it seems more like a clip show show than film. Nemo's back story is super weird don't get it. See more Dustin D 03/07/2023 The silent version of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is janky and melodramatic. The non-underwater shots are mostly uninteresting and badly captured. However, it was a special effects extravaganza of its day, and brought the state of the art a step forward. See more 01/16/2017 I guess you can call this the first Michael Bay film. 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea was the second adaptation of the Jules Vernes novel, it features iconic mariner costumes. The story telling was a mess however, but the special effect was impressive considering the budget. It's not the most interesting films but deserves cinematic recognition.

See more 08/01/2010 This technological masterpiece for its time suffers in a poor script, acting and direction. This may be the first film of underwater photography which was done through a system of mirrors and prisms as people were photographed in those heavy clumsy underwater diving suits accompanied with astonishing scenes of coral reef sea life. See this film for just that alone. See more 07/11/2010 Although it's a great Victorian nautical science fiction epic it's not as great as the 1954 Disney version...but the experience of seeing it on the big screen with fantastic live music by Stephin Merritt would be a 5 star one.
