Rick M Typical Asylum film. Somewhat entertaining, but so full of absurdities, inconsistencies and lame lines as to be beyond ridiculous. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Robert H Absolutely lame. I racked my mind to think of a movie that was worse. Couldn't think of one. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/05/23 Full Review dustin d What if Moby-Dick was set in the modern day and stripped of its homoeroticism? The result is 2010: Moby Dick. I didn't realize this was an Asylum film when I sat down to watch it. I braced myself for a terrible schlock-fest. The movie they delivered wasn't that bad. If they spent more on the special effects and better developed the characters other than Ahab, it could have actually been pretty good. I enjoyed numerous aspects of the film, such as the flashback at the beginning showing how a young Ahab had lost his leg to Moby Dick, and subtle references to the novel (the little boat used at the beginning was called The Coffin, one of the torpedoes the Pequod shoots at Moby Dick is named Fedallah). The most disappointing element of the movie was the lack of character development in every character other than Ahab. Ishmael is missing entirely (his role has been transferred to a scientist named Michelle Herman). Queequeg, Pip, Starbuck are just veneers of the beloved characters from the novel. Overall, 2010 is a little bit of dumb fun for people who loved Herman Melville's novel and have the patience for a low-budget monster movie. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Only thing good about this movie was Renée O'Connor. (The book was no better. A huge waste of time in university.)
