I like the British cast. Were they good or famous? Nope but they were British and that's good enough for me.
That's it. Bye.
No, of course not. I feel obliged to list the obvious unscientific gaffes and describe the less than cheap props or I burst.
Whoever directed this has never ever read up even one word about deep sea pressure. Yes, it's existence was mentioned when one of them clever people showed how he invented a submarine that can withstand the pressure at 37000 ft.
So far, so good. I don't mind B-movies if the story is interesting and have at least a little logic.
On the outside, that sub was very modern. Inside it was a shed. When they used that aluminium ladder I thought they were just getting to the sub, but it was the sub.
Corrugated iron walls, square walls, LED lights to make the command console look cool, some smoke, yup, just what you expect in a billion dollar/pound submarine. Oh yes, a plastic pipe, an exit sign for when you suddenly need to exit the sub, and a wobbly clap door. Hahaha.
Imagine the worst Dr. Who props. It was worse.
No but seriously. The highlight for me was the shuttle. It was bad enough that this new, technologically advanced sub had a bead curtain in one of the rooms, but the shuttle was literally plastic screens held together with gaffer tape, the kind you use to highlight stairs or pin wires to the floor with so that nobody trips.
How would that flimsy thing have withstood the pressure? Why invest so much money in a large one, when you can just have perspex and gaffer tape and it does the trick?
When the girl who looked like Mrs Brittas from Brittas' Empire was dead, they left her lying around for some minutes until Harry Potter took it upon him to give it another try and brought her back. As you do.
Machine guns were fired and nobody cared that if just one bullet would get through that the whole sub would fold like a tin can under a steamroller.
Oh I forgot, it was already leaking like mad. Yet it still withstood the pressure. Amazing feat.
My favourite were the creasy linen wings belonging to Mr. Cthulu. Please someone give him an iron, but he can't even move, only stand in one place moving his head and going Rrrraaawww!
Would I recommend this film?
Well absolutely not as a sci-fi movie or a story to be told.
You could however watch it and get a lot of amusement out of it with friends around.
I had to fast forward in the end. The best scene was the last, but even that was kind of botched.
I won't forget this in a hurry. I am still laughing.
