Summary:
The year is 1886 and New England's fishing harbor is the scene for a "creature of unknown origin" destroying all ships at sea. It is the job of a curious marine expert, Professor Pierre Aronnax (Patrick Dempsey from the hit TV show "Grey's Anatomy") and the iron-willed sailor, Ned Land (Bryan Brown) to learn the truth of the "monster" roaming the depths of the ocean. Their discovery begins when they encounter the reclusive Captain Nemo (Academy Award Winner Michael Caine) and learn of his surprising relationship with the terrorizing "creature" and all the other secrets lurking in the waters.

AHOY MATES
INSULT YE INTELLIGENCE !
THIS IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S 20,000 LEAGUES.
THIS IS NOT EVEN JULES VERNE'S 20,000 LEAGUES?
SEE IDEAS STOLEN FROM JULES VERNE TURNED INTO PYSHCO-BABBLE!

At this time if I were to warn the uninitated, I could only compare it to a seemingly authentic imported cigar; innocent until the first puff when a strange stink is unleashed and if one continues to puff away will undoubtedly find that it blows up IN YOUR FACE leaving both tears of laughter and utter disbelief that you
did not recognise immediatley that it was a ruse to be for the best avoided.

20000 leagues - a classic revisited

Customer Rating:

While nothing can match the Disney version of "20,000 leagues under the Sea", this movie is an interesting, and very enjoyable, re-telling.
Michael Caine as a superb Nemo and Patrick Dempsey as a young Professor Aronnox are a surprising good pairing. Ned Land as portrayed by Bryan Brown is also excellent. And Mia Sara is, as always, a vision; she takes the role invented by the writers to provide a romantic interest and makes her strong, smart and believable. Almost makes me wish Verne had added the role of Mara himself.
No, this book is not completely faithful to the book, but none of the movies really have. It is certainly a better effort than the Richard Crenna/Ben Cross version (love the actors, didn't like the directing and writing effort) made about the same time.

A Wandering Film

Customer Rating:

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea has been adapted many times for television. Some of these film interpretations have been wonderful, and others are plain trash.

Regarding THIS version (with Michael Caine, Patrick Dempsey, and Mia Sara), the greatest positive I was able to find is that the film does have some action packed moments and makes the veiwer feel sorry for Captain Nemo (and sympathize with his cause).

However, the name of the film, a captain called Nemo, a ship-sinking submarine, a professor called Arronax, a harponer named Ned Land, and a lot of angry sentiment about the world above the ocean are basically the only things the novel and this film have in common.

In short, if you want a more accurate telling of the novel, purchase the classic Disney version (starring Kirk Douglas & James Mason). However, if you do not mind being surprise with a different rising action and climax, than this 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea could be just the adaptation for you.

This is not a "classical"

Customer Rating:

I used to watch Disney's version. However, I did heard of this new one. But never got a chance to watch fully. Now I did, by borrowed from library because of what I read those reviews...

For me, it is not my type. That is because of popular novel but it wasn't classical. From what I see is more of modern... romance... Nemo wants to stop earthquake? Jules Vernes showed that Captain Nemo attacking ships for some reasons. I see very, very, very little of it in this new version.

This movie already put me to yawn level. I am sorry. Too modern like those that involves romance. Octopus wasn't attack Nautilus. Weird submarine. Did they copy part of Darth Vader/Luke Skywalker where Luke lost his hand? I am glad I didn't buy it. Just borrowed.

Truly awful	Customer Rating:
The only things this film has in common with Verne's great novel are the names of some of the characters and the submarine itself. Even Michael Caine was unable to salvage this one. Easily the worst film I have seen in years.
