31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 18: 30,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA 2007 (ECHO BRIDGE)

This is a strictly by the book adventure/sci-fi tale that might entertain you.

My roommate wasn't around to watch this one so she couldn't do her Godzilla cheers and hope the big guy would show up and end everything. In reality I did that.

Sean Lawlor stars as Capt. Nemo who has become even more insane and plans on taking over the entire world. His plans include stealing a newly invented mini sub created by Lt. Michael Arronax (Lorenzo Lamas) as well as a machine that turns water into oxygen.

Nemo captures the small crew and holds them hostage in an attempt to obtain what he wants. I have to admit there was a lot of potential in this kind of a story, but the makers of the film decided to not use it I guess.

I wasn't really bored by the movie, but damn I was wishing so much more had gone on. The director was Gabriel Bologna and he is not given much to work with as well.

It's a time waster and you could do much worse, but why try. The movie makers claim this was inspired by Jules Verne's classic 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, but I can only imagine that is in name only.
