They could have done so much more with this concept, it's really obvious though that they couldn't be bothered to make you know an actual movie out of the basic plot elements and instead went with this part docu-drama style 77 minute time-waster for 8 year old boys in the early 60s.
Despite how boring this film was even with its short run-time I feel it would have benefitted hugely from being 20-25 minutes longer and you know having an actual human storyline and characters we actually cared about!
The worst scene is when "cowboy" goes out and gets drunk on whiskey he finds in a nearby shipwreck {that he was actually searching for in the first place} and then doesn't get eaten or even attacked by the Giant Octopus they spend about 5 minutes showing you at the other end of the ship!
