Deep ocean ???, 11 October 2006
2/10
Author: raspetienne from Canada

How come it is so bright in the deep ocean ? Did anybody in this movie went to high school to maybe put a little comment ? We built the nuclear bomb and walked on the moon at this time, I am sure some people did suggest a little bit of reality in this. Also the rest of the special effect, it is really taking people for kids ! They only filmed the "fishies" closer to make it look big. Is there one person in this world who would actually buy this ??? Come on, this is laziness from the director and its taking people for idiots... Imagine the producers when they saw the final product of the movie: - You really got me there, I really thought they were big fishes (in a very sarcastic way) Bottom line, the special effect completely ruined the potential of the movie for the year 1973.
