5.0 out of 5 stars great version of "20,000 Leauges Under the Sea"
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2005

This version of "20,000 Leauges Under the Sea" is very inventive. Almost like a totally new story based on Jules Verne's book. I personally love this version too. It's creative and so enjoyable to watch. I love the action and struggle between good and evil. The quest to try to be close to perfect, caring and understanding too all creation. It has some great themes. I also love how they added the romance between Professor Arronax's daughter and Captain Nemo and Ned Land. It's very sweet and endearing. Captain Nemo is very romantic in this version and more caring. But there's also penty of the original story in it, the main theme is there for freedom and trying to fight humanities injustice's to each other and create a better understanding and more compassionare world. The scene were Ned fights the sea monster is neat. I recommend this movie to all ages. It's am adventure and an exciting film.

I'd also highly recommend the 1950's film with James Mason and Kirk Douglas. The Disney version.

4.0 out of 5 stars 20,000 Leagues Reimagined
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2013

Following in the footsteps of every Jules Verne Remake of this Timeless Classic comes the Hallmark Channel's retelling of Captain Nemo! Ben Cross gives a fine performance as Nemo, however the actual Highlight of the Sea Creature is very poor compared to any other version. The effect is much like an old Godzilla Movie. But hey, the TV Movie has wonderful underwater scenes, no nudity or language to really speak of and for the price? Worth adding to your Nemo Collection. Just have fun and lose yourself upon the Nautilus one more time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent

20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is a visually superb film from 1997.

The story features just four main characters (mainly) - Captain Nemo (Ben Cross - amazing performance throughout, the character's endurance is portrayed superbly), Sophie (Julie Cox - always an amazing performance), the Captain's love interest who is the primary goal of both him & Ned (Paul Gross, playing a wild fisherman) along with Sophie's father, Professor Aronnax (Richard Crenna, playing a marine biologist). The film is an adaptation of the book and though I have not read it - this MADE me want to actually read it someday.
The film has subtle humor, is shot magnificently; the sets & wardrobe - perfect.

Watch this.

I purchased this DVD for a gift and the young man was thrilled with it. I received it in the time that was specified and was a new copy and I really appreciated that. The vender was one of the best that I have ordered items from and would order from them again. Amazon is always the one to go to whenever you are searching for something. It doesn't make a difference what the item is.

I bought this for a 7 and 8 year old and they love it. It has age-appropriate adventure, some gross stuff and catchy songs. They watch it over and over. The other two videos in this Crayola series are Gulliver's Travels and Trojan Horse. All the parts are played by children. I would love to see this reissued on DVD. It's very good quality.

Ben Cross is a great Nemo. The addition of the girl was ok, but the plot was predictable. I loved the effects of the Nautilus. I also liked that Nemo did not die in the end. Richard C. was great as the professor. Ned. Land was good too. All in all good movie

5.0 out of 5 stars A different take, but an excellent film!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2011

There have been several film versions of 20,000 Leagues under the sea, this one along with the Walt Disney Classic I found to be the best.

This 1996 Film version was made for TV. The acting, sets were really great. The underwater sequence with the sharks was thrilling.

Watch out for Paul Gross (Due South) who plays 'Ned' in this film. Paul Gross's take on Ned was great. There's no Giant Squid in this version, but some other sea 'monster' creature that attacks Captain Nemo's submarine, with great effect.

The Walt Disney Version is a classic, however if you watch this film as an independant entity, this 1996 version is an enjoyable feature.

The DVD itself has the original picture 4:3 format and sound is in digital stereo.

Well worth a look at for this very low cost Region One DVD.

I can't say I was enamoured of anyone's accent - not great, but I happen to think Ben Cross is a great actor (his accent was genuine). I enjoyed the movie only because of his being in it (how's that for "fan loyalty"?.

The film is definitely-low budget, but I don't see why so many people hate it. It's less corny than Caine's version (whale welfare, native girl in a miniskirt, pretty single daughter on a ship full of men and Aronnax's corny pick-up lines), but the Disney version is still the best. The monster is pretty bad CGI and common sense tells you not to step into the mouth. Julie doesn't even remotely look or act like a man. But I love how they added female workers and showed how people prepared food. Nemo was polite and educated, as in all versions, but also more manipulative and pushy.
