Editorial Reviews

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.

disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2018

Verified Purchase

There was a lot of potential here, but the movie missed the mark. First, the positives: period scenes showing how the young professor Aronax ended-up going to sea in search of the "monster" are well-done. However, the movie adds a love-interest between him and his stepmother that seems unnecessary. Undersea scenes are quite spectacular, and that is a big draw in this story. Negatives: two other love-interests are later added to the storyline, once the three men (Aronax, his assistant, and Land) are aboard the Nautilus. Such digression from the book seems unnecessary and unfulfilling. For the climax of the movie, two major events are combined into one scene. In my opinion, they should have remained separate events, as in the book. And finally: the acting. Excepting Michael Caine, pretty terrible.

Modified story, but still good

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017

As others have said, this isn't a faithful reproduction of the book. Purists will never like anything but a copy of the book, or something closer to the movie they saw as kids. It's the same with songs that have been remade by newer artists. A lot of people will only ever like the original, or the version of the song they heard first and came to believe is the best version. This movie is still good and tells it's own story while using enough parts of the original to make the connection to the book. And lets face it, while many people read books, I think there are more people who have not read the book than have. So they will never know the difference. If this movie had followed the book, 1/3rd of the movie would have been a National Geographic documentary of plant and animal life of the oceans. So, I'm fine with the path they took.

Political correctness raises its ugly head with a race-switching of Ned Land into an African American slave so the film makers can virtue signal. Disappointing CGI effects are surprisingly inept for a production I thought would have been a bit more "epic". Movie feels overly long, yet, somehow, the final act is abrupt, as if they realized they were about to run out of time and had to wrap it all up fast. I'd stick to the James Mason version, but, I do recommend this for Michael Caine fans as he gives a decent, somewhat restrained performance, hence, the second star.

Call me crazy but i liked this adapation.

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

The Kirk Douglass adaption from 1954 will always be my favorite adaption of the classic novel. It had the perfect cast, story line but the one problem with that one was to an extent it followed the novel and changed the novel around the movie with a cold war feeling set back in the 1866. Now i do not have a problem with that there were certain elements i liked changed with the original movie, and made the movie well! But in 1997 it was decided the movie would be remade for television, one for CBS and one for ABC. I didn't like the CBS one with Ben Cross, but it did follow the novel like the original movie to an extent. Like the other two versions this one had more points of the novel in the movie but at the same time it didn't. The movie starts out with Pierre Arronax played by Patrick Dempsey saying he thinks a giant narwal is whats been attacking ships, using the same text from the novel to tell his fathers peers his father mocks him out and he is made a joke. But the cunard line with the US government wants to hunt the beast, and with him, a guy he befriended on the train who was African American, and Ned Land they go to hunt the monster only to find out it isn't a monster. Now this movie has the volcano sequence from the novel, the south pole sequence, Brings up his Indian background, the girl they help, and Atlantis,thou different from the novel a lot of Nemos dialogue from the novel. It does have a lot of stuff written for it. It tries to bring in the issue with slavery, Ned Land is made his character from the novel who wants freedom at whatever the cost, Nemo is brutal to his guests, and he is also part robot. Now however i liked these changes, i also liked how it told the prospective from the US government trying to hunt the beast, i thought these scenes MADE this special. It depends on how much you like the novel or the movie back from the 1950s but either way i liked all three the 1954, the novel and this adaption from 1997. If you want something completely faithful to the novel, theirs the cartoon versions from the 1980s and there was one from nickelodeon from 2002 that was faithful other then having a lead female character in it, like this adaptation.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

A deep ocean of dangerous destinations & sinister situations woven together in this superb version of a timeless classic adventure. Mark Snows score adds dimentions of soaring symphonies & thundering, pulsating predicaments caught in a sea net of subterranean shifts & sea floor volcanic vindications. An enjoyable & well crafted yarn!

Love this Movie, so glad I got the DVD.

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013

I remember watching this movie on TV and thought it was the best adaptation of Jules Verne's twenty thousand leagues under the sea. It took me forever to find a DVD copy (my VCR ate my last copy) and it was wonderful to watch this exciting tale of adventure and romance. Its also awesome to see some of the star in this movie, how they were basically no bodies but now are quite well known (ex Patrick Dempsey) I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves the classics and to a love of Jules Verne as well.

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2016

I grew up on James Mason's portrayal of Captain Nemo in the Disney version. I never thought it would ever be bested and for many it never will. But Michael Caine was fantastic as was the entire cast. this is a much longer telling then the Disney film but I never once looked at a clock. I was thrilled the film far exceeded my expectations. it is a treasure

A Surprise!

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2011

Verified Purchase

I did not know what to expect when I purchased this. It is surprisingly good. Caine doesn't look Indian, but still makes a plausible and somewhat menacing Nemo. I could have done without the romantic subplots and the abusive father, but all in all it is better than many of the other miniseries I've seen of classics...see Hallmark's "Mysterious Island" and "Jason and the Argonauts." Well worth the purchase if you don't spend a lot.

Futuristic adventure film

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

I Purchased this story because it was ahead of its time when written by Jules Verne and as I have the version with James Mason in the lead role I was interested to see if the Michael Caine version was any better. The story line stays close to the original but for a more futuristic Nautilus and the introduction of Capt Nemo`s daughter played by Mia Sara,a competent actress,I thought my NTSC DVD Player would read the disc alright but it did pause a few times at the exciting part towards the end.In conclusion I thought it very good and enjoyed this re-make of Jules Vernes Classic.
