the act ensemble here be totally waste . they walk through . i have never see a really bad performance from patrick stewart until tonight and and while it possible he be do what be ask of him the result be something between a train wreck and paint drying . the special effect be bad than can be believe in this day ( i do well on my laptop and and i be not a pro . ) . certainly not as good a harryhousen version . though certainly truer to verne book than previous version i have see and it really not worth watch for three hour and even on free tv . it might be good when edit to a 90 minute special .
