when several ship be attack at sea by what appear to be a great whale and the navy asks professor aronnax for assistance in investigate the event . but the adventure be just start for the professor and his daughter and harpooner ned land when they be wash overboard and pick up by the mysterious and sinister captain nemo in a futuristic submarine . base on the jules verne novel by the same name and the movie then tell of further adventure on board the nautilus and and of a romance not include in the book . this movie be a disappointment in many respect . while i be impress by the nautilus and which look just like a picture i remember from the book in my childhood and and some of the set and scenery and the movie a a whole be not spectacular . i find that the acting be mediocre and and be annoy by the romance triangle . the dialog be also okay and but not wonderful . although there be nothing terrible about the movie and there be nothing really good about it either and and i guess that be what stay in my mind . compare to other adaptation of jules verne work and this one be a disappointment and but might be worth watch once if there be nothing else on television .
