a very mediocre adaption of jules verne indeed and even if it appear to include bit from every story verne ever write . although obviously enjoy the thai sunshine and the cast do little to help the inane script along . patrick stewart valiantly try and but sadly look an arabian dress up party a the sinister captain nemo and kyle maclachlan do his usual twin peak wooden routine and while the pirate captain give a terrible impersonation of robert newton long john silver . add to this some dismal animation of huge bug and spider and snake and bird that look like they be make of plastic and escape from an insect spray commercial . the scale be awkward to say the best of it and the original king kong have smooth animation than this lot . we deserve much good after 70 year and digital technology . verne seem to adapt best to the screen with some spielberg like tongue in cheek attitude and which be sadly lack in this film . the whole thing plod along to it obvious conclusion and without any credit to anyone involve . main mystery be why they make it and but possibly inspire by the success of the tv series lose .
