the movie have almost nothing in common with jules verne novel . for example and for some strange reason the script writer depict pencroff a a foolish bard . also leave behind a wounded blake ( tom mison ) destroy the spirit of verne novel . a lot of charm detail from the novel lose in the movie and be replace with giant bug and other crap . actor play be very bad include patrick stewart . his character ( captain nemo ) look absolutely unconvincing and pitiful . look like this time patrick only wish to visit thailand and he be not really interested in quality . maybe and he could do it in a cheap way just purchase a tour . so the viewer would not be mislead by his name in the cast .
