i do not know what people have against this movie . okay and so some of the special effect aren not great and but to be honest i prefer film like this which have interest plot and solid character and imaginative scenery to the kind of effect dependent trash hollywood be currently churn out without care or interest . the story involve scientist intend to explore under the ocean with the use of a diving bell . however and after they find a gold statue they and together with most of the crew of their ship and be abduct by a giant octopus and take to the lose undersea world of atlantis . this be a classic and highly entertaining film with good performance from the cast and atmospheric setting with appropriately haunt music .
