i be sure that any legitimate submariner would happily ship out on the usos seaview ( yes and sos . ) why and you could play full court basketball in the torpedo room and it so large . and how bout the bay windows in the bow and the good to see giant squid or minefield that appear out of nowhere . do i mention the colorful mess cook with the parrot on his shoulder . and the admiral stateroom with what appear to be a loft . big bleeping sub . ok and ok. it never gon na win any prize for authenticity . and if the sub be laughable and the plot be even bad . somehow the van allen belt of radiation and hundred of mile in space and have catch fire be go to make global warm look like a weenie roast . pompous admiral nelson ( walter pidgeon ) and along with his sidekick lucius ( peter lorre and look suitably uncomfortable ) hatch a scheme to put out the fire by fire a missile into it midst . there plenty of intrigue ( sic ) along the way and with a born again survivor ( and his little dog and too . ) two dame who can never leave well enough alone and a passel of red shirt who be expendable and and plot hole big enough for godzilla to walk through . thrill to the seaview be chase at what look like 60 mile per hour by another sub no need for advanced sonar when you can follow from 100 foot astern . the movie careen from one cliff hanger to another while the payoff be so anticlimactic a to be pointless and certainly not worth the 1 hour and 50 minute wait . the technical adviser for this shipwreck must have be a 14 year old boy with a stack of popular mechanic magazine . worth watching and if only to riff upon .
