Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Leofwine_draca 2010: MOBY DICK is another debacle from The Asylum, posited as a kind of science fiction remake of the 19th century Herman Melville classic. As a film it's a completely worthless production, lacking the required norms of plotting, pacing, and characterisation, and coming across as completely laughable when it doesn't intend to be.Old-timer Barry Bostwick plays the Captain Ahab role, obsessed with killing the gigantic whale responsible for the loss of his leg. He's given support by the surprisingly good Renee O'Connor, previously of XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS fame; she's far too good to be in this type of movie. Elsewhere, the viewer is treated to endlessly poor CGI effects which are so bad as to be completely ridiculous, and a general lack of coherence which makes this a tough watch.

thebigziebinski So. Right off the bat...just so you know me, I love cheesy movies. I've even seen Bloodsport 4 twice and survived (it sucks vomitisly)**If you choose to watch this one, have the expectation that it is horrible- and you might enjoy it. The entire budget was $500,00..that doesn't buy much these days**This movie, 2010: Moby Dick, is cheesy, but the stripped down heart of it is a sound movie, which essentialy the original story. ...ishI loved the book and the original Gregory Peck adaptation - and this one is basically a parallel universe version, if you are into those ideals. Many main things are the same (or close enough in a parelell way); characters - Ahab, Stubb, Flask, Starbuck, Boomer(with one arm) - and they are truer to the originals. Quequeeq, Pip are modified, and Ishmael took a fabulous change lol.The main plot points are similar. Ahab loses leg/sanity, goes for revenge. Boomer loses arm, thinks Ahab is insane. Starbuck challenges Ahab's orders. The Pequod, The Rachel are there. Famous lines are quoted. So it's still accurate enough. .....But the things that are not accurate kinda put a bad taste in my mouth. The original is all about revenge on a whale that keeps to himself mostly. Will only attach when getting attacked by whalers. So it's like, yeah Ahab you are insane. This whale goes out of it's way to attack things..cruise ships, oil rigs, anything. So when Ahab goes after him, it's more for the right reasons of wanting to stop a monster, with a tinge of revenge in it. So now you want the 'monster' to lose and nutso Ahab to win. And that changes the atmosphere of it all a bit too much. And then the 'revenge plot' vs 'the right thing to do plot' does not mix for the whole main point of the plot, and kinda derails the film.(if it wasn't already)But I did like it up mostlyish kinda sorta. I also love Gremlins 2, so take it for what it's worth

swsmth-754-933750 If you like *really* bad movies, this one is for you. It's SO bad, it's like... you know..."Rig for silent running; we're headed into Russian water. Set the sonar sweep at ten second intervals!" Oh! I love it! (Spoiler!) Greenpeace wouldn't like this one because the whale gets whacked in the end.If you're the type who watched Killer Tomatoes three times and cried during Plan Nine from Outer Space, you'll *love* this movie. If not, save your money. I don't know what else to say; however, the site wants at least ten lines of text; therefore, I must blather on to the end of the line.

mikemdp Ask yourself folks: A direct-to-video movie about Moby Dick starring Barry "I played George Washington once but now I'll do anything to pay for my Malibu beach house" Bostwick and Renee "I'm not lesbian but I'll let you believe I'm lesbian if it will pay for my collagen injections" O'Connor, and you're expecting Cannes Film Festival quality here? Gimme a break. It is what it is, and it's not as putrid as all the other reviewers here would have you believe. I bought it for five bucks and I'm damn glad I did.Hey, you know what? This is a bad movie. But so was "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with Brendan "I need to fire my manager NOW" Fraser, and I shelled a helluva lot more than five bucks to see that puddle of cinematic 3D puke."2010: Moby Dick" is as entertaining a bad movie as bad movies get. If you compare Barry Bostwick in this to Raymond Burr in the first "Godzilla" movie, and Renee O'Connor to, well, I guess anything Jennifer Aniston has done, including the original "Leprechaun" movie, you're on the right wavelength for "2010: Moby Dick" and you'll enjoy it just fine.It seems everyone else here would compare "Citizen Kane" to any random "Chucky" movie and that's just not fair.Bad movies need love too! Five stars from me and here's hoping Bostwick pops up in another Asylum flick soon.
