Almost Aquaman?

[Commenter 42]

Obviously not, but I just had the pleasure of reading up on this Epic disaster.

Anyone ever heard of Empires of the Deep?

considering this is the second watery adventure to cost oodles of money, and tank, is Jim Cameron in trouble with Avatar2? Is Aquaman going to suck?

Are all water movies a terrible idea?

Let's see...studio that isn't well known, actress that isn't well known, showing the name of the movie at the start rather than the end, a voice-over that isn't remotely enthused, cardboard-voiced Motivational Speech Scene character, outright using "a battle between good and evil" in the text, three quarters of the footage being from a battle sequences...oh lordy, lordy loo, this is won't do well :lol:

I can see this passing for a film student final, but man, as a full-blown movie?

Normally I can dig sea creatures being utilized in unique ways, but that doesn't totally grab me.

It was, however, made by a Chinese film company. Which should explain something.

That's kinda cool imo. The cgi needs some work. Maybe tone down the costumes. Never heard of it til now. I see it's been in post production for years. Nobody wants to take it on I guess.

I've always liked the idea of an underwater civilization.

This might help explain it a little better.

Some say this was the most expensive movie ever made in China.

Looks like the kind of movie you'd have a movie night with, but not a cinema movie.
