That infamous whale is bigger, badder and a whole lot stronger in this sci-fi reimagining of Herman Melville’s classic tale of the battle between man, sea and sea creature starring “Xena” alum Rene O’Connor as the (traditionally male) narrator. But the boat — now a high-tech submarine — is also bigger, and Capt. Ahab is as determined as ever to settle the score and take down the mighty sea mammal that maimed him.

Very Cool!!!
Thanks for the memories!
So much average
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
There is so much wrong with this film, there's no need to describe it. All I have to say is this: The hunt was awesome. The CGI sucked. Yet, the story was solid. I actually enjoyed this horrible movie. As an old Boatswain's Mate, Third class. 1.7 thumbs up.
After being abducted and taken aboard a futuristic submarine, a scientist and her assistant find themselves involved in the captain's mad quest of vengeance against the legendary 500-foot long whale responsible for his disfigurement and a trail of carnage along the water.Overall, this is a perfectly fine and decent creature feature, based mainly upon the fact that it really features a lot more original material than would be expected since it's based on the familiar story quite well. Being a modern-day adaptation allows for some more fun in some key areas, as there's some really entertaining and exciting underwater chases involving submarines, torpedos, traps, and such, which is something that's a lot of fun and really amps the film up considerably. The final fight in the island cove also works pretty well, but the film does suffer from the same old thing regarding the Sci-Fi Channel originals, the lame CGI that rarely matches the action presented as well as the fact that this one has a lot of extraneous subplots to stretch the running time out which are pretty silly, but the CGI is the main thing holding this down and keeping it fairly mediocre.Rated Unrated/R: Language and Violence.
I love this Trey Stokes joint!!! Herman Melville would definitely not hate this.Anytime you're recreating a classic it's important to pay attention to what the author was originally trying to say to avoid disrespecting the classic. Well ladies and gentleman, I can safely say Stokes has done it.He somehow managed to maintain the integrity of Melville's classic while at the same time putting that classic Stokes spin on it. You're going to see ol' cappin' Ahab, ya got Starbuck, Queequeg's in there. The gang's all here sailing you through the spell binding pages of the Melville masterpiece.
It seems there was no director in the movie, damn cheesy dialogs with clueless timings, 1. Way too much cliché e.g. the bad Navy/ Army officer, hot helpless female who is there just for consultation purpose but consults nothing. 2. There was no story line, mostly it's just goes from one cut to another without linking any of the previous cut. 3.Holes in Story: There were too many holes in story and depiction of characters, like two Navy officers who portray very high ranking Individuals are Disabled; & this is just one thing I mentioned there are million others in movie itself.overall this movie was a traumatic experience for me. I can't give you notes on reviews because this movie is a big hollow. It's practically any other animal chasing movie, but with a lots and lots of holes in acting, direction, CGI, & zero story. I strongly suggest to avoid this movie.
