The second specially edited memorial episode featuring Jean’s narration. This is a breath-taking sea adventure action animation. The story centers on a series of critical battles by the indestructible submarine, Nautilus and the conflict between Captain Nemo and the Gargoyle. It’s a shorter, more streamlined version of Nadia called "The Nautilus Story", which all but eliminates the filler arc and concentrates on the struggle between Nemo and Gargoyle. Some scenes in the more pivotal episodes are cut as well. The compilation series was made by Hideaki Anno, who was said to have been dissatisfied with the final result of the TV show. The Nautilus Story was only released in Japan on VHS and laserdisc.

Great Film overall
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
