Rating:  - Not so Mysterious Island
Many others have outlined the plot here. So I won't delve into that. As a fan of Patrick Stewart, I thought I'd give this a try. It was in the cheap DVD bin, so it wasn't a big expense. This movie is awful. I can't help but wonder if Stewart owed somebody a favor to appear in it. As pointed out, Nemo works best as a background character, but here he's front and center.

Rating: - It's fairly interesting.
The special effects are better than those of many tv shows. The acting is so so. The movie satisfies my curiosity.
It's worth watching once.
