Yeah, yeah, yeah... outstanding graphics. Pretty pointless though when the script and storyline is utter garbage. Unimaginative, heard it a million times, juvenile, phrases and clichés. It was so mind-numbingly dumb, I couldn't even finish the movie.

It was filled with lots of boringly predictable subplots that were nothing but generic conflicts, They were silly, and painful to watch. Sometimes I felt like I was at a Disney ride with a hokey plot line broadcast on the overhead monitors - complete with over exaggerated acting.

Let's not ignore the abundant pandering to the fans. Did I mention that every minute of this movie was obvious and completely unimaginative?

Let's talk about the math. The means used to capture large sea creatures reminds me of the obvioydky unrealistic notion that a few helium-filled happy birthday balloons could carry away your 6 year old. It just doesn't make sense.

And back to the spectacular graphics - why was the same effort not applied did the main watercraft? It looked a LOT like an animation. It had no sense of realism, by comparison.

This movie is a pass, and I shudder to think that more sequels are on the way.
