After 12 years how disappointing. Should have just made it the year after the difference in effects wasn't worth the wait. Plot was bad and felt like he could have made the movie 2 hours. I loved the first movie and this felt like a tv version. Effects were wonderful and so was the underwater world but story was long and drawn out considering not much happened. Can't complain too much that some of it felt more like a nature documentary then a science fiction. I saw the original a few times in the theatres and I feel like it wasn't even worth going to the theatres but no shows worth seeing since 2019.
