Its a thrilling movie but the CGI is bad and makes no sense. It also makes little sense to me that the female lead couldn't refuse to help the mad Ahab.

OK this is kind of underrated. I would call it a 2.4. I do not think it is that bad. But still pretty bad. This movie has an awful story line. and an awful ending. Not a 2.4 that is what Scary Movie 3 is. Still this is really what I call a 3. Moby Dick (1930) is a good movie. Moby Dick (1956) is better then this. And that is an awful movie. Moby Dick (1998) is a better movie and that is an awful movie. Do not waste your time. And do not waste your money. Do not see this movie. It is awful. This is a big pile of whale pooh. See Jaws if you want to see something really scary. This is not scary at all.

I am just glad that Herman Melville is not alive to see what they have done to his immortal tale of Ahab and his White Whale. I thought the film went over the top when they were using names like Ahab and Moby Dick, but when they added the character names of Starbuck, Queg Qheg, what really got me was the name of the submarine, U.S. S. Pequod, now that is just a little much. I am just glad that Herman Melville has been dead for over 100 years or he may come back from the grave and let us know what he thinks. At least they didn't have a character named Ishmael.Still, as bad as that is, I find the film compelling, maybe that's because I have such a craving for a stupid horror film. It's worth a watch if you don't expect too much from the film.

Ask yourself folks: A direct-to-video movie about Moby Dick starring Barry "I played George Washington once but now I'll do anything to pay for my Malibu beach house" Bostwick and Renee "I'm not lesbian but I'll let you believe I'm lesbian if it will pay for my collagen injections" O'Connor, and you're expecting Cannes Film Festival quality here? Gimme a break. It is what it is, and it's not as putrid as all the other reviewers here would have you believe. I bought it for five bucks and I'm damn glad I did.Hey, you know what? This is a bad movie. But so was "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with Brendan "I need to fire my manager NOW" Fraser, and I shelled a helluva lot more than five bucks to see that puddle of cinematic 3D puke."2010: Moby Dick" is as entertaining a bad movie as bad movies get. If you compare Barry Bostwick in this to Raymond Burr in the first "Godzilla" movie, and Renee O'Connor to, well, I guess anything Jennifer Aniston has done, including the original "Leprechaun" movie, you're on the right wavelength for "2010: Moby Dick" and you'll enjoy it just fine.It seems everyone else here would compare "Citizen Kane" to any random "Chucky" movie and that's just not fair.Bad movies need love too! Five stars from me and here's hoping Bostwick pops up in another Asylum flick soon.
