      It's less that people didn't like it. It's more that the movie had an insanely high budget which the boxoffice couldn't match at the time, even if people loved it, hence it was called a flop, then people steered away from it and VHS sales couldn't save it either. The movie was fine for sure. Not perfect, but good fun.

    When you listen to the model makers talking they are so modest in their achievements but it takes great imagination and skill together with experience to produce these models so realistically.

    It is sad that the submerged cities had so little screen time. They did a good job. Like always.
    This is an underrated film.
    Despite the scientific inaccuracy of the excess water coming from the melting of the poles. Other films have worse scientific inaccuracy and no one complains.

    I lived on the Big Island when they were filming that off of Kawaihai. When I was transferred to the Mainland, my going away party was on a Red Sail catamaran and we circled the atoll while they filmed the atoll battle scene. I could tell stories for days about the talent and the crap that happened during the filming.
