Mermaids - Landgang mit Folgen

I'll admit I didn't actually watch this movie from the beginning, I only caught the end. However, in that time, myself and my friend definitely noted at least 5 instances where this "film" could have shifted into one of those 1 am shows on Cinemax. Honestly the transition would have been seamless. Starting from the scene in the prison to the end of the movie with the delivery boy, sexual innuendo abounded. Add to that the cheesy dialogue, mediocre special effects, and paper-thin plot and you have the makings of a fairly good skin flick. Seriously all that was missing was some steamy scenes and a pizza guy.

"Mermaids" is an entertaining fantasy story that explores the interaction of human nature with that of intelligent nature(the mermaids). This was noteworthy to observe the mermaids wanting to explore the experience of being human, yet the mermaids set a better example of what being human should be. The mermaids were compassionate, loving, intelligent beings. Humans still have much to learn. The three main characters'(the mermaids)personalities contrast well being supported by each having a separate, unique talent. Such as, Venus being able to hypnotize men into doing what ever she wanted. The movie has a good storyline, and that's what makes for a good story.

I really liked this movie, I wasn't sure if I would at the beginning but I kept it on the channel and watched it all the way through. It's about 3 mermaid sisters, one of them lives on land, one visits from time to time, and one that hates the land. See these mermaids can get legs when they come ashore, but their fin reshows anytime they get wet. They all three also have special 'powers' so it's kind of like 'Charmed' but with mermaids. The one that hates the land comes ashore because their father has been killed by a fisherman and she wants revenge, but needs her sisters help. I would recommend watching it if you ever see it on and like that sort of thing. =)

I had the opportunity to watch this movie one night on PAX tv. It is about three mermaid sisters who are looking for revenge on the fisherman who murdered their father. One of the sisters lives on land, the other comes up every now and then for a "good time" and the third has never set foot on the ground before and hates all human beings. This provides some extra conflict when deciding what to do about the fisherman, which I have to admit really helped the story along. There are several subplots of sibling rivalry, romance, etc. some of which probably could have been left out. The special effects really were not bad for a low budge-made for tv movie. They also explore a lot of old mermaid lore, which was pretty interesting. All in all it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If you liked the movie "Splash" I would give this one a chance. Who knows; you might get HOOKED. LOL

While fishing offshore, the ambitious fisherman Mallick (Sean Taylor) uses explosives and a machine gun and kills the father of three gorgeous mermaid sisters. Diana (Erika Heynatz), the oldest and strongest one, lived with her father and has a powerful trident weapon which becomes a type of hair clip and decides to look for her sisters to chase the killer. June (Sarah Laine) lives in a boat, has a magic mirror, works at the local aquarium and has a crush on the Coast Guard officer Randy (Daniel Frederiksen). Venus (Nikita Ager) has the power of seducing men, has a magic tiara and works as an aquatic dancer in a coastal bar. Together, the three sisters try to find a way to bring justice to the death of their father. 'Mermaids' is one of those movies quite silly, but delightful to be seen. The story, full of magic and fantasy, is delicious. The gorgeous cast is a collyrium for the men eyes. The locations are wonderful. 'Mermaids' is a great entertainment for the whole family. My vote is seven.
