The only reason I watched this movie was because it was listed as one of the 1980s water creature movies along with Leviathan, DeepStar 6, and The Abyss.
As the movie had such good company, I thought I was in for a good movie too. Unfortunately I was not. There couldn't be anything more dull and more contrived and just plain rotten acting demonstrated right in front of you than this movie.
Luckily the producers, or whoever is responsible for the font on the opening credits, didn't notice that the font made the words almost impossible to read, and this was probably welcomed by anyone listed in those credits, so that no one would know they were involved with this movie.
Take my advice, give this movie a wide berth. Even DeepStar 6 was actes better.

Having just tonight finished the book, I was very very happy to be able to find the mini series available. With the book very fresh in my mind, I settled down to watch episode one with high hopes. Which were pretty much fulfilled.
However, someone should've reminded the writer (whom I think is a wonderful writer and I'm a big fan of his books and TV series) or have reminded the producer, or have reminded someone, anyone, associated with this miniseries, that the character of Joy is white with blond hair! I certainly hope the remainder of the series is not filled with any more politically-correct mumbo-jumbo that seems to be jammed down our throat at every opportunity lately.

I was so looking forward to this movie I can't begin to describe how disappointed I was. As previously mentioned in other reviews it is a good thriller and action movie but definitely not a James Bond movie. When I got home I immediately put on the DVD of Spectre in order to get rid of the taste of this movie. And to make matters worse, the producers fell into the trap of political correctness and added a black female 007. I sincerely hope this is the last effort in the bond franchise.
