5/10 The script could have been computer-generated.

Rating: 5/10 (9 November 2004)

This film was an expensive exercise in mediocrity. I laughed a bit, but not much.
Script: Did this movie actually have a human writer? I'm debating that. The script was so formula that it seemed it could have been written by a computer. Perhaps there are computers named "Rob Letterman" and "Damian Shannon" out there somewhere pumping out the next "Hippo Story".
Characters: Why did they animate this movie at all? Really, it could have been produced with humans on dry land and it would have been the same. The fact that they were aquatic beings gave nothing to the film because every character was made to appear and move as much like a human as possible. So what's the point? At least in Finding Nemo, they were actually fish that behaved like fish. Worse than this though was the inclusion of human culture, the same blunder as Star Wars Episode 1. Absurd.
Voices: Yep, they did a good job. Who cares.
