This is supposed to be a Children's movie, well I wouldn't let a child watch this, bad script, very bad acting fills this movie. Jim Henson's creature shop was used for the creature Mee-Shee, which was a travesty to the work they have done previously.
The adults are condescending to the children constantly and they do not act as adult would towards children in their care. Mac's father, the man in-charge of recovering the drill bit, just leaves his son in the care of a bad impression of Mrs. Doubtfire who tries extolling the same platitudes. Also the D.F.E.A agent ( Canadian Evironmental Officer) takes the two kids to where they saw Mee-Shee and then just leaves the boy to fend for himself while taking Pawnee with her.
The script is very weak. The lines written for children are limited and not very deep. Also several actors can not pronounce the movie/creature's name and say Mishee or even mitchee, both children and adult actors seem to have this problem.
There is a fight between Mac's father and one of the villains, I've seen two year old children fight better then this their punches are so choreographed it's as if they used string to show where they should land them.
All around if I were anyone connected with this movie I would have asked my name be removed from it. The script is bad and many things happen that do not make sense, people allowed to use machinery they have no experience with, a million dollar sub guarded by a man as old as Moses, the villain's sub is worth more than the the "good guys" sub yet the villain's partner is bewildered by equipment on the sub.
An interesting point in this movie is the boy has a baseball cap that must be glued on with super glue. He falls down cliff holes, lands in water (twice) yet the cap never falls off or is lost. I said it was an interesting point, it should be said it's the only point.
I would not waste your time or your children's time in watching this bad move. The native girl is given the name Pawnee which is racially offensive. At the end of the movie it teaches the that it is good to lie about something.
