SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Overrated and overhyped

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Gosh, this show takes me back! I have fond memories of this show from childhood. In the summer holidays this always used to be on, under the title of 'Ocean Odyssey' if I recall correctly.It was an interesting and entertaining show, with a good central performance from the Ocean girl herself.It's a shame that this isn't repeated on TV now, because it's far better than half of the dross that kids are brought up watching today.You can pick up the DVD's online, and even now it's well worth a watch.

I must have been around 12 or so when this show aired in Portugal on a cartoon channel and I accidentally caught the first episode (how many times does that happen?). The story is intelligent, with some very intriguing plot twists and it grows with you while approaching themes like ecology, respect for life, acceptance of one another's differences, courage, friendship and love. It makes you understand that you sometimes have to rebel and break the rules if and when that is the right thing to do. It was intriguing, believable for sci-fi and the perfect 12 to 15 yo show, one that parents wouldn't object but I still didn't find boring or childish, in fact both my (then 6 year old) brother and my (obviously adult) mother got glued to it eventually and both enjoyed it their own way. If I had a child or cousin of appropriate age I would gladly re-watch it with them as this is a great show.

I remember watching this show every Monday night! I use to come home and wait for it to come on. This much I remember in the first season there was a girl named Nira that could talk to her best friend whale under water (that's also where she lived). She later befriends to teenage boys who are living in this underwater city with their mom and fellow scientists and i remember a teenage girl that lived there too and she didn't like Nira for the longest time. There was an enemy of bad scientist too who was trying to conduct experiments on the whales. In the second season i remember Nira and her friends looking for her long lost sister who had been living with adopted parents and everyone was awed because of how fast she could swim and how long she could hold her breath. I remember something in sadly the last season about a spaceship and how Nira and her sister were aliens from another planet. This t.v. show was awesome and I wish I could watch them all over again so i could understand them better....considering i was like in 3rd grade last time i saw an episode.

As a full grown adult at the time I used to watch this series on The Disney Channel on long, boring Sunday mornings when there was nothing else on TV. Occasionally I would tape episodes when there was a good discussion on the Sunday morning political shows and watch the episode later. To all of you who were children at the time and remember it, I wish to reassure you that there were many different references in the stories to things that really were more on an adult level. It wasn't all in your head. The series pretty much held up at an adult level. Unfortunately, the show was made in Australia so it didn't attract much attention in the United States. There was an underlying message of environmentalism and taking care of our planet in addition to the references to mermaids and the general remaking E.T.:The Extra Terrestrial story lines that were common in the 15 years after Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking film.The series only lasted three years. In year one we were introduced to the Ocean Girl Character. In year two, it was discovered that she had a sister who had been adopted by a human family and was then taken back to the island by the Ocean Girl. In year three, it is discovered that there is a spaceship buried under the island, inside of which is a boy who knows nothing about how things work on Earth. The boy is the key to turning on the spaceship, which sends a distress signal, that brings a ship from the Ocean Girl's home planet and takes the ocean dwelling aliens back home. As far as I know, this is how it came to an end. If there was anything more, only someone from Australia would know.
