6.75/10
A casino cruise turns into mayhem as the hundreds of guests face a crew of mercenaries consigned to sink the ship. Oh, and a giant sea monster attacks and destroys the ship leaving a rag tag group of killers (including stowaway Famke Jannsen…) to escape with their lives. There’s some outdated graphics and stylings going on but, for what it’s worth, it’s a blast. This was Stephen Sommers pre-Mummy and the adventure element is there just the same (along with Kevin J. O’Connor). Try and not be entertained by this pyromaniacal and overblown monster movie.
Loved the creature wreaking havoc on the ship along with the humor laced over the top of this scaly beast. Hated how corny it is in spots even if that is part of the charm. Again, some cgi notwithstanding, this is a fun flick. Don’t walk into it too seriously and just embrace for swells.
