So much average

Did you people see the same film I saw?

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I feel the need to justify myself by saying that there was absolutely nothing on and found myself watching the SyFy channel . I wasn't expecting because we are talking about the SyFy Channel and was intrigued by SEA GHOST ( That's the title it was broadcast under ) and if I didn't like it I could always share my opinion on it with my faceless peers on IMDb . Unfortunately if I'd visited this page before seeing this dreadful piece of excrement I might have saved myself two hours of my life that I will never get back The bizarre thing is that SEA GHOST gets off to ... well I won't use the word " good " but it does seduce the audience in to thinking it might be better than it really is as the early scenes features a group of scientists examining some alien DNA they've found under the ocean surface . Suddenly the DNA comes to life and attacks the scientists . I say DNA but perhaps CGI would be a better expression since it's obvious how the effect is achieved . SEA GHOST contains perhaps the worse CGI I've ever seen in a film and I've seen a lot of movies on the SyFy Channel and this goes way beyond bad as an alien tentacle resembles something out of a kids cartoon . Things get even worse as it's revealed that the cartoonish CGI is only the second worst thing about the movie What really makes SEA GHOST stick out from its mediocre fellows is the lack of a focused storytelling genre. I thought I'd be watching the tried and trusted formula of a CGI monster chasing scientists around a ship but this isn't how it plays out . The scientists are killed off and new characters are brought in to carry the story . As the story continues there's scenes that belong in a totally different film . We get some soft porn , a Western sequence complete with the man with no name and an action scene set in Iraq . This is explained by a character stating something along the lines of " The alien must be able to read our thoughts and give us intense hallucinations " SEA GHOST is a film that gives the audience the impression that it's being written as it's going along . One is left perplex at the number of scenes that feel as if they've wandered in from a different genre never mind a different film . One wonders if the often laughable and inept CGI is either a symptom or the cause for the way the narrative constantly changes structure

A creature, found inside a meteor that was buried deep near the earth's core as an oil rig was digging for a new energy source, escapes from a canister housing it. It's tentacles spring forth to enter the victim's body erasing their identity and taking control. The thing can also telepathically read your thoughts if an individual gets too close causing hallucinations as a means of drawing victims near. It's up to Capt. Jack Griffin(soap opera vet Billy Warlock)and his minor ship crew to find out if anyone on the oil rig is still alive and can inform them on how to stop the alien force before it consumes everyone.Clichéd flick is your basic rip-off of John Carpenter's THE THING and INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. This perhaps could've been more fun if Jim Wynorski had found a good make-up effects designer instead of opting to go with the horrible, putrid computer effects instead(they are so cartoonish they elicit laughter instead of terror). As a creature feature this film flunks because it doesn't have an original bone in it's body or a creative leg to stand on. Warlock is fun as the hero, but the other characters are rather boring. Destined to find it's true home on the Sci-fi Channel where these kind of dreadful flicks, with terrible cheap effects, can live and breathe.

One of the most horrible movies I've ever seen, if not the single most horrible. I have no idea why it was made.The plot, possibly the best part of the film, was awful. It switched on and off between two extremes: either it was bizarre and confusing, or it was dull and predictable.The acting would have made William Shatner sick to his stomach. The dialogue was written trite and cliché, and the delivery certainly didn't help. It was all strained, and in the rare case where there was emotion in a line, it was fake-sounding, and sometimes even the wrong emotion. It seemed like they were reading lines off the script for the first time. And the directing was just as bad. None of the motions that anybody made were natural-looking. Just a tip for the 'actors' in this film: if the camera is moving to try to (poorly) replicate the feel of a tossing boat, it's best not to just stand still, but to actually be tossed around. Especially if there's one actor who's moving around (albeit awkwardly) as if he's being tossed by the boat in the same room with you, at the same time that you're standing still! And the CGI was horrible. 'Nuff said there.

This movie and its twin Deep Evil (2004) (TV) are painful to watch.I won't go into too much detail or reiterate what others have written. I did watch the whole thing but my excuse is that I was watching this in the background while on the computer.I kept on having deja vu while this played and I just could not put my finger on it - cheesy CGI, less than enthusiastic acting, and some other details.The overall idea, some of the effects, scenery, bio-hazard outfits, black eyeballs, and "lumpy" skin all looked too familiar - I looked up the cast and crew for this movie and Ah ha! I had seen Deep Evil (2004) recently. They share so much: plot, effects, and one of the writers. Who knows maybe some of the footage got mixed up on the cutting room floor? Don't bother with the movie. Watch paint dry. (Or watch both movies and compare, for fun!)
