The Neptune Factor (1973)
Director: Daniel Petrie
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An extremely half-hearted attempt to make an undersea 2001 and a film of monumental dullness. Leaden submarine sequences that are too slow to be funny finally begin to alternate, about an hour into the film, with unconvincing blow-ups of harmlessly attractive goldfish, anemones, sea eels and so forth, all supposedly deadly creatures ready to destroy the craft at a single wrong move from her crew. One to avoid.Author:
