Bill Murray.

I've been trying to watch this one for about a decade. I'd rent it, and something would come up and I couldn't watch it in time. I'd DL it, and that hard drive would crash. But now it's on 'flix and it felt like a Sunday morning movie so Yay! flix.

A video oceanographer at the end of his career goes on a quest for vengeance against the fish that just ate his partner.

This movie is doing a lot, and I'm not sure what the point is. It's stylistic, most things underwater are animated, to an extent. It seems to be an end-of-life story, with the old man meeting an adult son for the first time. And....

There's just a lot going on, here. I need to read someone elses astute impression of it so I can nod and agree.

I don't like Wes Anderson movies.

I tend to never watch them a second time.

This movie was terrible.

I've enjoyed 3 of his movies that I can recall. This was not one of them

I did a little googling of.old reviews, I learned it is his least popular movie, but the general consensus is that it isn't THAT bad. I don't know. I still have some of the scenes and imagery in my head, so I guess it wasn't all bad.

Some movies I completely forget I watched the next day.
