Captain Nemo never interested me as a kid. I never thought about it enough as to why I was not interested, but I decided to watch a 1969 movie today, and now I know why. Its kind of boring. All the characters have limited charisma. For a film to work you have to like & care about the characters, but the characters in this film are either empty & bland or actually unattractive in all kind of ways. It's a fairly banal story. Nothing really happening here. Certainly no Journey to the centre of the earth (original) Logan's Run or Star Wars. Chuck Connors is so suited to westerns. He destroys this film & steers it towards gun toting fight out vibes. Pass in 1969; pass on it in 2021.
