Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProducer Sandy Howard consulted a large number of marine biologists, oceanographers, and ichthyologists two years prior to taking the script into production.
- GoofsThe depth of the sea lab changes. After the earthquake Capt. Williams reports to Halifax the lab was at less than 250 feet. During the briefing with Commander Blake Dr. Andrews says the seamount was at 120 meters, which is just over 390 feet. This depth is confirmed when Blake reports he is holding the Neptune above the lab site at 100 meters.

Featured review
I think I saw a goldfish...
Wow, an underwater film shot completely on location - at the bottom of the production designers' fishtank! This action-drama basically involves about 80 minutes of the main characters staring out of their mini-sub's windshield/projection screen with awestruck expressions at... grainily blown up shots of common acquarium fish. The "model shots" (a generous naming) actually DO look to have been shot in a common home aquarium, complete with plastic ferns and oversize gravel. The stretch is so great, the disparity so big, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I think in the end I simply gave up and decided to vomit. Not sure how Walter Pidgeon took a wrong turn into this turkey, but it is worth noting that about half the cast of "The Black Hole" is featured here - doubtless in a dry run for their performances in that later classic...
