WATCHING THIS MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS GIVING BIRTH! AND I'M A DUDE!!!


Oh my God! What a horrible film! I mean, could they at least TRY to make the characters from Civil War America look (AND SOUND!) a little less like California public school-educated stereotypes and a little more like actual period actors? And what are the chances that so many clean-shaven men from the Civil War would end up in that balloon together? What about facial hairstyles of the day? Where are the handlebar mutton chops? AND THE WOMEN!!! GOD, THE WOMEN!!! Nobody!! NOBODY brings up what would have been, in the 1860s, the g**d*mn ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!!! ONE WOMAN WEARING PANTALOONS LIKE A MAN WEARS, AND THE OTHER WEARING A SHOULDER-BARING SKIRT THAT ENDS ABOVE THE KNEE!!!
Oh, and this might offend a few politically-correct-yet-woefully-uneducated public school retards, but no black man from that time period would be so assertive in such pale company.
I see nothing but people from the 21st century in this movie! Hell, I'd believe their characters better if it was really a bunch of 21st century guys that got together and decided to punk a couple valley twits into THINKING they were from the mid 19th century -in order to get laid- by using period jargon such as "ma'am," and "ain't," and then throw the credibility cherry on top by acting confused about the word "dude!"
And of course! The creators make Captain Nemo into a WHITE GUY AGAIN!!! CAPTAIN NEMO WAS FROM INDIA, YOU ILLITERATE MORONS!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO PISS IN YOUR GAS TANK FOR NOT BOTHERING TO ACTUALLY READ THE JULES VERNE NOVEL!!!
Now I'm worried this movie gave me AIDS!!
