This movie cannot be graded on a normal scale. This movie exists out of the bounds of reality. This is a movie where George C Scott dances romantically with a dolphin in the first 15 minutes and that is not even a top five most insane thing. Incredible experience.

I’m procrastinating my paper on the Navy’s Marine Mammal program by calling this “research”

You can’t give the movie a tagline like that and have it be as utterly boring as this movie was. This movie took itself way too seriously and for what? I know it’s based off a book so maybe they were trying to stay close to the source material but did we really have to forsake any entertainment value? These dolphins had bombs strapped to their heads and I could not have been more bored.
