Watching this was interesting, at least provided I was thinking
about not what I was watching on the screen but instead something
vaguely connected to it.

The heroes of the 19th century seem so very dated now. For
instance, Nemo, master of the technology of the time, striving to
create a “better” world while operating under the fantasy that
technology is the important differentiating factor — never reflecting
on, say, his own authoritarian attitude.

I also wondered why a team of individuals, many of whom are
immortal, would bother with this expedition. I suppose it is unfair
to expect a movie like this to try to accurately reflect the attitudes
that one might suppose an actual immortal might take.

If you actually pay attention to the film itself, though… well,
it was what I expected, but that wasn’t much. But at least there
wasn’t an invisible car.
