Rafael Neville Actually I could have given this movie a very high rating, given, it makes you laugh a lot, it's so badly done and everything is so fake, you actually laugh at all this. And that might deserve a higher rating.The very story on it's own is clearly the outcome of a combination of wrongly mixed drugs.Various stories run along the main plot. But first things first, the basics: A submarine time-machine that runs on diamonds, travels to the past to stop a drilling rig of inducing a worldwide cataclysm by perforating the mantle and destabilizing the pressure, making everything go kaboom.The movie starts with a diamond theft in the future where apparently all cars are exactly the same as in the 70's. The diamond burglars manage to get away from the police that followed them in an Ice- cream van or something alike, very shabby indeed. I never knew those vans where more powerful than police cars. Anyway, they just reach the beach and enter the sea and keep on swimming until they reach the submarine. This is when the movie starts for real! Well, so they say...The main character is like a fusion of MacGyver and Michael Knight. He is introduced rescuing a kidnapped guy, killing the first batch on the main floor with guns, and later on, on the first floor with a crossbow and a pen as an arrow, apparently because he doesn't want to be heard (surely the mass shooting downstairs went unnoticed to the ears of the kidnappers).The eco-terrorists have clearly no budget and have to assault the rig in a small Zodiak. Apparently they spent it all on the guns. Magic guns BTW that kill before even shooting, as can be seen when they enter the room full of machines with flashing buttons and pseudo-scientists that have been told to move their hands and touch buttons to appear more professional and scientific. Of the Nautilus crew assaulting the rig, I wont talk, that must be seen by itself.Not to forget the overtly sassy footage of a NASA rocket that now is a missile that intercepts F-18's.

wgg-1 Richard Norton proves again in "Nautilus" that he ranks among the top actors in action movies. He plays a mercenary with a sense of humor, first introduced in the corridors of a seedy South American hotel as he darts the fists and the gunfire of his adversaries. The scene is played effectively with a contemporary Indiana Jones tone, and it's a swift intro to the more expansive adventure that follows. Norton's mercenary gets hired to head security on an oceanic rig that tracks a mysterious vessel on its radar. The vessel is a time-traveling sub that returns to circa 2000 to stop a global environmental collapse and to inform the rig's well-meaning scientist (Hannes Jaenecke) about the dangers of his actions to the future. "Nautilus" is fast-paced, diverting fun, and with an enjoyable "wink" to his audience, Norton takes his fans on an a cruise that's consistently a cool ride. "Nautilus" is a must-have DVD for Sci Fi devotees and action fans.

ceejay-7 Made for very little money, NAUTILUS is actually a fun science-fiction film combining elements from 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, CRACK IN THE WORLD and DIE HARD. On the level of a Roger Corman styled flick, the film has impressive productions values and some very nice miniature work. Richard Norton of the Jackie Chan films is a good, athletic hero and as a middle of the week video rental, this flick delivers the goods in an unpretentious way.

Chas Lane "Crack in the World" meets "Back to the Future". An appallingly bad movie, I dare anyone else to see it to the end. I did, but I can't remember what happens. There is one interesting scene where a scientist sees himself commit suicide in the future. Don't think I've seen that before!
