"The Asylum" - The name of the Production company says it all really. This is up to their usual standard (ie - not very high). The biggest problem of course is their lack of funding, so when CGI is a must they can't come up with the goods. Frankly "Moby Dick" is a CGI disaster, particularly in the ridiculous 15' climax which beggars belief in it's stupidity. There are no "stars" as such - Barry Bostwick is way better than the material he has (or in truth, doesn't have), and Renee O'Connor is just, well, let's just say "miscast". (Secretly-I was curious to see what she looked like after "Xena", and, yes she is 12 years older, but still looks OK and is worthy of a better part.) I have to say there are some quite effective shock moments, particularly in the first 45' or so and I almost had high hopes, but they were sadly dashed. Dialogue daft, SFX poor, but if you have a few quid to spend and some beer/wine/whatever, and aren't too particular there are bits to enjoy, hence 3 stars, but only just, and you won't want to watch it over and over.

well iv never seen such an cool but boring film in my life.
I fort this film was amazing but when iv looked at the intro i fort yeah ok I will get it.
so when i got it iv watch it all the way and the film was cool as i really loved where one man will do anything to get his revenge on something that big but if that was me I wounder Do the same thing but Try and find a way to become friends with it :P but come on why would you not try become friends something that big :)
The sounds where really awesome and why would you use Torpedo's to attack something that big that's hard and not easy to Kill but at least they have try'ed there dam best to find a way to stop it.
the Poor thing about the film is the ending you know they attack it but how do we know if they Killed it or is it still alive Really they so need to think of making a better ending for this film or make a better film in the same name but call it something like
The revenge of Moby dick 2

Whilst it's certainly not the worst straight-to-syfy-channel movie I've seen, Moby Dick 2010 still suffers from the usual rather cardboard acting and downright dodgy CGI that blights most of these movies.
Updating the Moby Dick tale had potential I suppose, but they made this whale so ridiculously gigantic that any semblance of reality flies out the porthole the first time you set eyes on the great mass of blubber. If it wasn't for the ever-gorgeous Renée O'Connor (who still looks as hot as she did in Xena!), I would probably have rated this a lone-star movie.
Disengage brain, get a few beers in and Renee O'Connor in some skimpy swimwear (and a big whale) may just about hold your interest for 90 minutes!
