Primitive Special Effects!!

[elo-equipamentos · 6/10 · 7 June 2017]

The last episode of the first season all Seaquest's crew are in ground waiting for a decision of disband the whole project, meanwhile Dr Wolenczac start up a underwater power plant to provide a clean energy to entire world, suddenly the plate under the plant cracked into a river of lava, so all Seaquest's crew has to running to try saves the members of the plant including this important scientist who is the real Lucas's father, then Captain Nathan has a heroic act trying to save the rescue operation, but like always he escape in last few seconds, Spielberg does it all the time, the primitive special effects spoils the episode, probable the last episode that l've seen because the second and third season never came out here in Brazil, unfortunately!!!

Shockingly bad FX

[bgaiv · 6/10 · 8 December 2021]

I don't need fantastic effects to enjoy a story, but the effects can't be so horrible they constantly rip you out of the story, and these do. The 3D of the generators, sea floor and magma are so bad, it's about equivalent to 1930s sci-fi where you can see the strings.

It's telling that this is currently the highest rated first season episode on here. They just never managed to pull this show together. When I see that long list of producers, I wonder if it was too many cooks... or the opposite, everybody thinking someone else is doing the work.

A bit of damp squib

HIGHER POWER is the season climax of SEAQUEST DSV, but it feels very much like an ordinary 'filler' episode. Much of the running time is bogged down by character melodrama which really isn't necessary, particularly all of the guff about Lucas and his estranged father. It only becomes moderately exciting during the climax, with Roy Scheider in action-man mode and some cheesy special effects to justify it being the final episode. The story ends with the Seaquest being destroyed, but fear not, this show's popularity meant a second season was to follow.
