Teenager Marshall Teller is having trouble convincing his family that really strange things are going on in their new hometown.

Big-budget updating of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. By the year 2018 Earth's oceans are being colonised and exploited. A sub and its ecologically-aware crew - which includes a boy genius and a communicative dolphin - try to keep the peace. Cast changes for the 2032 version weren't enough to save the show from oblivion.

Most of the dramatic tension of the original RoboCop movies went missing in action when the somewhat unpredictably aggressive cyborg cop was reprogrammed to be more law and orderly. There's even something for the kids when the hero's son shows up. Nevertheless, the attacks on corporate-run society are deftly done.
