The Deal...
The young warrior Son Goku sets out on a quest, racing against time and the venegeful King Piccolo, to collect a set of seven magical orbs that will grant their wielder one perfect wish. (IMDB)

Did Wrongs:
1. The Acting: it is nothing short of pathetic. I can understand that the dialogue was absolutely horrible in this movie, but the actors could've at least tried! The "performances" in this film were about amazing as the sound of a toilet flushing. Maybe the dialogue was already a rotting carcass, but these "actors" didn't help. The best/worse example of this would be the character 'Yamcha,' played by Joon Park... -_-

2. The Dialogue: like I said before, it was terrible. You'd find more exciting things scratched into the walls of a public washroom. This film possibly has some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard. To call this an abomination would be a gross understatement. It is extremely unrealistic, and sometimes completely random. The characters' reactions make you cringe... honestly, every time someone opens their mouth in this movie, it's like nails on a chalkboard.

The Deal...
Described as a “sci-fi reimaging of Herman Melville’s classic tale” (Netflix) by the same name, 2010: Moby Dick tells the story of the demented sea-Captain Ahab (Barry Bostwick). Having lost his leg decades earlier in a brutal accident involving a navy submarine and a mammoth white whale, Ahab is blinded by an insatiable thirst for revenge and leading a singularly-purposed life: hunt the 500 ft aquatic beast to its death. He enlists the help of whale-song expert Dr. Michelle Herman (Renee O’Connor) to ensure his success in a cold-blooded chase and battle that pits blood-thirsty man against blood-thirsty monster.
