Transatlantic Tunnel

Transatlantic Tunnel came out in 1935, but was years ahead of it's time with the technology in the show.  If nothing else, everyone should watch this movie just for the technology they had.  These people dreamed of so many things.  A drill that would be able to drill through the bottom of the ocean to connect American and Britain being the biggest one.  I also thought it was amazing that they had big screens, flat screens and even made telephone calls through the TV.  Just a little over 75 years later, here we are with so much of this technology that people back then could only dream of.  It's brilliant just to see how far we have come.

Now that we have gotten that amazingness out, let's get onto the plot.  I thought it was a decent plot albeit a little slow from time to time.  It was really awesome to see all of the hardships these people went through to get this tunnel built though.  And I feel that this was less of a movie about Sci-fi and more a movie about the importance of family.  The messages this movie portrays are messages that pertain to all of us today.  This man gave up so much for his dream.  First it was missing out on little events going on in his son's life. Then it was his wife's health.  After loosing his wife and son because his project was too important, the story continues to delve deeper from there.  Although I won't give away too many spoilers for those of you who wish to experience this movie for yourself.

I really liked this movie and loved the morals that it was getting at, but for me the plot was a little slow and not really something that I really get into.  Now don't think that just because it wasn't one of my favorites that it's not a movie worth watching.  It is worth watching at least once, just to see all of the cool little technologies they put into and how far we really have come.  It's also got a great underlining moral about how family is the most important thing.  Which I agree with wholeheartedly.  As always, the movies that we review in Jess the Geek Girl's Movie Review are available on Netflix streaming.  So check it out, and if you like, feel free to leave your own little review in the comments section of my blog.
