the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

man for precisely the same reasons. - Douglas Adams

Yes there are explosions and fires and lead characters who grow or at least grow on 
you as the movie progresses. There is lots of tension not the cheap stuff the real 
deal. The cinematography is complex but in this case it serves the movie rather than 
being pretentous. I was incredibly surprised by the film. A true original within the 
context of a very pedestrian horror/sci-fi film.

But *not* great as the top of a triple feature movie night (video

I ought to watch it by itself sometime.
