- It is the year 2021. In this mind-bogglingly distant future, Sealab rises imperiously from the ocean’s floor, her crew charged with exploring the possibility of underwater colonization. That is, when they’re not fighting giant squids over a toy oven.* Or running pirate radio stations. Or trying to put their brains into robot bodies. Or going back in time. Or being attacked by flesh-ripping aliens.

Do not waste your time with this dvd! i picked this up on the recommendations of a few people and it sounded hilarious from what i had heard. i was incredibly let down with the bad animation and sad attempt at humour! steer clear of this title, you will be glad you did!

Don’t be deceived by the other reviews. It’s not funny.
I now have a dvd to sell, but will feel bad if I con anyone into buying it.
I don’t think I can select a negative star rating, so it’s getting a star.

Why would they do this?
OK, I can understand the humor. A great number of people appear to appreciate it. I think I would, as well, if it weren’t for one key missing ingredient. Whey didn’t they take advantage of all that additional space on the DVD (or go with an additional DVD) and include an option to select between the Sealab 2020 audio and the Sealab 2021 audio?
I bought this not realizing what I was getting. I thought I’d be getting the original Sealab 2020 (not catching it was 2021, initially).
I don’t see Sealab 2020 DVDs offered for sale, either.
I’m just very disappointed.
An Original Sealab 2020 Fan.

Let’s stack this lame, formulaic retread against some cartoons that are actually watchable: The Simpsons was consistently brilliant for 8 years and can still hit some high marks. Futurama was original, superbly-drawn, and although it was inconsistent its best episodes were as good as anything. The Family Guy was (and is) sometime hilariously twisted. Compared to these shows, Sealab 2021 is nearly useless. It’s visually crappy. Its characters aim for quirky, but come up short and fall squarely on annoying. The plotlines try to wring some humor out of bizarre situations, but it’s a lost cause — there’s just no reason at all to care. I really don’t understand why people like this show. I know it’s on late at night, but I don’t think I’ve ever been stoned and bored enough to get into lame, numbing garbage like this. Along with the static anime, this is a low point for Adult Swim.

I was very disapointed with the movie. But the product was in good shape
