Doomwatch (1972)
4/10
Snoozefest.

Warning: Spoilers
Don't expect much but an environmental lecture in this overly talkie movie that rambles on and on about dumping in waters off of England and really reveals nothing the audience didn't already know. It's a 90 minute finger wag that could have been taken care of as a 20 minute segment from a news magazine show rather than wasting the talents of British actors like Ian Bannen and George Sanders. It deals with how eating contaminates fish makes the consumers sick and does nothing but set off a bunch of silly conspiracy theories and arguments with the federal government and those deemed responsible. While admirably filmed, it is overly dramatic throughout with a ridiculously booming musical score and painfully slow paving. Watching paint dry is more interesting like this.
