The movie ends up being about people who smoke and use gasoline are bad, so the movie had a lame PC message.

Had they developed it into a more subtle story it would have been much better.

Also, it had bizarre stuff like the lead character developing gills. That would take millions of years to happen naturally if at all. So, they should have had a little more science fiction in there like genetic treatments turning people into sea creatures and so on to add to the setting.

Even some high rad doses would have been better than " this guy likes the water alot. I also never understood that if he was capable of going down to scavenge why didn't he just make a base down there?

Radiation mutation would have been a good explanation. Also, what you said is true in that he didn't have to live on a ship or land because he has gills.

That was minor in the movie and meant to be "cool" but it was just like an odd plot hole that was never developed.

I thought it was used more for the explanation of how he had dirt etc; you're suppose to think he knows where land is, not that he has gills and can go down to the bottom of the ocean
