Nadia The Secret of Blue Water - The Motion Picture Review
This 1993 feature won't make much sense to viewers who don't already know the characters from the 39-episode TV series (1990). Two years after her original adventure, Nadia hasn't had much success as a reporter in London. But when important military, political, and business figures begin evaporating, she investigates. Dr. Giegar, a former follower of Gargoyle, is replacing world leaders with robots. He plans to start a world war, so he can conquer humanity during the ensuing chaos. Improbably, the comic villains Grandis, Sanson, and Hanson appear to rescue Nadia, Jean, and a mysterious girl with the unfortunate name of Fuzzy. Nearly one-third of the film consists of flashbacks, and the recycled footage barely leaves the filmmakers the time to set up their baroque story before it ends. The result is a mishmash that lacks the charm of the program. Unrated; suitable for ages 10 and up for violence and brief nudity. --Charles Solomon
