VHS Movie Reviews of Voyage to Bottom of Sea [VHS]
Movie Review: Good Sci Fi movie that spawned Questionable TV Show!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent Sci Fi film for it's time. The special effects don't hold up over time. The giant octopus and glaciers all look like models. However for the 1960's technology it was state of the art. If you want to see Barbara Eden and Frankie Avalon,Walter Pigeion and many others, this film is worth your time for the guest stars. This was Irwin Allen at his best. The series that followed was good in it's first year. Although it was recast, it quickly degenerated into the monster of the week. In an ideal world I wish Walter Pigeion was the admiral of the Seaview on the TV version. The movie had the benefit of being well written with good characters. The TV show was a different story.
Richard Baseheart did an admirable job as the admiral on the TV version. However from year 2 on, the scripts were laughable. I have to wonder how the writers could sit behind a typewriter and create the lobster man, wolf man, cyborg etc.,etc. The scriptwriters must have been glad to pay for the morgage that month. I am sure the U.S. Navy wasn't endorsing this show.
Summary of Voyage to Bottom of Sea [VHS]
A routine scientific expedition to the North Pole turns into a race to save all mankind when a radiation belt in space causes a fiery inferno on Earth. Admiral Nelson (Walter Pidgeon) and the crew of the atomic submarine Seaview battle saboteurs, giant sea-creatures and attacks by enemy submarines as they race to prevent global catastrophe. Renowned disaster film producer, Irwin Allen, produces and directs an all-star cast including Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden, Peter Lore, and Frankie Avalon. The stunning visual effects and breathtaking underwater photography make this one of the most respected sci-fi adventure classics of all time.20,000 Leagues Under the Sea gets a dose of On the Beach in Irwin Allen's visually impressive but scientifically silly Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. While the Seaview, the world's most advanced experimental submarine, maneuvers under the North Pole, the Van Allen radiation belt catches fire, giving the concept "global warming" an entirely new dimension. As the Earth broils in temperatures approaching 170 degrees?F, Walter Pidgeon's maniacally driven Admiral Nelson hijacks the Seaview and plays tag with the world's combined naval forces on a race to the South Pacific, where he plans to extinguish the interstellar fire with a well-placed nuclear missile. But first he has to fight a mutinous crew, an alarmingly effective saboteur, not one but two giant squid attacks, and a host of design flaws that nearly cripple the mission (note to Nelson: think backup generators). Barbara Eden shimmies to Frankie Avalon's trumpet solos in the most formfitting naval uniform you've ever seen, fish-loving Peter Lorre plays in the shark tank, gloomy religious fanatic Michael Ansara preaches Armageddon, and Joan Fontaine looks very uncomfortable playing an armchair psychoanalyst. It's all pretty absurd, but Allen pumps it up with larger-than-life spectacle and lovely miniature work. --Sean Axmaker
