Plot: James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core in this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the center ...( read more read more... )of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernized to 1950s sensibilities. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it. --Rochelle O'Gorman

    What a fantastical story with nice effects, even now, they don't look so bad. It's a good adventure story about a journey to the world below our feet.

    Des décors somptueux, une histoire passionannte, des monstres préhistoriques et une pointe d'humour pour ce classique de l'aventure à redécouvrir avec bonheur.

    This one's supposed to be a classic and all, but I really didn't enjoy it very much. The close up of the red salamander licking his tongue really isn't very awe inspiring in any way. Prehistoric monster my ass...

    A classic film version of a classic story. Sure it is dated, but you know that before you start watching.

    A fun adaptation, though for its time not very crafty in terms of special effects. Plays more like an old episode of Star Trek.

    Loved it when I was a kid, some pretty duff effects though. Still, we are talking 1959 so one shouldn't be too picky.

    A Masterful tale of Adventure, one of my favorite Jules Verne stories brought to life by the Actors James Mason and Pat Boone amongst others! I love this one perpetually!

    i thought the way the scenes were shot with the dinosaurs and the characters in them together were great for 1959. strikes at the imagination of the mind
