Critic Reviews

Jay Cocks, TIME Magazine
Instant second childhood is guaranteed in less than 90 minutes.
-
, New York Times
Just as the much grander Jaws became less scary the moment its mechanical shark appeared, the early virtues of Land collapse once the island is reached and the traffic jam in artificial monsters develops.
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The special effects are unrealistic, as are the dialog and performances. However, despite everything, the picture still makes for great fun.
-
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
It starts off promisingly with some stylised and ridiculous heroics involving a German sub, but once the island has been occupied and a few excellent monsters vanquished, the plot settles down to some very ordinary machinations.

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Remains an entertaining old-fashioned adventure tale but loses any edge it might have started out with.
