    A colourpuking and bizarre mash up of Vernesian ideas and Hollywood mainstream, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea never really takes of as a movie and introduces many ideas while not developing the old ones. The character's motivations are utterly one-dimensional and taken out of t...( read more)he help-yourself stereotype box (foreign villain or German scientist anyone ?). The cast is made up of B-movie stars and type casts such as grumpy woodman Walter Pidgeon, whose performance is so stiff, I almost ripped my silverscreen apart. I did not enjyo the movie, as much as the technicolour fest and fight with the Kraken (Camp !) made me cbuckle. To ambitious and bloated for a b-movie, and far from being an A-movie.

    Have you ever seen something so horribly bad that you couldn't tear yourself away from it? Well...this would be one of those things.

    This is a fun movie to watch. It's very reminiscent of a "Twilight Zone" episode where the earth is being baked. Great science fiction writing in this. It's good to see the only two actresses in scenes together. Barbara Eden and Joan Fontaine are excellent and worked well wit...( read more)h each other, too. I realize the producers were trying to create a super submarine for effect, but it was the roomiest submarine ever with high ceilings, broad staircases and wide rooms. Another hilarious aspect was the below-the-knee high railing to keep people from falling into the shark tank. Safety? Naw, it's over-rated.
    My favorite scene is Barbara Eden's entrance: having her wiggling butt engulf the entire screen! Classic!

    The movie that started it all and launch not only a successful piece of science fiction and high adventure but also became a very successful weekly television series in its own right. This was one of Irwin Allen's most successful films and its right up there with his later works "The Poseidon Adventure" and "The Towering Inferno" that made him ...THE MASTER OF DISASTER AND HIGH ADVENTURE.....
