Review of At the Earth's Core (1976) by Bruce B — 04 Feb 2009
This movie followed most of the other center of the earth movies, but its not all that bad, children would enjoy, also an adult with nothing else to do like myself. This came in a dual pack from MGM Midnite Movies.
It took me a while to figure out that Peter Cushing was Dr. Abner Perry as it appeared he lost a lot of weight from my memory of him. The beautiful girl was Caroline Munro who played Princess Dia, This movie was filmed in 1976, little did we know then that a Real Princess Diana would come along.
Movie was filled with flying creatures in rubber suites, men who were the slaves of the rubber suited creatures and they reminded me of the plant of the apes early years. Our hero Doug McClure fights off monsters, fire lava, bad guys, wicked looking bird beaked monsters and in the end loses Princess Dia as she wants to stay in her world and not travel to his, myself I would have told the Doctor to go home without me as long as little Princess Dia agreed to cook and clean the cave.
Modern day Sci-Fi Buffs would have a hard time enjoying this one, but if your in to the ole school Sci-Fi and Fantasy then Give it a try. Its not the worst film out there so 3 stars and its in my collection.
