Review of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961) by Gus S — 20 May 2008

Exactly what you would expect from director Irwin Allen who would later turn this idea into one of his famous TV shows. The Allen touch is obvious and that makes the film exciting and convincing with a very unique plot, having the Van Allen belt catch fire causing Global Warming years before anyone considered Al Gore's claims.

The Seaview is a great design and the underwater sets are well done. A few deep sea beasts are thrown in for good measure.
