Editorial Reviews

Oscar-nominee Robert Ryan ("The Wild Bunch," "Crossfire") plays Captain Nemo, the infamous submarine captain. The Captain rescues six shipwreck survivors and brings them to his underwater fortress, where they may be trapped for the rest of their lives. Nanette Newman ("The Wrong Box") and Chuck Connors ("Soylent Green," "Old Yeller") co-star in this fantasy-adventure. Enjoyable for the entire family. Directed by Oscar-winner James Hill.

What a wonderful filmmusic by Walter Scott, what a wonderful cast starring Robert Ryan, Nannette Newman, Chuck Conners and all the others. A film inspired by the book of Jules Verne. Adventures in the underwater city Templemer. A motion picture with a special atmosphere and mood. I promise: you will enjoy every minute of it.
Stunninig visual effects, excellent actors and a very remarkable film music! Just watch!

This review is from: Captain Nemo and the Underwater City (DVD)

"Captain Nemo and the Underwater City" is a fun movie in the spirit of other Verne movies, such as "Journey to the Center of the Earth", "20,000 Leagues ..." or "Mysterious Island". Robert Ryan, Nannette Newman, Chuck Conners and all the others do a great job entertaining their audience. The photography and production details are well done, as is the quality of the DVD. Is it a great Oscar winner? Of course not. But, unlike a lot of movies, it has a beginning and an end with character and story development. It is a nice addition to anyone's collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great SF from the era, but Verne would gag watching it, August 3, 2011

This review is from: Captain Nemo and the Underwater City (DVD)

I saw this movie for the first at the cinema - yes, I was only 9 years old, but I still remembered parts of it years later - mostly the underwater city, Templemer. Remember - it's a model, not computer effects. The movie is a blatant attempt to capitalize on Verne and Nemo - just call it "The Underwater City" and leave Nemo out of it. It works better that way.

It's still one of my favorite flicks from the 1960's and would be in my top 50 SF film list. Classic SF fan? You have to see this! I think Vincent Price would have been a better Nemo.

Here's a bit of trivia - you probably know Nemo translates as "no name" - what was the characters "real" name? Prince Dakkar.
