Editorial Reviews

Released by Universal in 1916, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was the first great special effects spectacular of early cinema. Based on the Jules Verne novel, the story concerns a team of scientists investigating a series of naval disturbances who find the culprit is the Nautilus, a submarine piloted by Captain Nemo, a hate-driven renegade seaman. Over a year-and-a-half in production, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is a colorful recreation of Verne's science fiction classic.

I bought the Blue-Ray Version

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

Being Blue-Ray, it emphasized every defect in the film which occurred in long sequences. The regular DVD might have been the better choice.

The innovation of the film was being the first under-ocean ever filmed. There was a LOT of it.

The plot was nigh-on-to non-existent occurring at the beginning and ending the film quite abruptly.

It is an interesting curiosity piece.

Barbara Underwood

Spectacular for its time

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

With all famous, classic stories which have been remade several times over the decades, it can be difficult not to compare one version with the other, especially when one of them was made in the middle of the silent film era. So it's important to keep in mind that this early 1916 version of Jules Verne's classic was a state-of-the-art superior production at that time, complete with exciting battle scenes, special effects and even the first real underwater photography. The film even opens with a credit to the two inventors of the new underwater camera, as well as a suitable little tribute to Jules Verne's amazing foresight as he described submarines and other futuristic things half a century before they were invented. Keeping all this mind, viewing this silent version of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" becomes a whole new adventure, and even though the underwater shots, old-fashioned diving suits and short battle scenes are humdrum for us today, they are still of good quality even by today's standards, and must have been an exciting spectacle for audiences back in 1916.

While not entirely faithful to Verne's original, the story is quite interesting and involves far more than just showing off the technology of the period with many underwater and submarine scenes. In fact, for a 1916 production, this film is particularly sophisticated on various levels, and with careful editing the lives of three different groups of people are related, leading to a climax which shows how all their paths cross and how they are connected. There is Captain Nemo with his mysterious quest for revenge, some balloonists who become stranded on an island where a wild girl lives, and then the man plagued by a guilty conscience who returns to this island in search of the girl. Besides some intriguing plots and drama, there is some good action (by 1916 standards, that is) including a diver wrestling a giant octopus. Together with a newly-made musical score of both piano on its own at times, then other instruments, the overall effect is of an interesting film with much variety, quite apart from its historic significance as being a pioneer of underwater photography and other exciting action effects of its time.

Very early science fiction

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2011

Verified Purchase

This was a remarkable production in 1917, well-preserved and intelligently tinted. The story includes Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, Mysterious Island, and plot points not thought of by Jules Verne. There is a music score, alternating between a stereo orchestral accompaniment and choppy monophonic piano. Underwater photography is very impressive with the rest of the photography not far behind.
The DVD provides a satisfying presentation of a ground-breaking film. There are no special features. Very much worthwhile.
