WHERE TIME BEGAN - FABULOUS JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2007

This is a low budget version of the 1959 classic Journey to the Center of the Earth. This is from 1978 aka Where Time Began - The Fabulous Journey to the Center of the Earth Similar plot with all the character going to the center of the earth & finding monsters. Some of the monsters are really cool to me while one of them , a King Kong ape wanna-be looks like Edward G Robinson and has a super goofy look to it. There are flesh eating sea monsters and giant turtles. Characters and situations aren't up to the 1959 version with James Mason (no remake to me has been nearly as good). I thought it was entertaining for the most part. I wasnt into some changes in the story by Simon (the man from the future joining the foursome) and there was an unnecessary pointless vomit scene, but overall not too bad. Better than a lot of J Piqor Simon movies like Pieces , the Unearthling, etc. This may have been his biggest budgeted movie for all I know.
The DVD transfer is the best it will ever look from Code Red and now I understand its out of print

this is a good movie,this adventure follows an expedition to the earth's core where a team of explores uncovers an underground sea, giants mushrooms and prehistoric creatures including a giant gorilla that rivals king kong!. this fantasy classic boats a stellar international cast including kenneth more(A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, SINK THE BISMARCK!),the beautiful ivonne sentis and euro-cult stars jack taylor(SUCUBUS,NIGHT OF THE SORCERERS)and frank braña( ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST). this film has been restored in its uncut widescreen. i recommended.

Maybe this 1959 version did not have a big budget like the other version with

Pat Boone, but after seeing again, i was pleasently surprise but some of

the caves and mountain scenes,,, as most of the movie is filmed in the great

outdoors the movie moves along pretty good. Always fun to watch a different

version of your favorite movie, and this one left me with a smile.

Great for the whole family. Enjoy

Bizarre version of the classic Jules Verne subterrestrial adventure is lots of silly fun. Perfect for a rainy weekend afternoon.

THE STORY: Classic tale about a idealistic scientist & his assistant who, with questionable help from a couple of tagalongs, enter a partially-mapped underground cavern system hoping to discover a path that will take them to the very heart of our planet. Along the way these intrepid explorers encounter all manner of mysterious phenomena, including huge, bloodthirsty monstrosities from the dawn of time. Our subterranean adventurers must be quick thinking & fast on their feet if they hope to escape the fantastic perils which threaten them and make it back to the surface in one piece.

THOUGHTS: There are so many filmed versions of this particular Jules Verne novel that it's difficult to keep track of them all. (Around 10 or so at last count, not to mention the many similarly-themed films, like Unknown World). I had a hard time convincing people that I had actually seen this particular version. In fact, I wasn't sure myself! I only remembered a few details and couldn't recall the title, and since this movie has had at least 3 different titles I suppose it's not all that hard to understand my confusion. I had to post on an online bulletin board asking for help in figuring out the title and if it was on video. Lo and behold it was! This film is pretty bad, but I mean that in the best way. This and the James Mason version are my two favorites. This one moves along faster than the 1959 film, has a little more variety in the monster line-up and no silly duck for comedy relief. There are a few other twists not found in the '59 flick. Some good, some bad, some that'll leave you scratching your head in bewilderment.

THE DVD: The video & audio on this DVD release of JVTFJTTCOTE, (Whew! Even abbreviated this title is a mouthful!), are actually quite good. Regrettably, this particular version is now OOP (out of print), so snag yourself a copy quickly, before they're gone forever! But beware! The asking price is all over the map for this obscure z-grade clinker. IMHO, it's worth a look if you're curious and have some disposable cash to throw away. You can find it going anywhere from under a buck used to well over $100 for a brand new disc! And remember... "Monkey!!!" 5 STARS
