Product Description

Based on Jules Vern's classic novel, MYSTERIOUS ISLAND is the story of five men escaping from a Confederate prison in an observation balloon. When they land the balloon, they find themselves on a South Seas island where they encounter pirates, a giant bird, a giant crab and even Captain Nemo.

Amazon.com

Jules Verne's classic adventure is perfectly matched with Ray Harryhausen's timeless movie magic in Mysterious Island. Based on Verne's sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, this rousing Civil War-era fantasy begins when a band of Union war prisoners (and one Confederate straggler) escape in a hot-air balloon, which crash-lands on the titular island of mystery. Verne's novel doesn't include any gigantic creatures, but Harryhausen's version--under the capable direction of genre specialist Cy Endfield--features giant oysters, bees, a prehistoric Phororhacos (a giant chickenlike bird!), an undersea cephalopod, a giant crab, and enough danger to keep its resourceful ensemble on constant alert. Captain Nemo (Herbert Lom, ably filling James Mason's shoes) is a third-act hero, pursuing an ill-fated dream to save humanity from hunger and war. The action may be too intense for younger viewers, but Endfield's pacing and Harryhausen's stop-motion mastery make Mysterious Island a wondrous precursor to Harryhausen's follow-up classic, Jason and the Argonauts. --Jeff Shannon

At last! A perfect Blu-ray of this great movie!

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

The picture quality is astounding — which pleased me greatly, because the DVD has a terrible "strobing" brightness in some scenes which makes it very unpleasant to watch. After years of waiting, this Blu-ray is the answer to the prayers of Ray Harryhausen fans everywhere! The special features are very enjoyable as well.

This Blu-ray is highly recommended.

Well worth the viewing for a 1961 movie. if you watch some of the special features after you will see that they tried to add an element that may appeal to many others by making it more scifi than anything else, this is the inclusion of a giant crab and a giant chicken and big bees. 4 "Yankees" escape from a southern prison during the civil war. they also happen to capture a southern gentleman. These 5 are caught in a balloon and a storm is pushing them west! (though the effects show the wind should be pushing them east!) They crash on an island and well there you go. the fight for survival is on. Still later on there is another surprise and that is they are on the island of an also trapped Captain Nemo. then they all try to figure out how to get off this island. All and all very entertaining is you look past certain things, my hardest thing to get past was the oh so snobby Lady Margaret,(I think). The standout performance is of course Herbert Lom.

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2018

Ray Harryhausan was second to none in the use of dynamation to re-create pre-historic species. The Phororhacus (ancient chicken-like specie) was superb. Jules Verne was a Genius with Science Fiction, and Mysterious Island continued
where 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea finished, with the re-appearance of Capt. Nemo. The setting during the Civil War in America was excellent because manned balloon observation devices were an innovation. This is a 1961 classic that is a 5 gold star DVD for family viewing. I saw this movie when I was 14 years old, and pleased to have it in my DVD collection with other classics.

Great Classic

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

We enjoyed the 1961 Mysterious Island DVD, based on the Jules Verne classic story, which was based on a true story. The animation shows its age, but does not detract from the enjoyment of this story of Civil War prisoners who escape in a huge observation balloon during a storm and are blown to an island with a giant crab, a herd of goats, and Captain Nemo (a Jules Verne character from another story) living in the Nautilus. A special treat was Herbert Lom from the Pink Panther movies as Nemo.

An Excellent Adaptation of the Jules Verne Story

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is the signature version of the "Mysterious Island" Jules Verne Story. While I personally have always enjoyed the Jules Verne Stories of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and their subsequent big screen treatments in the 1950's a bit more in terms of pure fantasy entertainment, this one stands out as more serious fare with much more than superficial character development offered up. Filmed and released in the early 1960's, I think it stands up as well as those films and in some ways as already mentioned, even better.

The cast, while not particularly recognizable (at least to me) all turn into thoughtful peformances and the movie score is quite haunting and memorable. For fans of the Captain Nemo character, (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea)this is an opportunity to see him again on the big screen as he is introduced and becomes important to the plot in the 2nd half of the film. The drifting baloon sequences at the beginning (Civil War Setting)which lead them through a big storm to be marooned on the Island are also a big treat.

If you are also a fan of Ray Harryhausen's creature work, this is a must add to your collection but in general, it is entertaining for any fan of the Adventure Story/Genre... Also, another great way to introduce a child to the works of the great Jules Verne!

What a classic fantasy film - if you've seen this as a child it's still as good to watch as an adult. Great family viewing even with today's kids - just make sure they know the value of something being "campy" and they'll love it for that. Good acting and effects, especially for that time.

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2021

This Jules Verne adaptation is a must for fans of early adventure films. Captain Nemo returns, Ray Harryhausen gets out some of his best toys, and the cast works together seamlessly to deliver a convincing screenplay.

This blu-ray from Powerhouse/Indicator is essential. Packed with interesting special features! If you're shopping these early adventure/scifi titles, this is one of the best.

Nothing like a good old fashioned stop motion film. I'm an adventurer at heart and always loved this movie. Captain Nemo was very well done. He developed nuclear power before it was known. A very intelligent person. Eccentric but compassionate. Lues Verne was a visionary ahead of his time in writing his stories. Very believable. Love that big ole crab. and the giant bees.1960 I was 9 then, makes this film old but still a great classic stop motion film and family friendly.

Quality Movie, Quality Pic & Sound

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

A great movie with effects from the late great Ray Harryhausen that is not available to us in the UK. The picture and sound quality for this Blu-ray is beautiful considering its age. This difficult to attain movie had been restored very very well. This edition is an american version but don't worry it is region free. The Twilight versions of this movie are very hard to get hold of. However there is also a different version that has come to the UK recently if you are happy to pay for a box set where the picture quality is not as good and it has two other movies in it you may not want.

Region 1?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have 2 versions of this now (BluRay and regular). Neither play on my DVD Region 2. However, I was saved by being able to play it on an XBox One. The latter struggles with graphics, lots of buffering. I'd have sent them back but I'll probably buy a multi-region DVD at some point so not really bothered. Just a warning for folk that want to buy the DVD in whatever format. Service was great, no other problems.

Great adventure movie for that rainy day. Let it take you on a journey into a world of fantastical creatures, pirates & the mysterious Capt. Nemo. I believe the Blu Ray transfer could have been better? But it's as good as it's going to get for the time being. So sit back & feast your eyes on an adventure on the "Mysterious Island " that you will revisit time & time again! Because they certainly do not make them like this anymore!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 29, 2014

There two things to note about this film first it was made before digital CGI and second it was made using stop-motion. All the creature you see are actual models that were made to appear to be moving using stop-motion. The models that they used for the volcano was a give away but for the rest it was brilliant work the scene with the giant bee was truly magical and a cinema classic moment. I like the ballon scene best of all as it looks like they are really in the air on over the sea even though it was all done in a studio and the used Spain for the tropical island. A real land mark classic movie.
