Summary: 5 Stars
I've watched a lot of different films with my (now grown) sons and listened to a lot of different music with them as well. They grew up with a fun but serious appreciation for music and movies and the arts in general. We've watched and discussed lots of classic horror and sci-fi from the US, Great Britain, Europe and Japan, but every year for New Years Eve we would gather together to watch this movie. We knew it by heart, we asked "Where's Gertrude?" knowing well what Thayer David had for lunch that day. It didn't matter that Pat Boone went in and out of accent, or even that he sang. The caverns were great, the colors of the subterranean sets were beautiful and James Mason was absolutely The Man! This is a beautifully realized wide-screen full-on color adventure and it's just plain fun to watch it with the whole family. Sometimes they don't make 'em like they used to! DVD Review: Awesome Movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't waste your time watching the new version, this one is much better, the scenes are very realistic!DVD Review: Hubby's B-day
Summary: 4 Stars
The DVD was good quality, but the special effects reflected the time. My husband remembered it fondly from his childhood, but found it to be lacking when he actually watched it. Definitely a "B" movie.
Description of Journey to the Center of the Earth
The accent is on fun and fantasy in this film version of Jules Verne's classic thriller that stars James Mason, Pat Boone, and Arlene Dahl. With spectacular visuals as a backdrop, the story centers on an expedition led by Professor Lindenbrook (Mason) down into the earth's dark, threat-laden core. Members of the group include the professor's star student, Alec (Boone), and the widow (Dahl) of a colleague. Along the way lurk dangers such as kidnapping, death, sabotage by a rival explorer, and attacks by giant prehistoric reptiles. But they also encounter such magnificent wonders as a glistening cavern of quartz crystals, luminescent algae, a forest of giant mushrooms, and the lost city of Atlantis.Remaining faithful to Verne's story, this is a sweeping adventure that offers enough thrills and entertainment to satisfy every explorer in the family.
James Mason plays Professor Oliver Lindenbrook, a scientist hoping to find the world's core in this 1959 adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. He leads his unusual party on an expedition to the center of the earth, by way of a volcano in Iceland. On the way, they encounter enormous mushrooms and giant prehistoric monsters. Produced by Michael Todd with then-spectacular special effects, the story was modernized to 1950s sensibilities. Mason gives this class, while Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker are the romantic interests. And Pat Boone is more palatable than you might expect as a secondary lead. You can watch this with your children and not be bored, and they will surely love it. --Rochelle O'Gorman
