20,000 Leagues Under the Sea gets a dose of On the Beach in Irwin Allen's visually impressive but scientifically silly Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. While the Seaview, the world's most advanced experimental submarine, maneuvers under the North Pole, the Van Allen radiation belt catches fire, giving the concept "global warming" an entirely new dimension. As the Earth broils in temperatures approaching 170 degrees F, Walter Pidgeon's maniacally driven Admiral Nelson hijacks the Seaview and plays tag with the world's combined naval forces on a race to the South Pacific, where he plans to extinguish the interstellar fire with a well-placed nuclear missile. But first he has to fight a mutinous crew, an alarmingly effective saboteur, not one but two giant squid attacks, and a host of design flaws that nearly cripple the mission (note to Nelson: think backup generators). Barbara Eden shimmies to Frankie Avalon's trumpet solos in the most formfitting naval uniform you've ever seen, fish-loving Peter Lorre plays in the shark tank, gloomy religious fanatic Michael Ansara preaches Armageddon, and Joan Fontaine looks very uncomfortable playing an armchair psychoanalyst. It's all pretty absurd, but Allen pumps it up with larger-than-life spectacle and lovely miniature work. --Sean Axmaker

Product Description

3 out of 5 stars "Global Warming Edition"?   June 30, 2008
R. L. Hodges (Seattle, WA United States)
You've got to be kidding. Is there nothing sacred that the "capitalists in hippie clothing" global warmies won't desecrate?

Absolutely shameless.

This classic 1960s fantasy was just that, a fun but ridiculous fantasy - not a prediction of things to come. It was created in the day when every problem that mankind faced was solved with a nuke. It was also created in a day when the atmosphere was a heck of a lot more polluted than it is today.

Slapping a "Global Warming" label on this movie is almost as utterly absurd as the religion that Global Warming has become. With NASA data showing that the hottest years on record are all in the 1930s (1934 being the hottest), and the coldest, record-setting years on record are 2006, 2007 and 2008, I'm dumbfounded as to how many "sheeple" buy into this global warming propaganda.

This is the movie that started it all for VTTBOTS fans, they cleaned it up, added some extras, repackaged it on it's own (used to be on a disc with FANTASTIC VOYAGE) and what a fine job they did too, an all-star cast with Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lorre, Frankie Avalon & Barbara Eden are all aboard the submarine Seaview on top of the world on sea trials for what everyone calls "Nelson's Folly" but while under the ocean, Seaview will be put to a test that could determine the fate of the whole world, a radiation belt around earth has ignited and is ablaze and threatens the world with extinction and of course, it'll be up to submarine Seaview to save us from destruction............Will they?, I guess you'll just have to buy this terrific movie and find out, A MUST for any DVD collector.

I like this for its free-wheeling approach to coherence and logic. So much of the plot -- from barbara eden as a crew member, the pseudo-science behind the atmosphere catching fire, the vaguely foreign guy with the little dog, to the comic-book political characterizations -- is highly reminiscent of what a kid would dream up on the spot. Don't take this too seriously and you'll enjoy it more.

This was another one of Irwin Allen's big screen productions. For a 1960's era movie, it's really not that bad. This movie launched the TV series of the same name, which I would watch every week. I liked the crew of the TV series better, Richard Basehart (Admiral) and David Hedison (Captain) of the Seaview (sub). The TV series were much more intersting, but don't let that spoil your viewing of this movie. This movie has a solid cast and the Seaview is wonderous as ever, minus the Sea Saucer (came later in the TV series).

I guess I was expecting an episode from the TV series with a different cast. This was probably the pilot movie, before the TV series. I did think that Barbara Eden was great, though. Also, now a days I think science fiction is more based on real science. They probably didn't have as good consultants back in the 60's as we do now.
