Silly Fun
|
It is impossible to confuse this movie with anything serious. Doug McClure is adventurer David Innes, who accompanies Dr. Abner Perry (Peter Cushing) on a journey into the earth's core. Once they pair reaches the interior of the earth, they discover that everyone speaks English, except for the telepathic Meyhas, who communicate telepathically to the accompaniment of sound effects that clue you in to what is happening.
Suitable to a movie of this type, one of the people that David and Dr. Perry discover is Princess Dia (Caroline Munro, who also appeared in the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me" the year after this movie was released, both Dr. Phibes movies, and "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad," among others). Princess Dia is suitably undressed for the occasion, providing incentive for David and Dr. Perry to upset a status quo that appears to have existing for thousands of years.
In addition to the Meyhas, which are bird-like lizards, are other critters that appear to have some vague connection to dinosaurs, or perhaps I would be more accurate in saying that many of the creatures have vague connections to dinosaurs. Other creatures appear to be completely fictional. The environment seems to be a jungle, in a movie set sort of way.
This movie is a genuine cheese-fest, and yet it is enjoyable if you disconnect it from Edgar Rice Burrough's original story and watch with your brain mostly disconnected. Or you could make fun of it as you watch it (which is what I tend to do). If you have enjoyed other movies filmed about the same time using a similar style, "The Land That Time Forgot (1975)" and "The People That Time Forgot (1977)," this one will be a must-have for your collection.
