5/5 Mysterious Island Movie Reveiw
  by W. Barnett (OH, USA)
This movie is a must see for people who like old Sci-Fi movies. Very well put together for the technology of this era.

3/5 Rainy Day Fare
  by Moe&Company (USA)
I won't say this is the best old sci-fi adventure film I own and have watched, although it's not the absolute worst either. If you're bored out of your mind one rainy afternoon, having absolutely nothing better to do, you might find this film a mildly entertaining diversion and even fun. The kids, the dog, and the cat will no doubt like and enjoy watching as a small band of stranded war refugees and a pair of clueless, shipwrecked women battle the elements and the strange island's grossly overgrown wildlife population--enormous animals that wreak havoc during an already desperate situation. In the end, the resourceful party is saved as Captain Nemo valiantly comes to the rescue. In entertainment value, and as a part of an older film collection, the movie is worth the asking price.

4/5 So so DVD
  by Laurence G. Dorning (New York State)
I bought this DVD to replace my old VHS copy. Since I first saw it I have always loved this film for it's sense of adventure and fantasy. The Harryhausen special effects are great as always and the Bernard Herrmann score is a gem. But the quality of the DVD is not the greatest. This film has obviously not been restored in any sense. Some of the scenes are completely washed out and for most of the movie the sound is terrible. But it is widescreen and looks nice on a big screen TV. The best thing about the disc is the bonus extra on the work of Ray Harryhausen.That alone is reason enough to own this disc. And the film still is alot of fun to watch.

2/5 WIDESCREEN WARNING...
  by A. M. Smith (Eugene,OR)
Warning before you buy!! This particular "Widescreen" version appears to be nothing more than 4:3 "Zoomed" (not the best term I agree) to 16:9, which results , for me anyway, in a terrible picture of, giant heads, and half bodies w/ most of the original movie chopped off...it DOES fill the screen however,...which seems to be the most important thing to 90% of viewers...


4/5 A pat on the back for the seller
  by George Falcon
The physical quality of the product was as advertised. Packing and
shipping of the DVD was well done.
( After watching the production, I realized why I haven't been
to movie for 30 years!)
