Jim P Now I like old “B” movies but this is dreadful. Avoid Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review dave s If you could watch The Lost Continent without sound, it actually looks pretty decent. Sadly, the story is such a convoluted mess with so many absurd subplots that it becomes incoherent and impenetrable. In a nutshell, a ship is lost at sea and ventures into uncharted waters filled with perils. Where it gets complicated is with the characters, a virtual who's who of bad guys – smugglers, thieves, a piano playing alcoholic and conmen, among others. Once they dodge some man-eating seaweed, they find themselves dealing with strange attackers attached to balloons, conquistadors, and a leader who goes by the title El Supremo. Really, it all feels like a bit of a mess and while it could be entertaining in a ‘this is wacky' kind of way, it's really more annoying than anything else. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I have no idea what was going through my parent's collective minds to allow my younger self to watch this in my first decade on the planet. It literally frightened the living sh&t out of me! Watching it now though, in my 5th decade, it seemed so tame compared with modern-day horror films. I enjoyed the trip down memory lane rewatching it, I'm amazed this didn't become more of a cult film. The storyline is erratic and a little 'off the wall'; flesh-eating seaweed, personal hot air balloons to navigate said flesh-eating seaweed, Spaniards lost in time, vast explosions. How to best sum this film up??? probably 'The Voyage of the Dammed' meets Gilligan's Island. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Oddball Hammer Studios picture about a proverbial ship of the dammed, a group of disparate passengers on a dilapidated cruise liner on their way to South America are struck by a storm that leaves them stranded on a dangerous uncharted island containing all sorts of dangers. Those dangers include various prehistoric monsters and even some remnants/descendants from the Spanish Inquisition who think that's still a thing (OMG, that's so 1478!). It's not terrible, but it is entertaining enough if you're in the mood for prehistoric monster, pirates, and Jules Verne/Rudyard Kipling-like adventures. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this film,one of hammer films finest.well known michael ripper on many hammer films..a must see for any sci fi/horror fan.. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Although Hammer are one of the production companies with their name on this, it is an atypical Hammer Horror - it's set in the present for a start. The cast is a little lightweight and the monsters too imagined than out of myth as they usually are from this movie house.
