Audience Member I probably would have loved this film when I was 6...which I was in 1970. However, I didn't see it then. I saw it as an adult. This movie from the beginning is written by, directed and produced by and for anyone under the age of 9. Even then, Captain Nemo and the Underwater City is stagnant, the effects are piss poor. The only aspect about this movie that is tollerable are the sets, props and costumes. It looks like it was designed by Liberace himself. The sets and costumes are BRIGHT and gaudy. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A delicious fantasy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I first saw this as a child in the 70's and it has stayed with me in found memories ever since. I was only ever able to watch it on the chance it may pop up on British TV,but now after buying it through Amazon I can watch whenever I wish. It's one of those movies that I loved growing up and after watching it again I still do. It's an old family movie that I've always thought was done well. Put simply "innocent family fun" I just hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Robert Ryan plays the titular Jules Verne character. Chuck Connors plays a US Senator (???) who is among a group of survivors from a sinking ship rescued by Captain Nemo and his submarine crew. They're then taken to Nemo's underwater city, where the he's plotting to destroy the surface world. It's a pretty dull script, but the production design and special effects are enough to carry the film and make it worth watching.
