Audience Member I can't quite understand the extremely low rating this film has. Come on people, it's a cheesy 🧀 "sci-fi" / adventure from 1951. What are you expecting of this film ? I personally enjoyed it a lot. (And of course took it for what it was/is). It's an adventure about people who go "into" the Earth to find out if humanity could survive there (for X amount of time) -in case of an all-out nuclear war. I enjoyed it ! Why would you watch films about giant robots who can turn into cars, but scoff at the "scientific inaccuracies" in this one ?? I don't get that - at all❗ I recommend it (and be aware of when it was made, the state of the world in 1951.....) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Martin B Has to be a candidate for one of the worst 50's era scifi movies ever made. A certain amount of poetic license is understood in these movies but this mess takes so many liberties with geology and science it's embarrassing. Add in horrible acting, a silly script, and bad visuals and you're watching a one hour and 14 minute train wreck. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review James H This movie is terrible. The Unknown World film should remain unknown to all of mankind. If these people were still alive, I would call them up and give them a piece of my mind. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Audience Member just OK B movie fare Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A team of scientists explore underneath the Earth's crust and discover no mole people or other points of interest. Boring, cheap, and pointless. This "adventure" film is from producer Robert Lippert, which means lots of rock climbing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member There's a lot not going on here, and it takes forever for very little to happen. The characters aren't interesting, and the plot is simple but very stretched out. There's not a lot to enjoy from this film, but it isn't all bad I suppose. It has some interesting sci-fi concepts.
