Mason is charming, caustic and debonair, and the whole affair is captivating, silly fun.

Enjoyable hokum sci-fi tale that's based on an 1864 Jules Verne story.

It's one of the very best Hollywood adventure movies, with lots of monsters, underground oceans, sinister villains, and touches which would have delighted Jules Verne himself.

It may well be second to KING KONG (1933) as the film I have seen the greatest number of times.

By standards of the time, the special effects of Hollywood's first (but not the only) version of Jules Verne's sci-fi classic were good and nominated for Oscars; they lost out to Ben-Hur, which swept all the awards.

Fun for the whole family, and—instead of the 2008 3-D version's Brendan Fraser—offers James freakin' Mason, who can pull off urbane and befuddled at the same time. [Blu-ray]

Twentieth Century Fox pulled out all the stops - and the giant mushrooms - for this silly spectacle...

There's a rolling-boulder scene that almost certainly inspired Spielberg and Lucas when they initially dreamed up Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Peter Ronson's lovable lunk Hans seems like a live-action template of Frozen's Kristoff.

Still captivating despite the obviously dated effects.

A fanciful sci-fi tale for the whole family.

It's really not very striking make-believe, when all is said and done.
