Another Irwin Allen sci-fi gem comes to Blu-ray. Here’s another film that has been copied so much that the original property gets diluted as a result. The science portion of the film is ludicrous at times. A submarine trip to the bottom of the ocean is going to prevent fiery meteors from destroying the earth? Best not to think too deeply, and just enjoy the excellent practical effects that were way ahead of their time. What the film lacks in scientific credibility it more than makes up for it in entertainment value. The Seaview Submarine is very cool, and the miniature work is fun to spot in high definition. As for picture quality–it’s pretty sweet. Not a perfect transfer, but the film looks amazing. The audio work is even better. Great use of the rear and side channels provide a nice sense of ambiance–especially for effects like the sonar pinging. Classic science-fiction and a must own for collectors.
