Good film, Very Good Edition
As always, The Pilot VTTBOTS is in some ways superior to the series. A pretty suspensful film, well written, good color special FX...the 'Global Warming' Addition to the DVD is great, and *also* includes some excellent history of Science Fiction. Get this edition if you buy the film.

"Global Warming Edition"?
You've got to be kidding. Is there nothing sacred that the "capitalists in hippie clothing" global warmies won't desecrate?

Absolutely shameless.

This classic 1960s fantasy was just that, a fun but ridiculous fantasy - not a prediction of things to come. It was created in the day when every problem that mankind faced was solved with a nuke. It was also created in a day when the atmosphere was a heck of a lot more polluted than it is today.

Slapping a "Global Warming" label on this movie is almost as utterly absurd as the religion that Global Warming has become. With NASA data showing that the hottest years on record are all in the 1930s (1934 being the hottest), and the coldest, record-setting years on record are 2006, 2007 and 2008, I'm dumbfounded as to how many "sheeple" buy into this global warming propaganda.

"....A truly must have for fans of the TV series......"
This is the movie that started it all for VTTBOTS fans, they cleaned it up, added some extras, repackaged it on it's own (used to be on a disc with FANTASTIC VOYAGE) and what a fine job they did too, an all-star cast with Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lorre, Frankie Avalon & Barbara Eden are all aboard the submarine Seaview on top of the world on sea trials for what everyone calls "Nelson's Folly" but while under the ocean, Seaview will be put to a test that could determine the fate of the whole world, a radiation belt around earth has ignited and is ablaze and threatens the world with extinction and of course, it'll be up to submarine Seaview to save us from destruction............Will they?, I guess you'll just have to buy this terrific movie and find out, A MUST for any DVD collector.

Remember when you were 11 and just strung together a lot of nonsense?
I like this for its free-wheeling approach to coherence and logic. So much of the plot -- from barbara eden as a crew member, the pseudo-science behind the atmosphere catching fire, the vaguely foreign guy with the little dog, to the comic-book political characterizations -- is highly reminiscent of what a kid would dream up on the spot. Don't take this too seriously and you'll enjoy it more.

Classic Sci-fi
This was another one of Irwin Allen's big screen productions. For a 1960's era movie, it's really not that bad. This movie launched the TV series of the same name, which I would watch every week. I liked the crew of the TV series better, Richard Basehart (Admiral) and David Hedison (Captain) of the Seaview (sub). The TV series were much more intersting, but don't let that spoil your viewing of this movie. This movie has a solid cast and the Seaview is wonderous as ever, minus the Sea Saucer (came later in the TV series).
