Editorial Review: Description: An atomic-powered rocket fired from White Sands Missile Base is lost in an unexplored region of the South Pacific. A military expedition is dispatched to find it. Searching by air, their plane loses control and crash-lands on a strange uncharted island--a lost world of prehistoric dinosaurs and vast radioactive uranium fields, so powerful that they cause rockets and planes to go off course. A beautifully crafted science fiction film starring Cesar Romero, Hugh Beaumont and John Hoyt. Excellent production values and a magnificent score highlight this legendary Atomic Age adventure, restored in the original theatrical version with the famous green-tinted 'lost world' sequences. A must-see for all sci-fi afficionados! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very Pleased...Unexpected. An interesting film. A little too much rock climbing for my taste; but, all in all, very enjoyable. Best scenes of dinosaurs in combat I've seen. Rating: - It's Great for its time...My favorite sci-fi movie, in fact my FAVORITE MOVIE. Why? It had a limited budget but with special effects including stop-motion animation and a "cheesy" theme. An atom-powered rocket...stock footage of a V-2 rocket taking off from White Sands in the early fifties...a 1941-vintage battleship (Arizona Class) with two main masts as a research vessel in the Pacific code-named "Neptune". "Top of the World" was a radar unit inside a mobile vehicle. Then why is it so good a movie? It ... Read More Rating: - Still a great movieA bit dated, but well acted. Better than I remembered from what was shown back in the 1950's on TV. Good cast and moves along well. Special effects were some of the best for the 1950's. Rating: - a lost classic from the early years.A classic "Lost fill in the blank" movie, with a plot and good acting, given the script they had to work with. The effects were not too bad for the time and the stars went on to better opportunities. Rating: - The Lost Continent - very good movie, fair special effectsThis movie has always been a special one for me. I thoroughly enjoy the thought that somewhere still in the pacific there maybe an island that harbors prehistoric life. This is why King Kong is one of my very favorites. Yet to be realistic, satellites most likely have scanned every spot on the globe and it is likely that some cigar/candy wrapper litter-bug has visited each and every lonely spot. The acting is quite good and the trek through the lost continent is superb ... Read More |
