About par for it's time. But the music slapped onto it... I would hardly call it a "score", someone just dropped a needle on some orchestral recordings. They are obviously recent recordings; I don't seriously believe they are public domain. Fine movie - awful music 3 robcat2075 2006-05-01 00:22:23 2006-05-01 00:22:23 We're working on a new sound track for this movie, wanta help! someone went to a lot of trouble to produce this "Adventure" petty forward thinking too! (like the Nature girl lost on the island great stuff!) We feel it deserves a new sound and some time! Check on our progress! http;//westwindmultimedia.com We thought the music was bad too! 4 Leo@Westwind Studios 2006-08-15 23:40:56 2006-08-15 23:40:56 By 1916, Hollywood was in full swing enough to make a truly remarkable movie like this one. Not only does it feature the first underwater sequences ever shown in a feature film, but it has a compelling story (based on the Jules Verne novel and well-told), striking cinematography, and amazing special effects for its time. There was obviously a lot of effort and care put into this film, especially when you get to near the end and Captain Nemo begins telling his backstory––the film then switches to some elaborate and expensive scenes of Nemo's former life in India, including elaborate sets, exotically-costumed crowds, and battle sequences. This comes at the end of a movie featuring elaborate scenes of sea voyages, underwater photography, a submarine made for the film, and desert island survival sequences. The film holds up extremely well today––it's one of the most exciting and entertaining early films I've seen. Only one moment will make you even think of snickering, and that's the scene with the giant octopus. The creature itself is silly-looking, but the fact that it was even attempted, and attempted underwater, way back in 1916 is nevertheless impressive. A 1916 Universal film. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: *****. Meanwhile, in India... 5 Christine Hennig 2006-08-19 18:55:05 2006-08-19 18:55:05 4 4.25
