Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings 6 of 10
Irwin Allen is pretty strong on the eye candy; it's fun to see the submarine tooling around in the ocean and to observe all the gadgetry aboard. He also knows how to keep the action going, especially towards the end when we have several crises occur at once. I just wish he would make certain concessions to reality. The central crisis is patently ridiculous; the Van Allen Belt is a radioactive belt that follows the magnetic field of the earth outside of its atmosphere; not only is it incapable of bursting into flames, but there's no oxygen to sustain it if it does...Also, the movie never varies its level of tension; the ending of the movie should be a lot more exciting than any other part of the movie, but it feels just like every other scene. So the end result is that I never really believe that the world really is in danger and I just don't feel the necessary suspense. And I'm also afraid that this is another movie that shouldn't have a romantic theme song, even if Frankie Avalon is in the cast. - Dave Sindelar
