Customer Reviews of The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms
Rude Awakening A monstrous terror from the past is unleashed in the Sci-Fi classic "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms". An atomic blast near the Arctic Circle releases a prehistoric giant trapped in ice over 100-million years. The powerful creature leaves a trail of death and destruction upon surfacing in New York City. "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" is a landmark monster movie that honors legendary FX genius Ray Harryhausen's talents. The film's impressive visual effects and Ray Bradbury's well-paced storyline has changed the "monster on the rampage" film genre. The cast includes Paul Christian, Paula Raymond, Kenneth Tobey and Lee Van Cleef (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly). The film is presented in full frame format. The DVD contains a sharp and detailed video transfer and a clear dolby surround sound. The extras include trailers of the film and other creature favorites, interviews and a behind-the-scene featurette. Fans of classic Sci-Fi will be impressed with its presentation and it scores a solid "B".
ONE GOOD MOVIE!
Monster movies don't get much better. Paul Christian is a nuclear scientist sure his partner was killed by a monster only he has seen. Of corse nobody believes him, until a paleontologist helps him link several sea disasters and accounts of a sea serpent together, to prove to the military this is a true concern. This comes all-to late when the giant animal (a rhedosaurus) surfaces in wall street, leveling several bloks, cars, and people in his wake. Finally the six story menace is burnt to a cinder when it's trapt within the Coney Island rollercoaster. This was the best 50's "dinosaur (or monster) on the loose" movie. Paula Raymond is Christian's girlfriend, and Cecil Kellaway is the paleontologist. Special effects by the legendary Ray Harryhausen, and based on popular fiction author Ray Bradburry.
Middling sci-fi adventure
This film is an okay horror entry that packed a wallop in 1953 but is rather tame by today's standards. The special effects of the rhedosaurus are quite good when the beast rampages through lower Manhattan, showing the ferocious prehistoric dinosaur to chilling effect as it lurches through the streets with frightened New Yorkers fleeing for their lives. In one scene, a blind man with a cane is literally trampled by panicked citizens as they race for safety. There isn't much of a story here, just the trite formula of a beast being awakened by an atomic blast after being frozen in the Arctic tundra for ages. The rhedosaurus makes its way down the Northeast coast, destroying fishing vessels and lighthouses until it hits the Bowery. The cast is comprised of veteran character actors who try to corral the monster and destroy it. A good part of the film shows scientist Tom Nesbitt trying to convince people of the dinosaur's existence but nobody believes him until it's too late.
