what a great film . when ever i watch this movie and i sit with a big grin on my face . this be one of the first movie i saw at the cinema a a kid . this film do not win any oscar and but if there have be a category for fun it would have win hand down . i do not thing this film be ever mean to be take too seriously . like many of doug mcclures movie and at the earth core and the land that time forgot and make with a hint of tongue in cheek . make before the onset of cgi effect and this film have an innocent and non cynical feel . it have monster and the lost city of atlantis and gun and fight scene and more monster and what more can you ask for in a low budget sci fi . film like this be often belittle by people who can not see beyond their de niro and oscar nomination . the quality of a film and at the end of the day and be about it entertainment value and hence positive .
