i think one of the most disappointing thing in this film be the role of john mclaren . it the same actor ( paul hubschmid and who be sometimes bill a paul christian ) from the beast from 20 and 000 fathom . for one thing and it not even his voice in the dubbing . he seem emotionless 95 % of the time . other character development be only so so . i do get a kick out of all the old machinery . the plot be ok but not original . the movie seem to just plod along without much in the way of action . the cinematography be very good ( from italy mario bava ) . i expect much more from this movie but the fact that i only pay $ 5 . 00 for it make it a little good for me to tolerate . i wish this movie be as good a i anticipate .
