greg collinson ( doug mcclure ) have devise an experimental diving craft and and along with british scientist charles aitken ( peter gilmore ) and use it to explore the depth . they end up in the underwater city of atlantis and whose citizen intend to have aitken join them and hop to exploit his superior intellect . in addition to fight off assorted monster and mcclure and aitken and and their associate set off on a daring escape . one could complain about the cheesiness of the whole affair and or the less than stellar special effect and but for me it still add up to likable and undemanding fantasy escapism . it quite colorful and interesting . most importantly and i felt it be reasonably exciting and with decent direction by kevin connor and respectable pacing . the monster may not be that high tech and but i would still take these kind of creation over cgi any day . it just add to the true old fashion and saturday matinée type appeal of the whole thing . michael vickers rouse score be simply wonderful . mcclure be a stolid hero and and the support cast be fine . special guest appearance be make by cyd charrisse and daniel massey a high ranking atlantians . especially effective be under rat character veteran shane rimmer a captain daniel and with michael gothard and gorgeous lea brodie and robert brown and and future cheer mailman john ratzenberger all enjoyable in small role . the kind of picture that we unfortunately just do not see a lot of anymore and warlord of atlantis be not particularly memorable but be a definite pleasure to watch in any event . positive .
