Special effects winner
When I first saw this film in 1971 on KING-TV in Seattle as a kid, I had no idea it had won an Emmy for best special effects or that the screenplay had been written by Star Trek producer John Meredyth Lucas.

All I knew was that it was a wonderfully clean and futuristic looking film, with lots of action and exciting situations. For fans of Irwin Allen’s previous TV shows, it’s a treasure house of familiar faces and reused props. James Darren, Robert Colbert and Whit Bissell are here from “Time Tunnel,” as is Richard Basehart and Robert Dowdell from “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.” The glowing red planetoid, which still looks fantastic as it approaches the Earth, had previously been a glowing GREEN planetoid used for “Land of the Giants”. Even the main title music for this film is background music from “Land of the Giants”. The opening shots of the flying sub (stock footage from Voyage) is straight from the negative, and looks incredible. The film also boosts many new effects as well and impressive sets. It would have been a great TV series, something more ambitious for the early 1970s than “Invisible Man” or “Six Million Dollar Man”. A fun ride.

super salad bowl movie: Yosei gorath meets James Bond meets UFO meets…
This movie might be dubbed the king of salad bowl movies, with so many subplots and genres mixed… 1 a James Bond subplot about some Swiss crime agency planning to steal huge amounts of gold. 2 a Yosei Gorasu rip-off subplot about a planetoid of exceptional mass colliding with earth, diverted using nuclear missiles (cfr Meteor with Sean Connery ). 3 a hero-in-distress subplot about an admiral falsely accused of murder 4 a mutant able to breathe under water (later copied in “the man from Atlantis” with Patrick Duffy ) 5 a secret underwater nuclear warhead base. 6 the underwater experimental city in which research is held to produce plancton-based foods subplot (cfr Soylent Green & H&B cartoon Sealab 2020 in 1977 ). 7 costumes, trying to imagine new fashion, are reminiscent of UK UFO. 8 all women look like beauty contestants wearing minidresses & high-heels (cfr Star Trek, UFO etc ). 9 the friend-turned-traitor conspiracy subplot.

This said, it’s a short & enjoyable, unpretentious movie. SFX look very dated ( the piles of gold bullions are clearly carton boxes ) but retain that 1960-ish charm, extended to the whole movie, typical of UFO & other productions using perhaps too many garage sale toys and miniatures. Acting is negligible, with iconic characters playing their part: the scheming traitor; the coward hireling of the traitor; the belle who changes her mind; the hero… Forsyth’s and Miranda’s pretty legs and face are the best part of acting i guess. However, it is an easy movie for some relaxing time. You are not supposed to find 1984 (1954, with Peter Cushing ) acting or Matrix SFX in a 1960ish movie with toys & miniatures…are you? To watch more than once.
