| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperIt may well be second to KING KONG (1933) as the film I have seen the greatest number of times. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeBig, glossy, entertaining if not exactly compelling. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzEnjoyable hokum sci-fi tale that's based on an 1864 Jules Verne story. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThere's a rolling-boulder scene that almost certainly inspired Spielberg and Lucas when they initially dreamed up Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Peter Ronson's lovable lunk Hans seems like a live-action template of Frozen's Kristoff. |
| The SpectatorIsabel QuiglyThe best value in nonsense for a very long time. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseFun for the whole family, and—instead of the 2008 3-D version's Brendan Fraser—offers James freakin' Mason, who can pull off urbane and befuddled at the same time. [Blu-ray] |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyBy standards of the time, the special effects of Hollywood's first (but not the only) version of Jules Verne's sci-fi classic were good and nominated for Oscars; they lost out to Ben-Hur, which swept all the awards. |
| Common Sense MediaRandy WhiteA fanciful sci-fi tale for the whole family. |
| Empire MagazineIan NathanStill captivating despite the obviously dated effects. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewIt's one of the very best Hollywood adventure movies, with lots of monsters, underground oceans, sinister villains, and touches which would have delighted Jules Verne himself. |
