Irwin Allen, master of the disaster film and one of the preeminent purveyors of sci-fi television in the 1960s, offers a tantalizing preview of his special effects marvels to come in the 1970s with his 1961 adventure Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Strictly popcorn fodder, the film nevertheless is a fun viewing experience thanks to a top-notch cast of stars and sterling featured players, terrific special effects, and the Cinemascope format which was the perfect vehicle (no pun intended) for delivering the story of a massively long atomic submarine on a perilous mission which in some ways functions as a precursor to the effects of today’s global warming.
