Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
Still fun, but dated special effects.
Kansas City Kansan
Rating: C+ --
Watchable only because of the terrific stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Joan Greenwood's regally unflappable Lady Mary Fairchild proves again ... that her voice distills Victoria's Empire to the creamy consistency of warm butterscotch pudding.

Rating: 7/10 --
...a wonderful piece of sci-fi/fantasy with solid acting, a crackerjack script, and otherwise timeless Harryhausen wonder.

The Retro Set
Rating: 7/10 --
A peppy film, helped along considerably by the inherent eye candy that comes along with setting a film in the Pacific... Harryhausen at his best.

Antagony & Ecstasy
Rating: 3/4 --
Allows Ray Harryhausen to showcase some superb stop-motion animation effects and the great Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, Psycho, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) to add another smashing score to his resume.

Rating: 4/5 --
Harryhausen's special effects plus a Hermmann score, unbeatable.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The tale is legendary. The terrors are real. The adventure is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Take a journey eight thousand miles off the coast of America—into the complete unknown…
Five prisoners of war escape captivity in a Confederate prison camp only to land in an uncharted Pacific island where time stands still and dastardly pirates don't take kindly to strangers in director Russell Mulcahy's screen adaptation of fantasy author Jules Verne's literary classic. They thought they were on their way to freedom when they leapt into a balloon and took to the skies, but upon landing on an island where nothing is as it seems, these escapees are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. From bloodthirsty beasts to murderous pirates and a mad genius named Captain Nemo (Patrick Stewart), treachery lurks behind every corner on this island, and if these five survivors have any hope of staying alive, they'll have to fight to their dying breaths to escape the island and get back to the modern world.
Based on the classic novel by Jules Verne and starring Kyle MacLachlan (TV's Twin Peaks), Gabrielle Anwar (TV's Burn Notice), Vinnie Jones (Snatch), and Omar Gooding (Baby Boy) - prepare for the ultimate adventure of terror, wonder, and survival!
