Movie Reviews of The Fabulous World Of Jules Verne
Movie Review: A unique experiment in film that needs re-release.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Fabulous World of Jules Verne.
First of all, I would recommend that you take a look at this film on YouTube, where
you can see it saved in 8 parts. This would both save me much explanation and wet your appetite.
Even there, the quality has suffered greatly, but you can get an idea
of what the film was shooting for. It was filmed in Mystimation which tried to capture the feel of
the earliest photographic equipment and the feel of wonder around the turn of the century. I saw a
very good print of this movie about twenty years ago, and it is well worth the experience. There are
as yet, very few films that fit into the relatively new genre of 'Steam-punk' but this film should be
enshrined as it's great grandfather and is a must have for affectianados of that genre, Sci-fi and
Classic film. I urge you to add your voice to a call for a remastered version to be released on dvd.
