Movie Reviews of The Sinbad Collection (7th Voyage / Golden Voyage / Eye of the Tiger)

Movie Review: Classic Harryhausen
Summary: 4 Stars

Some very good reviews have already been written to describe the plot, actors and Harryhausens contribution to this (and most of his similar creations). What I will add is that if you were 7 to 17 years old when you first saw these movies they probably stirred your imagination as well as your sense of adventure. Watching them again now at age 45 was a real hoot. On the cover, I think Kerwin Mathews looks pretty wimpy with that pose and expression but in the film he is actually as convining as any of the actors who played the Sinbad roll. Kathryn Grant is quite a doll in her roll as the princess. The extra features on this disk are really cool if you are a fan of Harryhausen's work or the methods used to create the special effects. The included trailers for other movies may remind you of movies you forgot or introduce you to others you'll likely also want to see.

Summary of The Sinbad Collection (7th Voyage / Golden Voyage / Eye of the Tiger)

Golden voyage eye of tiger 7th voyage Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 11/15/2005
A skeleton grabs a sword and slashes viciously at Sinbad. A 9-foot-tall Neanderthal man fights to the death with a saber-toothed tiger. All the while, the boys and girls in the fourth row forget about their popcorn and are hypnotized by the images on the screen. It's hard to believe so many years have passed since the last Sinbad movie held kids spellbound at Saturday matinees. The movies were never perfect, with stories that were sometimes little more than frameworks to drape Ray Harryhausen's special effects over. The performances left a bit to be desired at times, and the direction could be a bit choppy. What they did accomplish, however, was to give countless 8- and 10-year-olds their first taste of the magic that motion pictures were really capable of. Those grade-schoolers, of course, took with them an appreciation of that movie mojo that would extend to films like 2001, Star Wars, and countless other movies in the sci-fi and fantasy genres.

Ray Harryhausen was the preeminent special effects wizard in Hollywood for decades. With credits that date back to 1949's King Kong remake Mighty Joe Young, Harryhausen brought his creatures to life with painstaking stop-motion animation, with a realism that no one else's work could touch. Computers now do all the heavy lifting for cinematic special effects, and although the techniques of CGI are often time-consuming and tedious, they can't match the artistry and warmth of a Harryhausen Cyclops or troglodyte creature. Too often it's tempting to see beyond the eyeball-dislodging effects of a CGI dinosaur and picture a technician toiling away in front of a computer. Considering the tedious frame-by-frame repositioning of stop-motion figures, something like the six-armed Kali figure in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is astonishing in the untold hours of labor that went into giving it life. Even more mind-boggling is the fact that it comes alive with grace and fluidity, without a trace of abruptness or jerkiness.

It's always a good time to revisit the Sinbad series, for all its imperfections and flaws. The movies are still tremendously entertaining escapist fare, still capable of inspiring new generations of budding movie buffs to create imaginary worlds with the magic of movies. --Jerry Renshaw
