Movie Reviews of Undersea Kingdom
Movie Review: If you loved "Phantom Empire"......
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the same sort of fun stuff as the "Phantom Empire" serial, starring Gene Autry... only this one mostly takes place at the bottom of the ocean.
The hero is Ray "Crash" Corrigan, a revered young U.S. Naval officer who is called in to investigate the cause of a rash of various natural disasters which appear to have happened unexpectedly around the planet. Of course the evil Unga Kahn is literally at the root of the problem in his undersea city. He plans to eventually emerge from his Atlantis and take over the earth after he has brought everyone to their knees by using his ingenious machine which causes the earth to shudder under these various natural disasters.
The whole story evolves into a "sci-fi undersea western" of sorts, complete with horses, chariots, helmeted warriors, rockets, and very cool robots ("Volkites," who gad about with ray guns in a speedy Juggernaut), once Corrigan gets to the scene of the action via submarine. There is a "good faction," the nemesis of Unga Kahn, in the undersea civilization and Corrigan teams up with this group in an effort to overcome the sinister tyrant. Two featured stars whom viewers may connect with include Monte Blue (Unga Kahn) and Lon Chaney, Jr. (as Kahn's minion).
This fine old Republic serial (1936) was originally marketed in two separate volumes (still available), each in its own packaging. Here, you get both discs in one package. The film runs for a total of 230 minutes over 12 chapters.
Of course this one is shot in black-and-white and the aspect is full screen. Yes, it's campy and ludicrous, but I love it!
My highest recommendation to appropriate viewers.
