Movie Reviews of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Season 4, Vol. 1
Movie Review: Good from the perspective of a 13-year-old
Summary: 3 Stars
First off, I was 11 when the "Voyage" series began in '64 and 14 when it ended its four-year-run in '68. I didn't see most of the episodes initially because we could only pick up the local regional ABC affiliate when the weather was bad. Oh, the days of rabbit ears!
With that said, I was a fan of anything with Irwin Allen's name on it; thus, I was big on "Lost in Space", "The Time Tunnel", and "Land of the Giants". Now, with the advent of DVD compilations, I can now travel down memory lane with these reissues of the classic shows of the period. Having purchased "Voyages" first three seasons, I didn't hesitate to add this latest release to my collection. However, I'll have to admit that the show had some glaring plot inconsistencies, inane dialog, fight scenes filmed at a distance to "hide" the stunt actors' faces, half-baked resolutions, cheesy costumes, and I'm-just-doing-this-for-the-paycheck-acting from Richard Basehart, a very good actor saddled with a show that didn't really showcase his immense talent.
In watching the first half of season 4, one begins to see the show like an old Road Runner cartoon with the various villains that pop-up being like Wile E. Coyote and the Seaview's crew more like the little speedy bird alluding capture. Occasionally, guest stars like Vincent Price ("The Deadly Dolls"), Victor Jory ("Fires of Death"), and Henry Jones ("Time to Die") bring a little spark to the frequently "water-logged" show, but those episodes are few and far between. Too many of the remaining ten featured in this half are retreads of earlier season one and two (superior years) installments.
But there are some pluses, including the continued fascinating model work of both The Seaview and The Flying Sub. I just wished the producers and writers had spent more time and effort on more believable stories that would've made this show live up to its potential. Another "bonus" is allowing the viewer to "play all" on one side should've been a feature on previous releases.
On the negative side again, Fox really scrimps on the release, "resurrecting" the pilot episode for a THIRD time, having no real extras, and not even using the fourth season's revamped intro on all episodes in this collection.
However, though I was disappointed with this first half, I still anticipate the final compilation for it contains one of my favorite installments, "Man-Beast".
As soon as it's on sale, I will be buying it.
