great 50's sci-fi B-movie!
20 Aug 2000
This movie probably gets overlooked because of the title, which seems incredibly dull and unimaginative for such a cool flick. I think it should have been called "The Superatomic Submarine vs. the Flying Saucer" because that is what the movie is really about and it sounds much more exciting. The movie has everything a fan of 50's sci-fi B-movies would want. The story is a unique twist on the flying saucer theme because this saucer can travel under water, and you get two classic sci-fi vehicles for the price of one because this flying saucer takes on a futuristic (remember this was the 1950's) submarine. The parts that take place inside the saucer are very creepy. During these scenes, a pitch black background and cool creepy music are used to maximum effect. There are few funny lines in the movie, especially the ones where the hero is talking to the alien who, by the way, will not disappoint those who love cheesy cool aliens in their sci-fi movies. I have three words for B-movie fans: SEE IT NOW!

A CLASSIC from the days of Friday-night "Creature Features"
6 Jan 1999
Amazon Verified Purchase
Ah, me - who would have guessed this movie would one day emerge into the light of day after being (apparently) submerged for years in fan-video limbo? This tidbit used to be a staple of the "Late Late Show" circuit - after the parents had gone to bed, the less critically demanding kids would have *their* kind of flick to watch.
Never mind the preposterous assumptions (like huge passenger-carrying atomic submarines cruising under the polar ice cap!). We all tuned in for the weird Theramin-like music and the gooey, drippy one-eyed, tentacled alien. In fact, he looks a LOT like the ones you see on the Halloween episodes of the Simpsons!
Long available only through specialty video outlets (at "special" prices!), this is really an inexpensive trip down memory lane for those of us who first saw it through our fingers in front of our eyes by the flickering light of the boob tube after everyone else had retired. It boasts a "Who's Who" of bit-part and character actors of the genre, some actually effective footage *inside* the underwater UFO, and that totally classic alien. Go on - you KNOW you want to see it! Why ELSE did you look this one up?!?! ;-)

Great viewing fun!
14 Jun 2001
I found this flick to bring back pleasant memories of when I used to watch movies like this as a child, in stark raving terror of course. The special effects are warmly corny, and that goes for the alien too. But I can assure you, to a 9 year old boy, this was shear horror! I highly recommend it to those who love the old black and white.
