Right behind that other Connor classic "The Land That Time Forgot", comes for me this low-budget cult fantasy. -I mean, rubber monsters all over the place, and childhood hero McClure; what more do you want from life ?. I'll just never get tired of watching those brave characters go below the deep ocean surface, in that magnificent diving bell of theirs. I've watched this adventure favourite God knows how many times, and it's still as exciting as the first time I saw it. Don't cheat yourself of the-poor-man's "Raiders Of The Lost Ark".

At the end of the 19th century, a group of adventurers headed by an archaeologist (Donald Bisset) and including his son (Peter Gilmore) and the engineer (Doug McClure) of the diving bell they will use, plumb the sea depths in search of the lost city of Atlantis. They find it but the Atlanteans are anything but friendly, could it be the hideous wigs they're forced to wear? This rather silly underwater adventure is strictly matinee fare for the kids. The cast are in constant danger by a barrage of rubber monsters right out of a Japanese Toho movie which are more endearing than frightening. My favorite was the rubber flying fish leaping out of the waters and sinking their teeth, piranha like, into the humans. The film could have used Ray Harryhausen to work some of his magic. Directed by Kevin Connor. With Cyd Charisse, showing that at age 57 she still had the best gams in the business, Daniel Massey and Shane Rimmer.
The Studio Canal DVD is a nice wide screen (1.78) transfer.

2.0 out of 5 stars
A long way from the best of the Doug McClure-Kevin Connor-John Dark fantasy adventures
7 Dec 2012
Format:DVD
Warlords of Atlantis is pretty formulaic stuff: explorers spend first half hour looking for Atlantis, second half hour finding out they don't like it and the last half hour escaping from it. Throw in a giant octopus, a dinosaur, assorted monsters and aliens with outrageous wigs guiding man's destiny from the bottom of the sea, the captain of the Marie Celeste, a bit of H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon, add Doug McClure and leave to simmer for 90 minutes before wondering why this isn't as much fun as it should be or why Mike Vickers' score bears so many similarities to a slow-tempo version of Barry Gray and Malcolm Lockyer's score for Dr Who and The Daleks.
The DVD boasts a decent but not outstanding widescreen print but unlike the earlier Cinema Club release which included UK theatrical trailer and stills gallery, StudioCanal's release is extras-free.
