Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

mccanlessdesign Wonderful, fun movie I've remembered always.I saw this when it came out; learned that Iceland was the closest place in concept. Finally visited last month - stunning.I stood in Leif Erikson's actual house foundations - how cool is that!

trojans7 this is what a good family film is all about. simple great fun with wonder and adventure. my two daughters and i just watched it, and they where wooing and arring at all the right spots.that is all a good yarn has to do, take the kids on a 90min adventure and send them to bed with wonder.so its all a lot of hockem but thats half the fun.you don't need the latest state of the art f/x just a passion to tell a good story.but i feel this was state of the are back in 1974 so maybe a remake today would be just as good you never no they remade clash of the titans anything is possable. this Disney production was directed by robert stevenson a Disney work horse. who did may fine films for the studio,including mary poppins and herbie films. if your a gen x you would have grow-in up on his work.so it worth a rent. add it to your list of must see classics and surprise your kids they wont regret it.

gvasques does this movie contain a sequence where a map and a "key" is rotated on the map to determine what i remember as a route to somewhere north. i am 41 now and the memory only remains of a map scene and where i saw it. any help will be appreciated. i Saw w the movie i on the main line and i think it was a Disney film, though i could be wrong. Any help finding the title of the movie i seek would be appreciated. not sure about the ten line thing bu i am a newbie and just want to find the title of the movie where there is a part in the beginning of the movie where the main characters use a map and someone rotates a key or thing on the map and lines it up with geography and determines the route or path they must take to get to whatever the movie gets them to.

Todd Kramer My dad took me to see this one in the theater back in 1974 when I was 7 years old. It blew me away and helped fuel a lifelong love for adventure/fantasy. Hey, who doesn't like a cool adventure? The story is set in the early 1900's and concerns a rich Englishman who leads a rescue party deep into the Arctic in search of his missing explorer son. They track him to a mysterious lost colony of Vikings that has been cut off from the outside world for centuries. The plot is a fairly typical "Lost World" format: 1/3rd of the movie is spent searching for the lost world, 1/3rd is spent exploring the lost world, 1/3rd is spent being chased around/from the lost world. It's all fairly exciting, but not deep enough to impress an adult viewer. (However, with some deft tweaking this could be GREAT remake material for Disney.) I bought the DVD recently to take a trip down memory lane and I wasn't disappointed. It held up well to my memory. Yes, the effects are dated and some of them are downright terrible, but others are surprisingly good, and overall the film has a wonderful pre-CGI charm. You'll also get vibrant outdoor shots and some of the best matte work you'll find in ANY movie. It's not a bad choice for adventure/fantasy fans looking for family-friendly fare. Probably your only chance to see this film anymore is on DVD. Be sure to get the 30th anniversary edition as it has the extras.
