Synopsis

Set fifteen years in the then-future year 1983, the series tells the tale of the crew and passengers of a sub-orbital transport ship named Spindrift. In the pilot episode, the Spindrift is en route from Los Angeles to London, on an ultra-fast sub-orbital flight. Just beyond Earth's boundary with space, the Spindrift encounters a magnetic space storm, and is dragged through a space warp to a mysterious planet where everything is twelve times larger than on Earth, whose inhabitants the Earthlings nickname "the Giants". The Spindrift crash-lands, and the damage renders it inoperable.

ada the leading man is my tpye
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
pepjrp-423-512181 I also grew up with and enjoyed immensely all the shows, especially "Land of the Giants". I thought all of the European American actors & actresses as well as the African American played great roles. For a 11 year old kid at the time, it was very realistic and intriguing. I couldn't wait for the next weakly episode. I especially love watching now almost as much as back then, since when the show was new, we only had an old black & white TV at home that had poor reception and a blurry screen as that was the only way I got to view the show. Now I see them in a whole new and colorful clear light. It makes it almost seem like this is the first time I am seeing them.
tinoburke I Grew Up as a child watching Land Of The Giants and was amazed and pulled into the fantasy, what I liked about the show first was that even though the country was in a race conflict at the time that the character Dan, who is African American was adapted into the show and not once was race an issue or brought up so I thought of him no different(To Bad actors like Will Smith Keep reminding us he is Black)getting away from that I had a crush on Valerie my first and I wanted to be Steve the cool guy and Mark was also cool,later when I saw Star Wars Harrison Ford reminded me of how much his Han Solo looked like an almost was like Mark from the show,and fitzu was perfect we did not need a copy cat of Dr Smith,it was to bad it was canceled and a movie is not in the works, I had not seen the show from the time I was 8 years till I was in my 30s on fx and getting a chance to see it as a child and adult I was amazed how great the special effects really were for a show that did not have computers and the loved it even more, thank you Irwin Allen and the cast for entertaining me in my life and the great work Land of The Giants did ( I miss my lunch box)
BumpyRide This show had so much going for it early on but like many an Irwin Allen production, things always go from good to bad. The earlier episodes had the giants talking in muted, distorted tones giving them an evil presence. You also couldn't quite see all of them. It was truly quite creepy, and you really weren't sure if they were on Earth or some strange Nazi like parallel planet. But after a few episodes the giants, and the scripts, became mediocre with the "little people" escaping from some giants evil laboratory every week. This show is also famous for disappearing cast members. Barry would disappear from time to time, as well as his dog, but none vanished as quickly as Betty. Even when she was around, she didn't have much to do. All eyes were on Valerie, so Betty got relegated to keeping an eye on the space ship. It's surprising that this has not been adapted into a full length motion picture. With the technology today they could do so much more than have a big rubber hand come lumbering in and pick up a screaming Valerie.
b_e3Kpi I first watched this Irwin Allen sci-fi series when it was shown in the late 80s on Channel 4 in the UK. I found it a lot more entertaining than Allen's other creations "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea", "Lost in Space", etc.Yes, the special effects and props used were basic, but this was obviously in line with what was available in 1968-70. In my view, it was mostly the late Kurt Kasznar's acting that carried the series. Kurt played the role of Alexander Fitzhugh, one of the stranded Spindrift's passengers. He formed a close fatherly bond with Barry (played by child actor Stefan Arngrim), the youngest member of the stranded group. Fitzhugh was seldom co-operative with other members of the party. He loved his wisecracks, was always hungry, and was rather selfish. He was understandably desperate to return to Earth, but with or without the others (including Barry!).It was quite obvious that actors Gary Conway, Don Marshall, and some of the others performed most, if not all, of their own stunts. This provided a touch more realism to the series.I'll always remember guest star Michael Ansara's evil laugh in the episode "On a clear night you can see Earth". I watched the whole series again when it was rerun on BSkyB's sci-fi channel. Excellent entertainment for all age groups!My rating : 8.5 out of 10!
