Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

bnwfilmbuff Dull outing about a group of scientists and a financier embarking on a journey to find a refuge to escape what they have determined to be near certain nuclear holocaust by drilling into the earth. Reminiscent of "At The Earth's Core", this has none of the charm of that movie. Instead it focuses on a lot of pseudo scientific mumbo jumbo. The group goes down in a special vehicle called a Cyclotram but it doesn't do much. Much of the movie appears to be shot in a cave. There is the requisite conflict between the financier and one of the scientist. Nothing happens in this. Bad waste of time.

Rainey Dawn I like a lot of the older, slower sci-fi films but this one is super boring. It's extremely drab, flat, one dimensional and nothing happens. It just them drilling and drilling for most of the film. The exciting thing that happens is when the finally pop out and see water. That's as exciting as it gets - they see water. OK there's a little bit more to the water stuff in the ending but by the time you get to that point your either asleep or just really don't care.If you are gonna watch the film, there is no need in watching it normally, just hit the fast-forward button and watch it that way because the dialogue is as interesting as the sock-lent between my toes.1/10

Matthew_Capitano A group of geonauts consisting of seven fuddy-duddy scientists including one sexy chick take a trip down into the earth's inner core so they can find a 'haven' from the threat of the atomic bomb.Dark and ultimately boring, this little thing is at least a bit different. Victor Killian is the leader, but he looks as though he'd rather be at a Brooklyn Dodgers game. Marilyn Nash is the female on board the drilling car -- too bad we don't get to see her topless... that would have helped the movie immensely. Bruce Kellogg plays the shallow millionaire financing the expedition. About as exciting as it sounds.Directed by Terry Morse. Cave scenes filmed in Arizona.

dougdoepke Cheapjack Lippert Pictures had an unexpected success with Rocketship XM (1950). I expect this little slice of sci-fi was intended as a follow-up (check out the similar opening scenes). However, instead of burrowing into outer space in a rocketship, these adventurers burrow into inner earth in what looks like a fat submarine with a drill for a nose.They're playing mole because staying on top like everyone else looks like sure death thanks to nuclear weapons. So six hardy Adams and one Eve set out in their big drill to found a new world and refuge for humanity. Naturally, things don't go entirely as expected, otherwise there'd be no movie. And, of course, not all seven survive.Actually, the special effects aren't bad considering the challenges of a fantastic inner earth. Then too, I'm surprised Lippert popped for location shooting all the way to New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns. However, it's also a no-name cast that unfortunately performs like one, except for Killian and Nash who manage a few sparks of life. All in all, it's an interestingly offbeat slice of 50's sci-fi despite the big cheese factor.(In passing—thanks IMDb for the info on Killian's billing or I should say lack of billing. Killian was one of those distinctive supporting players who could make any movie better.)
