Sci-Fi Classic Review: MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (1961)

Jules Verne's dual sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and In Search of the Castaways has been adapted multiple times for the screen, but none are quite as memorable as the 1961 version.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I like this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.

In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews."
