Though neither as radical as previous productions – particularly the famous Island of Lost Souls – nor as well-crafted as its Brando-infested successor, this version of H.G. Wells’ famous tale has much to recommend it. Sure, Michael York and Burt Lancaster eat more than their share of the scenery, and the beast-men makeup is more than a little crude by today’s standards. Nonetheless, the script remains reasonably faithful to the source material. Overall the movie a good job of portraying the theme of unethical, inhuman science run riot. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
