Is this worth a blind purchase?
Any word on the transfer quality?
How would the story compare to 20,000 leagues?

I know ive seen bits & pieces of the film on television, at some point in time, but, cant remember if its a good film, as a whole.

IMO pretty close to the same as far as a fun flick goes different stories of course

Just picked up my copy, another of the - "I can't wait Films" I've been waiting for.

While the picture looks great the sound has a problem, not having a surround sound system the bass about blew my speakers on the opening sound blast!!!!

Cool little featurette on the restoration of the film showing a cross screen comparison with other attempts at restoration of this film.

A lot depends on how old you are! I remember seeing this in the theater as a kid and it blew me away!

I was/am impressed with how well the special FX hold up after all this time.

Now I can't wait for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It also made me want to see the Castaways!

well,yes, except for the bit with the reptiles (sorry, trying to be vague so I don't spoil anything) - that was awesome when I was 8, now it looks very goofy...

otherwise, I love this movie
