A lot of the footage of the submarine in action, that was made for the movie, were reused on the series. The first few episodes were pretty good. I always like that Irwin Allen would take on projects like this and Lost in Space. But, he was always more interested in the bottom line, and the shows would suffer for it.Matthew Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430232044031108705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-72200130484655294472018-02-27T03:08:39.082-08:002018-02-27T03:08:39.082-08:00The book is most definitely infinitely superior to...The book is most definitely infinitely superior to the movie. I mean, we're talking Ted Sturgeon vs. Irwin Allen here.<br /><br />You're either a LOT younger than I thought (like under 40) or grew up in a relatively small TV market if you weren't familiar with the TV show. It's very reminiscent of that other Irwin Allen TV production <i>Lost in Space</i>. Just without the kid, the cringing, camp villain, the robot, or the chimp. You know, all the things that made it fun to watch. But, hey, flying sub!<br /><br />Take a drink every time a panel explodes in a shower of sparks or Kowalski has a close encounter with a bulkhead, and you'll get really hammered.DemetriosXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875123708719460292noreply@blogger.com
