I want the whole Harryhausen BD Collection!

This movie is a classic.

There is really no animal like the Cyclops.

If you like adventure, fantasy, and action you will love this movie.

Wasn't the Golden Voyage better?

Nice to see that sombody remembers these movies. Most of the younger people in here have no idea what it is.

Every one I have seen was great.

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad is the one that comes out in Bly-ray October 7th.
You will notice Russel L wants all of them.

I've only seen them on TV not on the cinema or anything, but the effects seemed better in the Golden Voyage, better than the 7th, which I only have vague memories of (I can hardly remember it at all), but the monsters in the 7th don't seem as real-looking as the ones in the Golden Voyage (I've seen the Golden Voyage on TV quite a few times).

Golden Voyage had more "Arabian" locale, a script by Brian "The Avengers" Clemens (turning Sinbad into an Arabian Mr. Steed), and was the movie that got Tom Baker his job as The Doctor...

But Seventh had Princess Parisa, the Obligatory Harryhausen Skeleton-Fight, and the Bernard Hermann music.

Looks pretty promising.

I bought this for my friend, he really wants it so I thought I'd surprise him with this.

We'll probably watch it when it arrives in the mail.

It is grainy. For the age of the movie it is fine. The colors are vivid.

Could someone else please commit for this member on the PQ and AQ.

They would probably ruin it like they do with almost every other movie they remake.

Please let's not give any remake ideas to Hollywood, they are making enough of them already

7th Voyage along with Jason and the Argonauts are getting screened (in a double billing) at a cinema near me in July. But I noticed they are digital projections - can anyone say how the digital projection compares to 35mm?

slick1ru2 · 04-29-2013, 12:37 AM

The Sony Movie Channel is playing Harryhausen movies all day, topping the day off with all 3 Sinbad movies. I really wish those 3 were in a boxed set. They also played Mysterious Island and The Three World's of Gulliver. Also had a great documentary on him and his work that was pretty new. The Mysterious Island BD is going for $95 new, $89 used. What a bargin!

MYSTERIOUS ISLAND is getting re-issued by Twilight Time, so you'll have a chance to get it for $30 again.

This is a great disc and a fun movie! I was wary starting it because I found Jason and the Argonauts a little disappointing recently, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Much more fantasy focused and fast-paced, with cool locales and monsters. Great direction too, and that score! Loved this movie.

Image looks good, though like with Jason the special effects shot look much worse than the rest. Great original mono. Have the commentary going now, which is a fun conversational style track like the rest of Harryhausen's. Great disc.
