After a century of being in cryogenic suspension, Captain Nemo : José Ferrer is revived by two US Navy divers : Burr DeBenning , Tom Hallick . Then Nemo is transported to San Francisco , being assigned the mission to stop a megalomaniac Professor , Burguess Meredith, who attempts to bomb the capital Washington and other cities in the World . Along the way , Nemo goes on his search for the lost city of Atlantis , delated a hundred years by his long time in stasis by suspended animation, and he even he meets an Atlantis prince : Horst Bucholz. His goal was Atlantis , but first he must conquer the menace of the depths ¡ .
Silly but agreeable adventure movie with thrills , action , full of fun and amusement , including some spectacular sets . It is a thrilling movie with some psychotronic elements , blending fantasy , science-fiction , cheesy conversation , and underwater adventures . This is a corny and camp amusement with a nonsensical plot , mingling embarrassing stories as atomic missiles, Atlantis , underwater fights . The pic results to be a rip-off from other films as "The lost City of Captain Nemo" in which takes partiallly its plot and the submarines war , as the villains appearing are in "Batman" series style , as well as " Irwin Allen's Voyage to the bottom of the sea" by copying the scale model subs and similar sea scenes . Main and support cast are acceptable . Jose Ferrer is pretty well as a serious Nemo who will fight at whatever cost to detain the villain Professor and his ominous purports . While Burguess Meredith overacting as a mad scientist threatening the World in exchance for several million dollars , and he will stop at nothing to get it. Secondary actors are decent such as Horst Buchholz , Tom Hallick, Burr DeBenning , Linda Day George , Warren Stevens , Peter Jason, Mel Ferrer , among others. The scale model submarine utilizad in shooting was originally constructed as one of the Seaview , as both of them bear remarkable resemblance .
