    An enduring movie for all ages

    This is the Disney movie that made history as being the FIRST Disney movie with a PG rating; the FIRST movie with an all-digital soundtrack; and the LAST movie with all the effects done in-house (and not outsourced to another company). I'm still perplexed with how Harry Booth looks into a worker's mirrored mask with absolutely no camera in the reflection. The twelve-foot long model of USS Cygnus made for the movie (there were actually two) was such a masterpiece that it went on exhibit at New York's Museum of Modern Art before it was carefully crated for storage on the Disney backlot (where it was later crushed to oblivion by a careless forklift driver). Are there plot holes? Yes. Production flaws? Yes. Dated effects? Sure. By today's standards, the story crawls along: it's more a suspense movie than action. Yet it has an enduring following that transcends generations. The only real downside of this release is a letterbox all the way around the movie on all sides: so the movie won't take up the entire screen. BUT you get the whole movie, including the overture (I'm pretty sure this was one of the last movies to feature one) at a fraction of the cost of the Blu-ray... if you can find it!

    Decent late 1970s Disney Si-Fi entry. The 1977 Star Wars is a better movie.

    Decent movie from the late 1970s. The acting was pretty weak overall; and the special effects appear very dated today. This was the last move made by a major studio using their own "in house" art department. A lot of the wide screen shots were made using matt paintings in the background and those do hold up pretty well. The 1977 Star Wars release is a much better movie.

  • Nice movie without bad language.

    Good plot for a Disney movie. Not full of bloody violence, no bad or filthy language. Enjoyable to watch. Great value as well.

  • Absolutely fantastic Jen.

    Classic sci-fi action. If you like robots and evil scientists it’s right up your street. One of my favourite Sci-fi films from the 1970’s. Action and mystery all rolled into one.

  • Not Great, but Not Bad.

    A bit cartoonish, but it IS Disney, so - understandable. Should watch this and Event Horizon, as a double feature. EV is probably the better film, however, both have similar story lines. Shares a "mad scientist and robot" trope with Forbidden Planet, and again, FB is the better film. Yvette Mimieux and Robert Forster are credible, but, again, it's Disney. Enjoyable.

  • Fun and cool, but special effects have flaws. Still worth enjoying.

    Great movie, love the characters, fun to watch. Drawback is you can see the wires used to make the characters float in anti-gravity, they should remaster this or remake a new movie. The stunts and rolls with in zero gravity are cool but wires show. Its still a classic to love.

  • 20,000 Leagues in Space

    Disney’s story that in ways parallels the earlier Jules Verne classic, but this time, the stage is set in space.

  • Classic Si-Fi

    I enjoyed this movie so much and was glad to see that I could get it finally on DVD. I also have this movie on Laser Disc, when it first came out. Great movie to watch with the family. This movie would also look great in 3D and if the transfer is done properly, would look fantastic in 4K.
