Allen Holubar stars as the domineering Captain Nemo, who rescues the passengers of an American naval vessel after ramming them with his iron-clad, steampunk submarine, The Nautilus. Incorporating material from Verne’s Mysterious Island, the film also follows the adventures of a group of Civil War soldiers whose hot-air balloon crash lands on an exotic island, where they encounter the untamed “Child of Nature” (Jane Gail).

The combination of old filmmaking techniques and Jules Verne's imagination is truly magical. However, it doesn't hide the fact that the creators have taken the books “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and “The Mysterious Island", gutted the best things from them and pieced them together to make the most of their brand new toys, exploring the unexplored and amazing others in the process. However, their work has a pleasant atmosphere, is perhaps even intentionally funny here and there, and despite the runtime I was not bored. Three and a half.
