At the Earth's Core (1976)

Lighthearted And Delightfully Fun

Refreshing to see Peter Cushing in something outside of the standard horror or mystery genre. He is absolutely charming as Dr. Abner Perry.

Dr. Perry and his assistant, David Innes, has just finished building their huge Iron Mole drilling machine. Their adventure begins promptly as they quickly burrow down into the Earth's Core. They step out of the machine and find themselves in a beautiful fantasy jungle - but watch out for that giant dinosaur bird guys! They find themselves captured and enslaved with other humans (cavemen) by strange dominating creatures/monsters. Humorously, these humans or cavemen speak English! How great for our two travelers - now they have help to figure out what's going one and might help them to find a way out of there!

 This one is just simply fun - no other way to word it. It's a terrible movie but has a certain silly charm to it that is appealing.

6.5/10
