One Million Years BC May 31, 2009 Norman Pitkin 1 out of 1 found this review helpful One Million Years BC is one great movie .if you like this type of movie that is . i do like this type of movie and this one on dvd the print is great as well as the audio i have no problems with the dvd at all and i got this movie from amazon a great classic Raquel Welch was not designed by Ray Harryhausen? August 24, 2008 bernie (Arlington, Texas) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Think of "Forbidden Planet" (1956) and you think of Anne Francis. There were space movies before this and after this yet Ann Francis is the definitive space babe. After watching "One Million Years B.C.", Raquel though a little fuzzy will always be in our minds. br / br /This story is the definitive girl meets Dino. It is not all just a fury story there is a script and love involved. Then there are the haps and mishaps of the Shell people Vs the Stone people. br / br /If the pre-historic menagerie looks familiar, with the exception of the iguana, we can thank Ray Harryhausen's talents. This movie is a classic on many levels and should be in your collection. br / br /If you are only interested in fur bikinis, then your next picture should be "Caveman" (1981) With Barbara Bach protruding...oops! I mean filling out a fur bikini. br / br / Raquel Welch and the Dinos deserve better! July 8, 2007 Stoneracket (Iowa, USA) 22 out of 25 found this review helpful br /The Good br / br /This DVD release is anamorphic widescreen. It appears to be the uncut version of the film, but it's running time is 96 minutes. However, all other sources state that the original release version is 100 minutes in length. But the deleted scenes ( edited from the American release ) listed at the Internet Movie Database are all here in this Optimum Classic "Hammer Collection" DVD. br / br /Interviews with Ray Harryhausen and Raquel Welch are included. br / br / br /The Bad br / br /The audio is not "stereo" ( as listed on the back of the DVD keep case ) - it is actually mono. br / br /There is no theatrical trailer included with the special features. br / br / br /The Ugly br / br /The film print used here is merely adequate. There are some scratches and some debris throughout this particular presentation. What we all need here is a Lowry Digital type of restoration. br / br /The final three minutes of the film on this DVD are in black and white for some unfathomable reason. br / br /This is a single-layer DVD disc with only 4.13 GB of material on it and is not recorded at the highest quality standard as with a typical 9 GB dual-layer disc. In other words, too much compression for my tastes. I don't know about any of you out there, but I want Raquel Welch and the Dino FX to be as clear and sharp as possible for a standard definition DVD. Harryhausen and the Fur Bikini July 11, 2009 Mr. Andrew Carr (Kent, England) I only bought this as my wife likes "B" movies with monsters, though from a male perspective one can also appreciate Miss Welch in her prime and her iconic costume. Being Harryhausen, the stop-frame dinosaurs are great fun whether chasing and eating, or swooping and capturing, the cave men and women. The projected lizards and turtles are less successful, but this a Sixties Hammer Horror film long before CGI. The minimal dialogue and the tonal and primitive score at least mean you have to follow it closely, though I still don't understand the sudden ending nor the switch to black and white. Nonetheless, great fun and a must for Harryhausen fans and for those of Raquel. br / br / Showing reviews 1-5 of 6 1 2 Next »
