Certainly not one of the better films in the Harryhausen canon. This incredibly dated HG Wells adaptation must have even been hokey in its release year of 1964. Wooden acting, poor intergration of effects and a silly script. Hard to believe that we were only five years from the moon landing with the poor science on display here. On the plus side some really beautiful matte paintings on display.
