Man from Atlantis (1977)


Directed by Lee H. Katzin
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Patrick Duffy is the last citizen of Atlantis. He can swim faster than dolphins, has cat eyes and can understand whale talk. In this series pilot movie, he washes up on shore in California and is adopted by scientist Belinda Montgomery. The military decides to use him to find a missing submarine in a deep trench. Instead, he finds megalomaniac Victor Buono with a staff of zombie scientists he controls with bracelets, intent on destroying the world. Impossible to take seriously, but a fun throwback to the wild and wacky 70s.
