Atlantis, the Lost Continent (1961)


MGM
Directed by George Pal
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

George Pal's attempt at recreating the lost civilization of Atlantis comes across as a combination of The Ten Commandments and The Last Days of Pompeii. The King of Atlantis has lost his authority to a ruthless subordinate who plans to take over the world with a giant ray gun. It's up to a Greek slave and the King's daughter to save Atlantis and the world. Nature intervenes with a volcano eruption and finishes the job for them.
