"Warlords" tells the tale of 2 scientist's (father and son), a captain, a crew of questionable deck hands, a young boy and our hero Greg, aka Doug McClure who are out to discover the lost city of Atlantis with a revolutionary diving device Greg has created that is bottomless. Along the way however some things go bad and the crew are attacked by several creatures including a giant octopus as well as the occupants of Atlantis. The Atlantians capture them and an escape attempt is made by our crew to get out of Atlantis before they are "altered" to live there forever.
If you are a fan of rubber suits and puppets as oppose to the modern day CGI you are in for a treat as this film deliveries many different beasties made of the Godzilla style persuasion. After saying that if you are not one to be into that kind of effects then you will not really like what this movie has in store for you. For me I liked them and thought it added a certain charm that you cannot get with a movie made nowadays.
The story is basic and there is really nothing here that is awe inspiring or revolutionary but as far as a PG rated adventure goes (the first I've actually entered a review on I believe) this one is a nice little ride. If you have little ones they will more than likely be entertained by all the monsters and more than likely your inner child will enjoy them as well.
No gore here, nothing horrific just a nice little escape along the lines of a descent Fantasy or Sci-Fi film. People looking for anything else than a 70's style low budget adventure film need not apply all others I would encourage you to give it a look. My score for "Warlords of Atlantis" is: 5/10: Average, a nice little escape nothing huge here, just a nice change of pace film to show off to the kids that will not make you want to rip out your eyes.
This movie has not yet received a Stateside release however for a little "pound" you can get this one from England, courtesy of the DVD company Cinema Club. It is a 16:9 Animorphic transfer with an English Mono only audio.
