What was planned to be a TV series "Return of Captain Nemo" the producer Irwin Allen already aware just in three episodes envisages a failure or something alike, thus they adjust all fulfilled episodes in a TV movie "The Amazing Captain Nemo" Irwin Allen's concept, also he brought his old whole crew to do it according his early standards of cinema fantastic.
In far off 1877 the Nautilus struck in a cliff on deep water, thus Captain Nemo disbanded Nautilus's crew to surface and to save the advanced submarine he enters in a suspended animation on cryogenic chamber and 101 years ahead thru a war games on pacific area two Naval Officer finding him there, through a shock wave he awakes in 1978, soon they invite Nemo to Nautilus repair on US's Naval shipyard's drydock in San Francisco, in the meantime a diabolic genius Prof. Waldo Cunningham (Burgess Meredith) is willing to vanish of map Washington by a delta beam if the USA's president pay him on billion dollars in gold, he has another high-tech submarine.
In exchange of Nautilus's repair and upgrade Mr. Miller (Warren Stevens) chief of secret service asking for a help to Nemo aiming for locate the wild Prof. Waldo and try stop the menace at Washington, the same US's naval officers joint in a Nemo assignment as Nautilus's crew members, Captain Nemo has an agreement with Mr. Miller after struggles against the evil Prof. Waldo if he accomplishes the task, will be free to pinpoint the sunk Atlantis civilization after Hercules's portals.
As said for a reviewer here I've rather the older miniatures instead any CGI process, aside it has some technical aspects that will against beyond imagination as Nautilus is stronger under high pressure on deepest waters that any highest advanced Atom Submarine available in late seventies, well we've to stand such outrageous benchmarking, the obsolete Nautilus has a handheld operation, instead the US's Submarine are driven by high-tech computer, the casting is fabulous, José Ferrer and Meredith got the show for themselves, the supporting is fine as well, a hybrid of Voyage from the Bottom of the Sea and Galactica with those hooded machine men with metallic voice, great fun indeed.
