Product Description

Released by Universal in 1916, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was the first great special effects spectacular of early cinema. Based on the Jules Verne novel, the story concerns a team of scientists investigating a series of naval disturbances who find the culprit is the Nautilus, a submarine piloted by Captain Nemo, a hate-driven renegade seaman. Over a year-and-a-half in production, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is a colorful recreation of Verne's science fiction classic.

Daniel B. Lyle

Brilliant for 1916, still interesting today

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

Verified Purchase

This mashup of Jules Verne's stories is cleverly scripted and interesting. The special effects are certainly primitive by today's standards, but still viewable. As a historical example of science fiction movies, this is a "must have" for any sci-fi fan. The restoration for the most part is amazingly well done. Bravo!

Super Cool Movie!

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2022

You won't believe that this was made in 1916. It has live underwater cinematography - radically high-tech at the time - and outdoor, location filming in the Bahama Islands. Yes, it's black-and-white, but the Blu-Ray restoration is so perfect that you'll barely notice. The miniatures and effects are terrible, and they make up for it by doing almost the entire film with live, full-scale ships and sets - at sea. It's also silent, but has a really lovely instrumental music track composed for the film. The story is an interesting mash-up of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and Verne's semi-sequel to that book, "Mysterious Island." And it adds in some really interesting stuff about Captain Nemo that you won't hear about from Disney. Highly recommended!

Barbara Underwood

Spectacular for its time

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

With all famous, classic stories which have been remade several times over the decades, it can be difficult not to compare one version with the other, especially when one of them was made in the middle of the silent film era. So it's important to keep in mind that this early 1916 version of Jules Verne's classic was a state-of-the-art superior production at that time, complete with exciting battle scenes, special effects and even the first real underwater photography. The film even opens with a credit to the two inventors of the new underwater camera, as well as a suitable little tribute to Jules Verne's amazing foresight as he described submarines and other futuristic things half a century before they were invented. Keeping all this mind, viewing this silent version of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" becomes a whole new adventure, and even though the underwater shots, old-fashioned diving suits and short battle scenes are humdrum for us today, they are still of good quality even by today's standards, and must have been an exciting spectacle for audiences back in 1916.

While not entirely faithful to Verne's original, the story is quite interesting and involves far more than just showing off the technology of the period with many underwater and submarine scenes. In fact, for a 1916 production, this film is particularly sophisticated on various levels, and with careful editing the lives of three different groups of people are related, leading to a climax which shows how all their paths cross and how they are connected. There is Captain Nemo with his mysterious quest for revenge, some balloonists who become stranded on an island where a wild girl lives, and then the man plagued by a guilty conscience who returns to this island in search of the girl. Besides some intriguing plots and drama, there is some good action (by 1916 standards, that is) including a diver wrestling a giant octopus. Together with a newly-made musical score of both piano on its own at times, then other instruments, the overall effect is of an interesting film with much variety, quite apart from its historic significance as being a pioneer of underwater photography and other exciting action effects of its time.

Nice print.

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

The quality of the print is nice for much of it. There are a few spots that are not as good but considering it’s a 105 year old movie, it is still a good flick. The underwater scenes are interesting, again consider its age.

film is remarkable well preserved, nearly 102 years old is extremely well filmed in the early days of making long features over 1 hour and forty minute. A must for fans of film history, acting and all aspects ahead of its time

Silent black and white film, from 1916, a master work.

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

Fantastic surprise to find this black and white classic film. I thought I'd never see it. It combines both "20,000 Leagues...and Mysterious inland", In a truly technological wonder, shouting film under water. The "20,000 Leagues...", follows the book well for this silent film. It's a KEEPER!

An authentic 1916 film, collectable, video taped to DVD.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2003

Verified Purchase

This is a classic, first of its kind film. The special effects include some of the FIRST underwater motion film ever made. There is no dialoged sound track, a pianist accompanies the black&white (sometimes brown& white) images while occasional subtitles elude to the drama as it unfolds. The image bobs and weaves like a video camera was held in front of a screen showing the celluloid film to make this into DVD. A tripod would have helped.
If you must have any and all submarine movies, or are collecting samples of cutting edge effects before the era of synchronized sound, then this DVD is for you. If you're looking for the "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" where the squid wraps around the sub in full color & sound, then I think the Disney version is the one you want. I'll keep both versions!

For Collectors (Like Me)

Reviewed in Canada on June 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

The video quality is excellent, given how old this film is. There are not a lot of extras, but enough for background. The underwater photography is very good. The film itself does not compare with other adaptations. It deviates from the novel in silly ways. So this is a film more for collectors but I'll note very enjoyable to watch.
