Editorial Review:
When the evil magician Sokurah (Torin Thatcher) shrinks Princess Parisa (Kathryn Grant) to roughly half the size of a Barbie doll, only one thing can restore her: the egg of a Roc. The Roc, of course, is a gigantic bird that lives on the remote island of Colossa. Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) hires a crew of mutiny-minded convicts and sets sail, Sokurah in tow, but runs afoul of a fire-breathing dragon, a very ticked off Cyclops, and an equally crabby two-headed mutant Roc. This swashbuckling adventure was the first installment of the Sinbad films, and decades later it still has the power to hold viewers spellbound. Thatcher is terrific as the sinister, shaven-headed Sokurah, mugging perfectly for the camera, and Mathews is suitably dashing as Sinbad.
As in all Sinbad films, though, the real stars are the Dynamation creations of Ray Harryhausen. The art of cinematic special effects has taken quantum leaps since 1958, which makes it so amazing that his work still looks as fine as it does. Harryhausen creates a world of fantasy where dragons and grotesque one-eyed humanoids battle to the death, one where it's very easy for adults to suspend their disbelief and watch the action with the wonder of a child. Seventh Voyage not only set the stage for further Sinbad adventures, but was a landmark film in the fantasy genre, opening doors for sword-and-sandal Hercules epics and countless other excursions. Few films, though, have the artistry that Ray Harryhausen's effects display in this movie. For great escapist fare for kids and adults alike, look no further than the first Sinbad film. --Jerry Renshaw

Perhaps I was five or six when I first snuck into one of the cheapo movie theaters off of Myrtle Ave, in Queens, to see The 7th Voyage Of Sinbad. Or, perhaps I saw it first on WABC-TV's The 4:30 Movie, or late night, on Chiller Theater or Creature Feature. Regardless of when I first saw it, I was immediately hooked on the Ray Harryhausen special effects. Even in this day of CGI effects, I still prefer the older films, replete with blue screens that outlined actors against projected wonders, matte ... Read More
Rating:  - Some of the best of Harryhausen's creatures
I certainly hope this lives up to the 50th anniversary tradition of most dvd releases and is not just the same flat sounding and not very good so-called re-mastering that supposedly the first issue of this dvd was said to have, and didn't. My video versions from Columbia were alot better in sound, picture and quality and if the 50th anniversary dvd is done like this as I expect it will, it will be a great dvd as its not released yet. Now if ," The Mysterious Island, 3 Worlds Of Gulliver," and "Jason ... Read More

Although I don't have this restored 50th anniversary disc yet, I can say it's going to be wonderful! 50 years ago, when "7th Voyage" was released, I was a ten year old, just discovering Ray Harryhausen, and boy, this was THE MOVIE to discover him by! Today, this remastered version--in the original 1:66/1 aspect ratio--is the ONLY way to watch it: bye bye 'widescreen'!! Although I once had a 16mm print, it surely pales in comparison to the Blu-Ray and DVD versions now available at the 50th anniversary. ... Read More

Well i gave the movie 4 stars only because I didn't really care for it. But my kids and husband LOVED it. Just not my taste. But my 8 and 6 years old watch it over and over again. I just ordered another for my kids. The Golden Voyage I think. Anyway Its good for the boys when there is nothing but bad tv on.
Rating: - Great!
I like this movie for all the special effects. When I see a movie I like I buy it.
