Editorial Review:
High adventure and hooty special effects make At the Earth's Core a colorful camp treat. Doug McClure plays David Innes, the brawn to Dr. Abner Perry's brains. The two have developed the Iron Mole, a vehicle that bores through solid rock. A test run goes too well and before you know it they're neck-deep in scantily clad cave women and telepathic lizard-birds. Peter Cushing has a good time playing against his usual type as the absentminded Professor Perry, while McClure sticks to cigar-chomping macho swagger. Older kids will enjoy the colorful sets and fire-breathing animals, while adults will get a kick out of the hilariously outdated gender politics. At the Earth's Core is well worth turning off your brain and taking a look. DVD version includes the original trailer and French and Spanish subtitles. --Ali Davis

Rating:  - At The Earth's Core
Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel AT THE EARTH'S CORE was his first novel in the Pellucidar Series. Pellucidar was the hollow earth where the adventures took place.
The 1976 film adaptation of this novel by Pinewood Studios added to the growing movie vault based on Burroughs' novels.
Perhaps, the most delightful character is Professor Abner Perry, the engineer, geologist, and paleontologist. Peter Cushing's Perry is absolute entertainment. It would be worth one's time ... Read More
Rating:  - Burroughs by name, burrows by nature!
Before Luke Skywalker, there was Doug McClure... His John Dark-Kevin Connor fantasy adventures were a mainstay of Summer holiday movies in the days before Star Wars: they weren't masterpieces, they didn't boast state-of-the-art special effects, but they were exactly what an audience of kids wanted from a film back in the mid 70s.
At the Earth's Core is highly enjoyable, catching just the right tone for the appropriately named Burroughs' pulp adventure about Victorian inventor Peter Cushing ... Read More
Rating: - A fun movie from the '70s with McClure battling more silly monsters
In the late 1970s Doug McClure made a career out of movies like this. Starting with THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT in 1975 he managed to come out with one such movie a year until WARLORDS OF ATLANTIS in 1978 (curiously titled on the Amazon catalog as WARLORDS OF THE DEEP). And this effort is the second in the "series" (the sequel to LAND, THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT was a 1977 release).
Essentially they follow much the same formula, in essence a group of people from a past era discover an unexplored realm, ... Read More
Rating: - It's All About Princess Dia
'At The Earth's Core' is sci-fi silliness from '76. There is absolutely no reason why anyone would want to watch, or own this film. Well, maybe one reason and that reason would be CAROLINE MUNRO! Yes, the beautiful Brit who played the sexy Margiana in 'The Golden Voyage of Sinbad' three years earlier is back as the scantily clad Princess Dia and she looks as incredible as ever.
Watch Princess Dia in her two piece loincloth run from the dumbest looking bunch of blow-up dinosaurs and giant, woman ... Read More
Rating: - Silly Fun
It is impossible to confuse this movie with anything serious. Doug McClure is adventurer David Innes, who accompanies Dr. Abner Perry (Peter Cushing) on a journey into the earth's core. Once they pair reaches the interior of the earth, they discover that everyone speaks English, except for the telepathic Meyhas, who communicate telepathically to the accompaniment of sound effects that clue you in to what is happening.
Suitable to a movie of this type, one of the people that David and Dr. Perry ... Read More
