The Phantom Empire (1987 Video)
4/10
Meanders Between the Real Bad and the Good Kind of Bad
11 February 2022
The Phantom Empire provides some trashy and cheesy fun - first time our underground expedition sets up camp in the caves they get some booze done... What else? The Phantom Empire reminds me of classics like Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Time Machine and Forbidden Planet, but transformed to a pulp magazine version: half naked ladies, cannibal monsters (hilarious masks!), almost some gore, robots and some more funny stuff put together in a wild mixture. Production value is low, cast okay, to sum it up: some movie out of the trash can. Whether this film is of any good for you is a question of mood and taste - you may dare to give this one a try if you like sometimes to dig on the other side of the coin, then and only then, The Phantom Empire may provide you with some entertainment and fun moments.
