========I can't help smiling when I see Doug McClures name on a movie thanks to the Simpsons taking the micky out of him. Anyhow here he is and to be honest he gives a decent performance
We follow the incredibly smart, but slightly distracted, Professor Aitken and his son Charles and Charles friend Greg as they go off in search of yep you guessed it, The Lost City of Atlantis. They of course hire a very dubious and shifty looking crew who when they realise the untold wealth they may find decide to mutiny. Along the way there is the obligatory sea monster, which looks very plastic and the Alien inhabitants of, the now deep sea, Atlantis. Atlantis decides that it can take over the world and only Charles and Greg can stop them. They are helped by the very pretty Atlantian slave girl and soon they are all fighting and fleeing.
Has a similar feel to 'The land that time forgot' and about the same tone. It was ok if you're about 9 but otherwise a bit boring. A film of its time and it shows. All in all watch it if you're bored otherwise give it a miss.
