I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This movie came out during Project Mohole intended to drill into the mantle. I've always assumed this movie was a take on that activity. Though the Mohole was a failure, "Crack in the World" was a solid success.The science was implausible even at the time. You'd never try this anywhere but the ocean floor and flying a conventional rocket down into the Earth was frankly ridiculous and looked goofy even to my 11 year old self.But those deficiencies don't notably detract from the fine performances and well-directed suspense. The movie moves along nicely with only a couple of draggy romance scenes. The special effects were well-done and quite convincing for the mid-1960s. All the characters are plausible and deliver equally plausible lines. Dana Andrews elderly stud good looks and mellifluous voice are a joy to watch. Kieron Moore, as always, plays the hunk with broad-shoulders and large biceps who always knows the right thing to do - and can do it all himself. Janette Scott is underused except as attractive scenery and damsel in distress.Definitely worth the time it takes to watch.

Very early disaster movie about a crack in the earth.What needs to remembered here is that this came BEFORE the disaster movies of the 1970s (Earthquake, The Towering Inferno, The Swarm, etc) and you have to wonder just how much of this film was copied by Irwin Allen and others. The music of the film has what now seems like rather routine "disaster music", but back then, the opening score would have been like nothing nobody had heard before. Think about it.Crack In The World is a wonderfully scripted, acted, filmed, scored, epic that deserves more attention than it gets. Maybe the average science in the plot is the reason it does not get talked about a lot these days?

A dream of harnessing the Earth's magma to create unlimited energy for mankind is brought into reality by a dying scientist. His suspect method of firing a ballistic missile into the Earth's core leads to a disaster of unprecedented magnitude, threatening to rip the Planet apart. "Crack in the World" is exciting, well written, beautifully depicted, science fiction. Character development is good for this type, and includes an uneasy alliance between two scientists caught in a love triangle with Janette Scott. Especially notable are the great pre- C.G.I. special effects, along with actual volcano footage. I rank this right up with the best sci-fi's I've seen, and I've seen a lot. - MERK

In my opinion, this is one of the best classic science fiction movies ever made, right up with The War of the Worlds (1953), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) and Forbidden Planet (1956).To us in 2011, its special effects might be laughable, and yes we know that you wouldn't fire a missile down a hole to punch into magma with a nuclear warhead. But it is a delightfully unique story of ingenuity that contains a major element that *has* come to pass, albeit not as the writers foresaw - the development of geothermal energy. It also showcases a time 55 years ago when no one had any idea what the inside of the Earth was like! The movie was based on best-guess geology, and what they developed made it fun. Further, it notes the potential dangers of messing with Mother Earth unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing.Many pieces of technology and social graces speak well to illustrate a period in history that many of us were either too young to remember, or not even born yet.As I said, this is not Industrial Light and Magic, but the special effects are great for the period. I have and always will be a fan of using detailed miniatures.I gave this movie a very high rating because it's just a good flick to sit down and watch. The story is fun and interesting, but not heavy. The science is wrong but at least they tried, and you have to smile at that. Astonishingly, the casting and acting is decent as well.Be sure to find some time for this movie, and don't be afraid, this is *not* a 1956 version of "The Core." They are entirely different movies of both type and quality.
