Now much-Oscared George Pal, the cinema's ace conjurer of cosmic cataclysm (War of the Worlds, When Worlds Collide), has re-created this crazy continent, given it a colossal blood bath and sunk it again. In the process he has admirably fulfilled his ambition to supply escapist entertainment "with an element of wonder, stressing man's suppressed desire to travel away from himself...
