best movie i've ever seen.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

If there was a happy-ending episode to conclude the series, it may have been like this: The seven people on the Spindrift didn't travel through time or distant space but were shrunk like the movie "Fantastic Voyage" and landed on Earth in an English speaking place at the present time. That's a similar concept as the movie "Planet of the Apes". That's why we see the same cultures, fashions and technology as Earth of the late '60s. Some familiar products and objects appear but are just twelve times in larger scale except the audio level. The Captain insists he saw Earth in "On a Clear Night You Can See Earth" but it was his wishful thinking or mental distortion.

Land of the Giants deserved a longer run and one episode I recall was when Stefan Arngrim's character was saved from being spider food by an l guy who became the sacrificial lamb. This series, along with The Time Tunnel, were excellent 60s series and perhaps really deserves a reboot.I wonder how the family managed to eat and find miniature toilets and so on. Makes you wonder.

Scientists may not approve ( I don't think it was aimed at them anyway! ) but in the U.K. in 1969 'Land Of The Giants' was a smash hit. At school on Monday mornings, the number one talking point in the playground was the latest episode of 'Land'. I would try to steer the conversation towards the ongoing saga of 'Dr.Who' in 'The War Games', but it was no use. 'Land' had Britain's children ensnared in its grip. It was kind of like 'Planet Of The Apes' in that it too featured a group of humans who, after passing through a 'space warp', find themselves marooned on a strange world where evolution has taken a different turn. As you'd expect from an Irwin Allen series, characterisation was barely in evidence, but the show boasted some amazing S.F.X. sequences, intriguing story lines such as 'Ghost Town', and the excellent Kevin Hagen as the sinister Inspector Kobick of the S.I.D. As was the case with a lot of U.S. sci-fi shows, the novelty soon wore off - 'Land' was cancelled after two seasons.

This show had so much going for it early on but like many an Irwin Allen production, things always go from good to bad. The earlier episodes had the giants talking in muted, distorted tones giving them an evil presence. You also couldn't quite see all of them. It was truly quite creepy, and you really weren't sure if they were on Earth or some strange Nazi like parallel planet. But after a few episodes the giants, and the scripts, became mediocre with the "little people" escaping from some giants evil laboratory every week. This show is also famous for disappearing cast members. Barry would disappear from time to time, as well as his dog, but none vanished as quickly as Betty. Even when she was around, she didn't have much to do. All eyes were on Valerie, so Betty got relegated to keeping an eye on the space ship. It's surprising that this has not been adapted into a full length motion picture. With the technology today they could do so much more than have a big rubber hand come lumbering in and pick up a screaming Valerie.
