There is true widescreen and there is false widescreen. This is one of the many (And I do mean many) dvds released under the latter. Amazon lists this as being 1:66.1. That's when a good print of 2:35.1 the most common of the widest scope is not available they work with something reasonable that loses some of the sides, but it is livable. This Movie looks like it was filmed at 1:33.1 fullscreen (TV shaped) then cropped at 1:85.1. I mean how do you explain why the Behemoth's head keeps disappearing behind the upper black bar way too often. This movie should have been presented in a fullscreen format. I would really love to know who was the person who came up with the idea and said "Hey! lets cut the top and bottom of the picture of a movie and we'll call it WIDESCREEN!" As for the movie itself, EH.. it aint so good. It's ok, but it aint so good. It so so, but it aint so good. Maybe I'd have a better opinion of this movie if the Behemoths head wasn't coverered up by the added black bars.
Viewer Reviews
I thoroughly enjoy this movie. Its filmed in a deliberately slow pace to keep a little suspense. This is a lie down/curl up in bed relax and enjoy picture, if you are in the mood, this is a mild B movie thriller done in such a way that the monster that doesn't appear right away , for if it had it would have ruined the atmosphere it tries to have. No, the monster doesn't come at the very end either. To me the monster came at the right time. Some people might gets antsy waiting for the monster, but if you relax and follow the story, you will enjoy it before Behemoth shows. Basically its a radioactive Brontosaurus that burns people. Somewhat like Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. That movie and Behemoth were both directed by Eugene Lourie. Willis O Brien did the SPFX for this and while not up to King Kong, this is still a cool monster. I also enjoyed the cost with Gene Evans, Andre Morell,etc. If you like giant monsters & think you can get into this movie while waiting for his grand appearance, check this out. This is the kind of movie you shouldn't multi-task and watch or it will lose its affect. Sit back and watch and you will enjoy - Trust me :)
