– Alan Frank / The Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Handbook (1982)

“At the Earth’s Core sees an American financier ([Doug] McClure) team up with an eccentric inventor (Peter Cushing, very much in Doctor Who mode), who has built a burrowing machine, The Mole, designed to travel through mountain ranges. On their maiden voyage things very quickly go awry and they find themselves heading deep into the earth, where they finally come to a stop having broken through to the cavernous interior world of Pellucidar. They soon discover humans who are being kept as slaves by the Sagoths, who are controlled telepathically by dinosaur-like bird creatures called the Mahars. One of these humans is naturally a beautiful princess (played by the incredibly luminous Caroline Munro) —
An exciting, fire-filled adventure film with some impressive special effects and sound design, much of which feels like it was a dry run for Star Wars (1977) — [Caroline Munro] lights the place up whenever she is on.”
