Being a child of the seventies I was raised on films. I saw a good many classic during my most formative years, usually on a Sunday afternoon, which I'd watch with my family. I also use to enjoy the adverts in the Evening Standard for the latest cinema releases. The poster art was lurid and exotic and would often promise so much. As video was not yet available to the domestic market, trips to the cinema were much more of an event than they are now. By 1978 I was already a firm fan of the fantasy genre (mainly thanks to the work of Ray Harryhausen) so when Warlords of Atlantis was released I was duly excited. I had seen all the previous films that John Dark had produced in this series. The Land That Time Forgot, At the Earth’s Core and The People That Time Forgot. Although cheap and cheerful, they were very entertaining, especially to younger audiences.
