简介：<p>　　&quot;Dr. Cyclops&quot; is known as one of the better &quot;early sci-fi&quot; films, made in &#39;39 and released in 1940. (It is also in color.) But while the story has potential and there are some good moments, this is a very confused film.<br/>　　The plot is simple - crazy mad scientist on some remote island can shrink animals, and wants to try it on humans. He manages this on a scientific team that came to check things out. They get angry, and the crazy scientist eventually gets really angry because his new shrunken subjects won&#39;t cooperate.<br/>　　The thing is, the film doesn&#39;t seem to know if it wants to be a thriller, or a goofy movie. Dr. Cyclops (never called that but referenced to a Cyclops after one lens in his glasses breaks) looks cool in his &quot;30&#39;s style sci-fi helmet&quot; as he performs experiments and can be chilling at times. But there is so much &quot;Disney-style goofy music&quot; going on that it is hard to take anything seriously. The music belongs in a family comedy for the most part, and is played when the shrunken people do things like try to survive, and creep around the floor. Add that a few of them have pretty gruesome deaths and that just adds to the confusing atmosphere.<br/>　　The FX aren&#39;t so bad but nothing special. The giant sets built are pretty impressive though. There is a scene where little fires are tossed at a real crocodile&#39;s head which probably made animal activists angry.<br/>　　It also takes a long time for anything to really happen. This movie could have been done in a nice tight half-hour. Good for a viewing, but you probably won&#39;t watch again. The performance of the guy who plays Dr. Cyclops is definitely the main attraction.</p>…
