Basic Plot:
A nuclear test in the arctic brings back to life a giant dinosaur, called a Rhedosaurus, which makes its way to the east coast of North America, destroying shipping vessels and a lighthouse. But all reports of a "sea serpent" are widely ridiculed and dismissed. Meanwhile, the nuclear physicist Tom Nesbitt, who saw the beast, tries to convince the paleontologist Thurgood Elson of its existence. Soon after, the paleontologist is killed by the beast, while being on a diving bell searching for the creature. The Rhedosaurus emerges from the sea and lays waste to Manhattan Island until Nesbitt comes up with a plan to try to stop the seemingly indestructible beast...
The Rhedosaurus on "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" was Stop-Motion animated by special effects master Ray Harryhausen. Harryhausen is famous for his hardwork and beautiful special effects. I admire all of his films, but i'm not gonna talk about Harryhauysen right now, maybe someday in the future....
As for this film I'll give it a: 7/10
