Does Cthulhu get exploded by a steam boat at the end?
jp,
Yes he does. It's a pretty cool adaptation with a very cool score. Though they could have done a better job on Cthulhu. There's an excellent scene where one of the members of the crew that've come ashore the upheaved R'lyeh falls inbetween or "swallowed up by an angle of masonry which should'nt have been there; an angle which was acute, but behaved as if it were obtuse". The scenes of the cyclopean stone work of R'lyeh and it's relative proportion to the characters there was well done too.
All and all the movies a must have for any hardcore Lovecraft fan.
"I saw no city spread below, and no friendly lights gleaming from remembered streets, but only the blackness of space illimitable; unimagined space alive with motion and music, and having no semblance of anything on earth."
Wow, I hope this guy really means what he says with his reference to it's like him making the Titanic.
Somehow though I just doubt justice will be delivered to the film adaptation of At The Mountains Of Madness.
One can only hope.

There is undoubtedly a director out there who could do justice to Lovecraft. Ed Wood. I say we dig him up, electrify him (with a galvanic battery, of course) and get him working on something.
