one of my absolute favorites!

From my favorite movies..

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

{Exclamation marks at every sentence) I'm watching a movie called SINBAD: THE 5TH VOYAGE, and am astounded by how it was made. They took a typical Harryhausen plot and added creature effects that parody Harryhausen's, only they are computer rather than stop action, but they have a clay like texture even. The other effects are also high class. I'd recommend you give this a look. There's no question that this is a dedicated attempt to create a Harryhausen film without Harryhausen. It's too bad he's not alive to see it. The creatures look like his, not at all like those in the remakes of his other films. Patrick Stewart narrates. It's only 78 minutes long so it moves along sprightly.30 somethings won't like it. They won't get it, because they are expecting creature effects from after 2000 not retro like this. This is where the title of my review applies. My note to the director: Keep making these films because you are truly a fantasy guy who appreciates the greats of the past.

If you are a Sinbad fan don't buy or watch this movie. I have been a Sinbad fan for over 50 years and have seen many Sinbad movies, but this one shouldn't even have the name on it. In fact they don't even pronounce it correctly...it sounds like "sandbag" in the movie. After watching it I was amazed that Patrick Stewart had anything to do with it. The special effects were a joke. You'd think it was made in the 40s or 50s instead of just last year. Even the blooper reel wasn't funny. I also should have had a hint about it when I didn't recognize any of the actors. I like to see new ones and I hope some of them get a second chance with a better script. The director should go back to playing terrorists or something like that. Again, don't waste your time or money, even if you have a Sinbad movie collection like I do. It won't be a part of it.

I had to register and make review for this masterpiece. I usually newer leaving comments on IMDb, but i was provoked when i saw all that 10 star reviews. Must be the film crew or family of makers of this s... If i could gave 0 i would, the movie is awful, newer watched worst film, could not finish it how much disaster this movie is...The first animation of that blue thing is awesome :)) like its made in 80's, special effect are also very bad, and poorly done. Acting had some nice moments, but overall very bad...Vote:VFX: 0 Acting: 0 Animations: 000Don't lose time watching this.

Thought I would throw in my two cents after reading all the reviews. Saw Sinbad with the folks at the theater, I glanced at the billboard ads on the 110 Fwy in LA, and decided to check it out, cause they looked very interesting.I thought the film used a vintage style of filmmaking that hasn't been seen in a while, which is kind of refreshing to say the least. After all how much CGI can a man take?? It was nice to see the creatures animated the way they were. I thought the lead actor and director Shahin Sean Solimon did a superb job bringing back a classic. I noticed some of the reviews seem to be from folks who have some kind of issue, but it is definitely not indicative of what this movie is. I would check it out for your self.I also thought rest of the cast was cool, loved the fact that there was a bizarre mix of races. All the way from the white girl crew member, to an Asian Genie? :))At the end of the day and in my humble opinion Sinbad The Fifth Voyage was two smiles up! . My mom and dad also loved it too!!
