When the evil magician Sokurah (Torin Thatcher) shrinks Princess Parisa (Kathryn Grant) to roughly half the size of a Barbie doll, only one thing can restore her: the egg of a Roc. The Roc, of course, is a gigantic bird that lives on the remote island of Colossa. Sinbad (Kerwin Mathews) hires a crew of mutiny-minded convicts and sets sail, Sokurah in tow, but runs afoul of a fire-breathing dragon, a very ticked off Cyclops, and an equally crabby two-headed mutant Roc. This swashbuckling adventure was the first installment of the Sinbad films, and decades later it still has the power to hold viewers spellbound. Thatcher is terrific as the sinister, shaven-headed Sokurah, mugging perfectly for the camera, and Mathews is suitably dashing as Sinbad.
As in all Sinbad films, though, the real stars are the Dynamation creations of Ray Harryhausen. The art of cinematic special effects has taken quantum leaps since 1958, which makes it so amazing that his work still looks as fine as it does. Harryhausen creates a world of fantasy where dragons and grotesque one-eyed humanoids battle to the death, one where it's very easy for adults to suspend their disbelief and watch the action with the wonder of a child. Seventh Voyage not only set the stage for further Sinbad adventures, but was a landmark film in the fantasy genre, opening doors for sword-and-sandal Hercules epics and countless other excursions. Few films, though, have the artistry that Ray Harryhausen's effects display in this movie. For great escapist fare for kids and adults alike, look no further than the first Sinbad film. --Jerry Renshaw

Rating:  - my opinion
Well i gave the movie 4 stars only because I didn't really care for it. But my kids and husband LOVED it. Just not my taste. But my 8 and 6 years old watch it over and over again. I just ordered another for my kids. The Golden Voyage I think. Anyway Its good for the boys when there is nothing but bad tv on.
Rating:  - Great!
I like this movie for all the special effects. When I see a movie I like I buy it.
Rating: - From the land beyond beyond
SWEET! I finally watched it. What a fantastic adventure, not to mention dazzling achievement with special effects. This movie is pure magic.
Embark on this journey with Sinbad and his crew as they sail the seas, eventually finding danger and bewilderment in the mystical island of Colossus.
This movie wastes no time getting to the action. The man-eating Cyclops is their first of many foes as they are forced to travel deep into the heart of danger to break a spell cast on the princess.
What's most impressive with this movie is the fact that it came out in 1958, before CGI and the multi-million Hollywood budget. It's rated G, so it's something the whole family can enjoy.
Rating: - Master of the Sinbads
I saw this at the theater when it was first released so my perspective may be swayed by that. As a child I loved it. As an adult Im still impressed with it. Kerwin Mathews was a master at seeing creatures that werent really there, and Ray Harryhausen was a master at making creatures of all sorts come to life. I highly recommend this for small children and any one of any age that enjoys old sword and sorceror movies.
Rating: - HARRYHAUSEN IS THE MASTER OF STOP MOTION!
This is probably Ray Harryhausen's crown jewel! I love all of his work and the Ymir(from 20 Million Miles to Earth) is my favorite RH creature, but the Cyclops and Dragon are the definitive versions for me in movie history! This is a great fantasy adventure film,with marvelous special effects. If you are young and are not familiar with Ray Harryhausen's work, long before there were CGI creatures they had to create these monster's 3 dimensionally and no one did it better than Mr. Harryhausen! Willis O'Brien may get the credit for creating Stop Motion,but Ray(having been influenced greatly by seeing King Kong)perfected it! There is a quality that is lost with CGI that Ray acheived with his creatures. These films may seem dated to some now,but they are treasured by those of us that grew up with them! I can't tell you how many of our great actors and directors have been influenced by this man. This is a classic and deserves it's due!
