I just saw this again, first time in decades. I still love it!
Yes, sadly the FX are very poor, but they are fun!
I do think the sets were done nicely, giving a cool surrealistic look to the world they were in.
And Carolyn Munro... WOW!
I like the sets as well. Maurice Carter did a great job with the production design; I think the plastic-looking fauna actually helps the film achieve a very "otherworldly" look. And I love the colors...nothing quite like it.

Yeah movies like this anymore have lost some of the magic these older ones had.
There is just a certain cool look to the older ones that CGI does not match.
The sets were fantastic! The Mahar grotto, the caves, the jungle, all brilliant! Having a pink sky made them that much better too.
shareYes I liked the sets too-colourful and the caves with the glowing gems- soothingly slow paced about the exploration of it all. Not faced based with quick edits like you would have today.
shareThe sets were eerie looking. Great scenery for the action.
