Blimey, that takes me back...
...to my local cinema as a lad.
A stonkingly old-fashioned bit of fluff, great knockabout fun. It even had a Message, as one of the chief Martians showed the humans a warning of just how destructive war can be.
The giant octopus was very entertaining, and of course there was a fair bit of wonderful Victoriana on display. Typical Amicus cheapo rubber puppet monsters, though sometimes they were pretty effective, and almost always entertaining.
By 'eck, I wouldn't mind seeing that again now...
BTW, here's a 'six degrees of Kevin Bacon' type question:
Apart from the (tenuous) presence of Martians, what connection is there between 'Floorboards of Atlantis' and H G Wells...?

Well, you've all had a few hours, and none of you has shown any interest, but I'll tell you anyway...
The male chief Martian was played by the late Daniel Massey, son of Raymond Massey who played John and Oswald Cabal in H G Wells's 'Things to Come'.

I actually bought Warlords of Atlantis on DVD a few months ago. Who remembers that the Atlanteans are actually revealed to be Martians?
