Customer Reviews

I love this movie
Ok, it's a cheap B flick, and I've yet to find a really good copy of this movie, but I still love it. The movie simply works. The odd, erie music, the cardboard acting, the budget effects, all get pulled together in a fine Friday night sci fi space movie thanks to a great performance put in by Claude Rains. He really makes the movie, his acting simply transforms a typical 2 start budget sci fi into a 4 star gem. A must see for classic sci fi fans!

IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

From the beginning of the film, you know you are in store for what must be the most scratched film of all time - more than a car crash.
And half the time it's like a 3D film without the red side, without glasses - with green halos on the right of everything.
Sometimes there are more scratches than a cat's owner - vertical and otherwise and, yes they're green, instead of white.
Here's a clue: Near the end, I didn't know that was rain I was seeing until after a while. Yes, Claude Rains was in it.

The colour is always off, half the time like sepia tone, which is ironic because plants can't be green. It's not easy not being green. So, it truly looks like the first film ever made. This is confirmed by the special effects. No they were ok, but I found it really hard to watch the movie, although there weren't always more scratches than the stars in outer space.

I won't review the movie, because - I couldn't see the movie. No, one knows to always expect the expected.
But Claude Rains supreme, putting down all scientists but himself. There is actually 2 or 3 bits of unexpected humour. The true highlight is the spacey music, which isn't green.

If they opened up his chest they would find a formula where his hart should have been.
A professor (Claude Rains), "the Old Man" needs no new fangled instrumentality to tell him what he can figure out by calculus. Yes a mysterious planet (planet means wanderer) from another galaxy is on a collision course with earth. However the math does not add up when the planet instead of just missing earth takes up orbit. What can this mean? The professor says we must destroy it immediately.

If the sci-fi thriller part is not enough we have budding love stories to boot.

If the love angle is not enough we have a poor little doggy looking up to see if his master will return.

Standard space movie with good guys (us) vs. bad guys (them) and they have a secret that only those that are not tone def can fathom.
