Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Rob HumanickOne of countless pieces of '50s pulp to come out of a social fabric defined equally by interest in the unknown and mounting Cold War paranoia.
CinePassion - 8/10 by Fernando F. CroceMachine gun-happy paranoia to The Day the Earth Stood Still's messianic disarmament
Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim Brayton[The finest] of these formula-driven alien invasion movies... and not only because its flying saucers are pretty much the best ever.
Juicy Cerebellum - 7/10 by Alex SandellThe name says it all. Campy entertainment.
User Review - 10/10 by Wayne T1950`s sci-fi at it`s best. Like The War of the Worlds - this is another 50`s film to have in your collection!
User Review - 10/10 by Jonathan SA sci-fi movie playing on the high paranoia surrounding the country in the 50s. Classic movie that trumps movies made today with ease.
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew SEpic Classic. Watch this before you die.
User Review - 10/10 by Noah NA nostalgic look at the baby-days of modern sci-fi movies.
User Review - 10/10 by venus wFun effects in this. Cool cinematography! Mid 50's Sci-Fi film warning of science having consequences.
User Review - 10/10 by gary tWOW.......WOW......WOW......WOW......WOW......JUST SEEN THIS MOVIE 4 THE 1ST TIME N THINK THAT THIS IS SUCH A GREAT MOVIE 2 WATCH.......its got a good cast of actors/actresses throughout this movie.....I think that hugh Marlowe (.R.I.P.), joan taylor (.R.I.P.), Morris Ankrum (.R.I.P.), John Zaremba (.R.I.P.), play good roles/parts throughout this movie......I think that the director of this sci-fi/fantasy/classics movie had done a great job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie.......WARNING THIS MOVIE CONTAINS STROBE LIGHTNING EFFECTS THROUGHOUT SOME SCENES THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE...... Visual effects Special effects expert Ray Harryhausen animated the film's flying saucers using stop-motion animation. Harryhausen also animated the falling masonry when saucers crash into various government buildings and monuments in order to make the action appear realistic. Some figure animation was used to show the aliens emerging from the saucers. A considerable amount of stock footage was also used, notably scenes during the invasion that showed batteries of U. S. 90 mm M3 guns and an early missile launch. Stock footage of the destruction of the warship HMS Barham during World War II was used for the U. S. Navy destroyer that is sunk by a flying saucer. Satellite launch depictions made use of stock film images from a Viking rocket launch and a failure of a German V-2 rocket. The voice of the aliens was produced from a recording made by Paul Frees (uncredited) reading their lines and then hand-jiggling the speed control of an analog reel-to-reel tape recorder, so that it continually wavered from a slow bass voice to one that is high and fast. During a question-and-answer period at a tribute to Ray Harryhausen and a screening of Jason and the Argonauts held in Sydney, Australia, Harryhausen said he sought advice from noted 1950s UFO "contactee" George Adamski on the depiction of the flying saucers used in the film. He also noted that Adamski appeared to have grown increasingly paranoid by that time. The film's iconic flying saucer design (a static central cabin with an outer rotating ring with slotted vanes) matches descriptions given to Maj. Donald Keyhoe of flying disc sightings in his best-selling flying saucer book Earth vs. the Flying Saucers was well received by audiences and critics alike, with Variety noting that the special effects were the real stars of the film. "This exploitation programmer does a satisfactory job of entertaining in the science-fiction class. The technical effects created by Ray Harryhausen come off excellently in the Charles H. Schneer production, adding the required out-of-this-world visual touch to the screenplay, taken from a screen story by Curt Siodmak, suggested by Major Donald E. Keyhoe's Flying Saucers from Outer Space." Earth vs. the Flying Saucers has reached an iconic status in that many films in the "flying saucer" subgenre that followed, imitated and incorporated many of the elements established by Ray Harryhausen. In an article for The New York Times film reviewer Hal Erickson noted that, "Anyone who's seen the 1996 science-fiction lampoon Mars Attacks may have trouble watching Earth vs. the Flying Saucers with a straight face." The later campy film could be seen as an homage to the era, especially to the contributions made by Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. man I think that this is such an enjoyable sci-fi movie 2 watch, its got such a great cast throughout this movie......I think that this is such a highly entertaining movie 2 watch, it is such an enjoyable movie 2 watch with a great cast throughout this movie........
