Leave your thoughts about The 27th Day.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzMakes you wonder how the film could be so terrible if the novel got some good reviews and was even chosen a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsShane BurridgeSmart enough to keep you watching and earn your forgiveness for clunky moments along the way |
| User ReviewJames HVery much a product of the Cold War, but an interesting curio. It is predictable, yet it has a unique and imaginative plot. The acting is fine, nothing spectacular however. |
| User ReviewLarry YLa ida es bastante buena. Exijo un remake ya! :-) |
| User ReviewAllan CGood little 50s sci-fi. It's similar to "Day the Earth Stood Still" but not nearly as good. This was another film shown on TCM that's never been released on VHS or DVD, so it was fun to catch it. |
| User ReviewVilém NSome sci-fi is somewhat based, however loosely, on established reality and then there's the other kind, the sci-fi that simply runs amok with speculation and fantasy. This is that latter breed, rooted in 1950's Cold War fears and yet looking to the skies (as some do nowadays) for saving redemption. That happens when a visitor from a dying outer space clan offer the residents of good ol' Ma Earth a choice: utter war or no? Like the 50's this seems clunky and awkward to our modern day aesthetics, but its well meaningness might turn a few converts despite some heavy-handed plot decisions. |
| User ReviewJesse RThe cold war says it all. Not really a spectacular movie, but living during the cold war, this would seem pretty scary. |
| User ReviewErik GStarts out really great, with five random people (L.A. journalist, Chinese peasant woman, Soviet private, German professor, and young Englishwoman) given the ultimate weapon for 27 days as a test of humanity's maturity. The alien then tells the world he gave the five something very important but does not specify what. The middle is a pretty taut thriller, but it does a ridiculous copout at the climax. |
| User ReviewMark DDon't be fooled, this isn't a SciFi thriller, but instead a talky message movie about international peace. |
