Movie Reviews

Classic Film and Television - 6/10 by Michael E. GrostCreative, idealistic science fiction film.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Frank WilkinsAn eerie reminder that a decent script and adept direction can overcome even the lowest of budgets.
User Review - 10/10 by Michael CA superb low-budget variation on THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL from poverty row genius Edgar G. Ulmer.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UHaving two older brothers,one much much older than I, I was introduce to many old sci-fi flicks not to mention stacks of Fangoria and Monster Mags everywhere...........This is a classic movie,sit back late in the dark and enjoy.
User Review - 10/10 by David LOscar contender right here. Never given its due. If you see only one movie this year, make it this one!!
User Review - 8/10 by armand eMy very first SciFi film, when I was a child. This thing scared me to death - I was under the seat in the scary scenes. I bought it on DVD recently to see how much the visions in my mind deviated from the film. It was still an enjoyable film, well acted, lo-tech special effects (why an advanced race would put the air control valve in a place you couldn't reach is curious ;-)
User Review - 8/10 by Tim SWhile The Man from Planet X seems to be nothing more than a cheap B movie from the 50s sci-fi craze, it winds up being better than many of its counterparts. First things first on this one: it's a no budget movie, and the filmmakers were given only a week to complete it. With that amount of time and little to no money, you would expect them to produce something along the lines of Plan 9 from Outer Space. As it turns out, they did the best they could with what little they had. The characters and the plot are all set up fairly well and the plot itself is a bit intriguing, which is saying a lot. It's not the most original of plots, but the monster itself is totally alien. It doesn't speak English and can't communicate with humans at all, which is already a step up from something like The Day the Earth Stood Still wherein Michael Rennie spoke English well. The cast is fairly good and they do the best with the tiny sets that they have, and there's some atmosphere in there to be had as well. I kind of liked the movie more than I thought I would and was surprised by it, and I'm sure that many people who are into this era of B movies are when they watch it too. It's not a perfect movie, but it's much better than I expected to be, and I'd say I'd recommend it.
User Review - 8/10 by Justin LA great low-budget sci-fi thriller. Well worth the watch.
User Review - 8/10 by James ROne of, if not the first alien invader movie(s). It's 1951, and it's still good. I loved how the alien species was merely a bit higher tech, not god-like, as we tend to see alien races depicted in modern sci-fi; they couldn't even communicate -- except through geometry!
