The electronic engineer Dr. Cal Meacham is a prominent scientist that is studying industrial application of nuclear energy and also a great pilot. One day, he receives a different condenser and soon his assistant Joe Wilson receives a manual instruction and several components of a sophisticated machine.

Movie Reviews

DVDJournal.com - 8/10 by Mark Bourne...even though its increasingly camp elements have aged poorly, it deserves respect as one of the more ambitious, grandiose, and important science fiction adventures of its time.
Classic Film and Television - 6/10 by Michael E. GrostPioneering sf drama about space travel is rich in storytelling, atmosphere, visual design and color.
User Review - 10/10 by Juuso LGreat ideas and concept, not well made but what do you expect for this kind of film - it's fun to watch - clips from this film are used in an episode of 1970's Wonder Woman TV series. It had ground breaking ideas like a 'secrect' group of Alein scientists trying to train our scientist and get ideas and help from them - the radio active planet bombs and two layered planet surface were used in the 1979 Anime series Star Blazers It even has giant insect monsters! what more could you want I love this film!
User Review - 10/10 by Garrett HAnd then I'll ram my ovapositor down your throat, but I'm not an alien!! 5 stars for having your brain outside your head, bugmin.
User Review - 10/10 by Carlton RLavish horror,Sci Fi from 1955,One of the first to be in Technicolor,One of the best early films of this genre.This is a great story,some very early Si fi Teck Stough, its very well thought out, and quite gripping,The scenery in the Invasion is great,But it has some sadness in the ending,
User Review - 10/10 by drain bAmazing color! a dark fairy tale of impending doom. classic 1950's"universal" style,where science and human nature collide.
User Review - 10/10 by C AMy mind is my own, and nobody's going to change it! I'm not going into that room!
User Review - 10/10 by Cassie M*laughs at the films* Random title!
User Review - 10/10 by Annette BWhy worry? Lose the plot & just enjoy the psychedelic travelogue on lovely planet Metaluna. We're not alone! Our hosts on this intergalactic odyssey to Skegness are: an " American Dad" refugee, Faith " Queen B" Domergue, and an Alan Thicke impersonator played by Jeff Morrow. Beneath a sky of crashing meteors a bevy of big-brained beauties await to service your every need. (My what big claws they have.) Back on Earth, you'll get to go panning for gold, lead and uranium at the Manhattan project historic village. See: The futility of Reagan's Star Wars program, it's prescient. See: Gilligan's professor, he's present. See: Hallucinogens being used far more widely in Ol' 55 than any one ever imagined. Yes, it's a lot of fun at the happiest place on earth, via the unhappiest place not on earth! What more Rex Reason would you need to enjoy this trip? (And, it is a trip.)
User Review - 10/10 by Craig CProbably the most under-appreciated science fiction classic from the Fifties. Imaginative and literate, only hard core fans of the era mention it. Yet it remains as timeless and relevant as when it was released. Essential.
