Sorry, this movie sucks

Best movie of this year hands down!

A lot of fun.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Some bad films have amusement value in their badness, and are entertaining as a result. This one isn't. No amusing lines of dialogue, no characters who are a "hoot", just a dull, plodding excuse for a plot that's a chore to get through despite the short running time. A guy in a gorilla suit with a plastic helmet is supposed to be an alien monster. Even the godawful The Creeping Terror had a more monster-looking monster LOL.

There's not much to say about this movie that hasn't already been said. I could talk about the plot or the characters and how bad they are, or how this movie has no sense of pacing and environment. But that's not why anyone would watch this movie. They'd watch it for the stupidity. And boy, will they not be disappointed. A quick list of idiocy: -The "robot monster" is a scuba diving gorilla. -His radio to his home planet spits out bubbles. -Somehow this lumbering buffoon has wiped out the entire human race. -His death ray is just random, seizure-inducing flashes. -"Dinosaurs" randomly pop in the middle of the movie for no reason. -Said dinosaurs are either reused footage or two wrestling crocodiles, one with a fin taped to his back. -And once again, the robot monster is a scuba gorilla. It's really quite remarkable. I suggest you all stop whatever measly activity you are currently partaking in and go view this movie on your nearest public domain website. It's free and you can also find an old Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode to ease you into the madness. You've been warned.

You have to know your sci-fi and enjoy all types of movies and understand the differences between camp and before it's time and just plain bad to "get"this film.First off it's made in 1953 and runs only 66 minutes.Short and to the point.Man has been discovered,deemed unworthy and will be destroyed.Not hard to understand after only 8 years and the memory of world war two and the atom bomb.So what we really have is the first real "post apocalypse" picture.It's even a tribute to "The Wizard of Oz"as its all in a child's dream. OK,OK,some real camp stuff,but hey it's 1953 and made THAT way.Lots of reference to TV however as the alien uses a "flat screen"TV to communicate and has TV antenna's in his fish bowl head gear over a ape suite.Yea,early "planet of the apes"inspiration??? It even has scenes no one would be allowed to shoot afterwards because of standards and practice codes dealing with child harm although in silly 1950's context. Bottom line,its bad because we expect so much,but if it was a 1950's film school project,"A",maybe it was ???By the way,Elmer Bernstein was music director and George Nader is a earlier version of Leslie Nielsen and that accent of John Mylong rivals Bela Lugosi however Gregory Moffett won't have anyone forgetting Judy Garland anytime soon.The rest of the cast including the love interest Claudia Barrett,are second rate. Still if you "like"cinema,this work is a must as early trail setting sci-fi or high camp but its NOT THAT BAD !!!!!!

This movie is often considered one of the worst movies ever made, but is it really that bad? To be honest, it's really not. Sure, the villain is no more than a guy in a gorilla suite, and the TVs are made of wood, but that's about it. In other words, the only real problem is the low budget, other than that it's fine. Let me explain.The movie is about the last few people on Earth who are being stocked by a monster named Ro-man. Despite the fact that Ro-man is just a guy in a gorilla suite, the movie does a nice job of making an interesting survival movie. Not to mention the spooky atmosphere with the constant sounds of sirens in the back round. Now some people may ask, "why does Ro-man have a bubble machine, why does he wear a diver's helmet?" The answer is simple. In the beginning of the movie, the boy (one of the characters) is seen playing with a bubble wand and wearing goggles. In other words, Ro-man is a work of the boy's imagination (the whole movie is supposedly a dream). Not to mention the fact that this is one of the rare movies to actually kill off a child character.In the end, if you imagine this movie to have a more threatening villain and a higher budget, it's not that bad. It's a shame these kinds of movies are always getting picked on by people who don't properly judge them.PS: It's better than Plan 9!
