Too much of everything

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

If you cannot enjoy a film where the hero is a gorgeous cat with a magic collar then you probably also hate other fantasy films like the Harry Potter series. You certainly need to chill out and stop watching all those super-serious gritty movies and enjoy some escapist fantasy ones instead.This remains the one and only film that my wife and I have ever paid hard-earned cash to see more than once at the cinema. It's that good, but only if you are a cat-lover!

This film is based on actual events...The story focuses and is centralized on a cat - which through a mechanical mishap made a detour while traveling in his spaceship and lands on Earth.As this is a real account of actual events, it can only be confirmed that JAKE - the cat has come to terms with being on Earth.The details are very interesting - mainly due to the fact that the military did not try to hide this event and thus has been made public and is of public record.The President was informed of this visitor from another planet and even the mafia had ties to this event.Dealing with an energy crisis and alternative means of transportation was a very crucial and important matter at the time of the 70's when the cat came to Earth and has now evolved into much of a larger scale fiasco.Had the people only taken the advise of the cat, we - today - might not have nearly the problems which we now face on a grand scale - worldwide.I strongly believe that we should carefully go back over the details which the cat from outer-space had given to us in his incisive and informative quest to return back to his planet and put his words of knowledge into immediate action.Jake - the cat from outer-space obviously had the answers for this now crumbling world and this being already foreseen 30 or so years ago, should now be ventured into with all efforts and of course, credit given back to Jake in an effort to eliminate the damage done to our planet.What may scare you is - as the cameras were capturing live action, you will see that the Army puts in plenty of effort to kill the cat and even though the cat.For more details on this event, be sure to ask your congressman for the files located in CIA headquarters.

I love the Cat From Outer Space and did you realize that Jake the cat took Ken Berry's motorcycle over a fence 4 years before ET flew bikes over the forest. Mr. Spielberg, did you see this movie. I would like to see Disney remake this movie with Tim Allen in the Ken Berry role and a sphynx cat in the title roll or even a Devon Rex, they kind of look like ET. Ken Berry can have a cameo as the cat vet as did Alan Young in the original, but he can have an abyssinian as a pet whose name is Jake. The voice for the feline e.t. could be Zachary Ty Bryan, Tim's oldest son from Home Improvement and the voice from the mother ship could be that of Patricia Richardson.I love any movies featuring cats and I would love to see more made. I have fond memories of The Cat From Outer Space, I especially loved the collar idea and Ronnie Schell who provided the voice for him. Remember Ronnie Schell as Duke from Gomer Pyle, shazam! Ronnie was even in the movie but another actor dubbed his voice because he was the voice of Jake. There have been a good deal of feline actors in the movies, starting with a cat named Pepper during the silent era to the cat Neopoleon in the movie Mrs. Miniver, Rhubarb(Orangey)a cat who appeared in many films and even t.v. shows, the great Morris, Tonto, Tao, whom was also the original That Darn Cat, Sassy, and more that I can't think of now. Well, that's it for now.

I remember loving this movie when I was a young lad. I mean it had a 'Cat from Outer Space'. A guy got beer spit into his face. The main character what's his name (Ken Berry) was your typical Disney Nerd who did all types of wacky things that a kid of around 7 would find funny. He didn't even get hit in the nuts to make kids laugh. If it was remade today that would happen I'm sure. Looking at his movie 30 years later, it is still an amusing and entertaining Disney film, although perhaps not as fun as when I was young, as I have matured as a film viewer. But still there is some magic in this film.The sci-fi concept is interesting. Cats have developed their brains to the capacity that they can move and manipulate the world around them. Man in his primitive state has to use boring old tools. My roommate laughed as the little kitty walked out of the spaceship. You don't expect a cat to come from a UFO, so that is funny. And there are occasional yucks throughout the picture. What could have been a 5 minute skit on Saturday Night Live was stretched to 98 minutes of wholesome family fun. This won't make the AFI 100 laughs list, but its still a film to watch with a smile.The film isn't without its problems. Too many people are to willing to believe without any form of skepticism that a cat from another planet needs to fix his spaceship. The big chase scene at the end isn't great but isn't enough to get it mocked on Mystery Science Theater.But on the plus the film also shows how sometimes to help others out you must sacrifice your own dreams and desires. The sacrifice made by one of the characters in this film is quite profound for a silly little Disney comedy, but raises it above your average Disney comedy. Extra added reasons the film is fun is because of Mash's Harry Morgan, Sandy Duncan and Planet of the Apes actor Roddy McDowell.This would be worth having in your video library (if you're a person who does that sort of thing) simply because it is family friendly film that you could show your kids without being embarrassed. It's more entertaining then Disney's 'Moon Pilot' and is worth checking out for a care free night of lite comedic sci-fi.
