I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

In our deadly atomic age, a new US government agency is formed. It's named the Office of Scientific Investigation (OSI) and its agents are called "A-Men". Though, "this sounds like the final word of a prayer, it is not." California A-Man Richard Carlson (as Jeffrey "Jeff" Stewart) is in charge of research at OSI. After kissing pretty pregnant but skinny wife Jean Byron (as Connie Stewart) goodbye, Mr. Carlson joins assistant scientist King Donovan (as Dan Forbes) at work and immediately learns there are dangerous levels of radiation in the air. Eventually, "The Magnetic Monster" could cause Earth to fly out orbit and into outer space...The structure this film clearly indicates it was intended to be a series. Begin taking away the stock footage, and it looks more like a TV pilot episode. This version did not make it to the small screen, but similarly-themed shows appeared for the next five decades, at least. Curt Siodmak and Ivan Tors make this an intriguing story, with observations on creation, evolution and the Big Bang. Herbert L. Strock works overtime on editing in airplane and "Gold" (1934) footage. Have fun in the hardware store with Byron Foulger (as Simon), William "Billy" Benedict (as Albert) and Elizabeth Root (as Joy); she has excellent lawnmower jumping skills.****** The Magnetic Monster (2/18/53) Curt Siodmak ~ Richard Carlson, King Donovan, Jean Byron, Byron Foulger

A routine but kind of amusing entry in the science-fiction series of the early 1950s. I missed the first half hour or so, so I'm filling it in from sequelae of the early events.Some ancient experimental physicist invents a new element with lethal powers. Like the man-eating plant in "The Little Shop of Horrors," it must be fed a certain amount of energy on a regular schedule, or it turns magnetic, attracts every metal in sight, and destroys life. So far, so good. Only the thing, which started off as hardly more than a pinpoint of matter, gets bigger with every meal. Soon it will be so big and so dense, it will throw the earth out of orbit and you know what happens next.And, man, this element is heavy. The movie is loaded with all kinds of scientific jargon. Most of it got by me. But I did catch the fact that the molecular weight of this thing is somewhere above one thousand. This brought me to instant alert, Darwinian points quivering. A cloud of half-remembered concepts drifted back into my ken from high school -- molar mass, molecular weight, Avogadro's number, isotopes -- but somewhere along the way they'd lost much of their semantic luggage. I think I can feel a molar mass right now with the tip of my tongue. It's right back there, see? It's been bothering me for a week, doctor.Anyway, I get the impression that this thing is pretty "heavy". There is also a suggestion that when the original physicist discovered this element, he pulled off a kind of slow-motion replica of the Big Bang, the instant when the universe was created out of nothing. The result of the Big Bang was a couple of "forces" like gravity and a horde of hydrogen atoms. That's okay, as far as it goes. But if the universe is everything that now exists, and if it's expanding, what the hell is it expanding INTO? Well, never mind that. The attempt to stop this thing from growing becomes frantic, along the lines of "The Andromeda Strain." The only way to stop it is to bombard it with more electrical energy than it can possibly absorb, so it chokes to death. The computer arrives at a minimum of 900,000,000 volts, which is an awful high figure. I mean, your brain only generates a measurable 10 microvolts. Well, that's about the average; I can't speak for any particular brain.The US has no such generator but Canada does, buried beneath the ocean depths in Nova Scotia. Canada reluctantly agrees to its use. The underground control room is about the size of a large living room and is filled with curious knobs, buttons, levers, and winches. Richard Carlson and his buddy, King Donovan, place the entirety of the dangerous mass in the death chamber and begin activating the Super Duper Generator. Does the plan work? Well, we're still here, aren't we?

Classic low-budget sci-fi thriller from the early 50s about a new element created through radiation that threatens the Earth's very existence. About a third of the movie is stock footage, including scenes from a very old German sci-fi flick, GOLD. The movie moves along at a fairly rapid pace, and scientific investigator Richard Carlson and partner King Donovan give it a bit of class. The monster is basically invisible, so any kids watching this back in the day must have been sorely disappointed. For adults, it serves as a Cold War-era cautionary tale. Check out the cars; they are hideous and hysterical at the same time. Filmmaker Ivan Tors made the wonderful GOG a year after this, and did plenty of TV work.

A radiation experiment goes wrong, multiplying a magnetic field to earth shattering proportions that only 'A-men' specialists can deal with.The emphasis here is on realism, something 1950's sci-fi movies weren't often concerned with. The screenplay builds effectively from the appliance store to the MANIAC laboratories to the Canadian deltatron. Each stage is depicted in realistic fashion, even the final fictional deltatron that's also very impressive in size and operation. Suspense builds as a fateful critical mass approaches, but there's less of a fear factor, probably because there are few grisly casualties along the way.Good thing Richard Carlson is in the cast since he saved the world from doom a number of times during the decade. Here, he's his usual serious self, a good choice for the role. But my favorite scene is aboard the passenger plane where Prof. Denker is dying of radiation. As Denker, aging actor Leonard Mudie really looks like he's expiring-- sunken cheeks, limp body, stricken behavior. It's one of the most convincing death scenes I've seen in years.I'm a bit surprised the movie isn't better known than it is. For example, it was made the same year as It Came From Outer Space (1953)-- also with Carlson in the lead. But whereas the latter is well known, Magnetic Monster isn't, despite its many strengths. My guess is that this film dwells too much on technical jargon and realistic effects, instead of hokier eye-catching features like aliens or mutating creatures that fire the imagination.But, whatever the story, the movie was better than I expected and is worth catching up with.
