THIS ISLAND EARTH (1955)



 The main thing this movie has going for it is a really cool giant-brained, bug-like, slacks-wearing monster. Besides this it's a bit of a slow drag with a lot of over-explaining things or as a friend of mine stated it "this is all too sciency!". I did get a chance to view this in a theater recently but for some reason they decided to show a digitally-projected full-screen version which was clearly not the optimal way to view this 50s widescreen sci-fi epic. Visually it's all pretty impressive for the era in which it was made, there's some jerky Brainiac-looking aliens and that Metaluna Mutant will give ya such a pinch!
