About this movie

Aliens are everywhere, and they're attacking planet Earth in one of Ray Harryhausen's most amazing stop-motion sci-fi classics. Dr. Russell Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) works for Operation Skyhook, a government task force sending rockets into space to probe for future space flights. But when the rockets begin mysteriously disappearing, Dr. Marvin investigates along with his wife Carol (Joan Taylor), only to find the rockets are being intercepted by an army of space aliens who give humanity an ultimatum: Loyalty or death! As the aliens begin attacking cities and landmarks across the Earth - including an unforgettable assault on Washington, D.C - its up to Dr.Marvin and his wife to figure out how to stop these diabolical creatures before its too late. 1956, renewed 1984 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

Cheesy, cheesy, and finally more cheesy! The movie was good to watch, undoubtably... it just had bloopers! For example, in one scene the saucer already had exposed its death ray: they showed the same saucer again 30 seconds later and the death ray was activating, coming out of the saucer! I found the movie to be quite funny and entertaining: for its era it had a plot, as well as amusing! I’ve watched the movie a few times already!

As usual with 50s sci-fi, there are plot lapses. But it's entertaining and non-cheesy even 59 years later.
