My rating: 6/10
Will I watch it again? Maybe.
This isn't nearly as bad as the internet suggests. If
you look at who this was intended for (little kids on a Saturday lineup of
cartoons, maybe a chapter from a couple of serials and double feature (this
film being on the bottom) of sci-fi and action or comedy), then this doesn't
look so bad. Sure, it's goofy as hell. There's no doubt the alien
villain's (Ro-Man) costume is bargain basement, "what do we have lying
around to make a spacesuit?", and silly. The bubble-blowing alien
radio is just the best in dumb fun. It's an easy target to goof on this
flick which adds to the fun. Halfway through this 62 picture, a romance blooms
and it's off to make out in a field before heading back to home base to ask the
girl's dad for her hand in marriage. THE FUCK? It's courageous that
they are able to risk their lives when there's a robot monster on the loose
wanting to destroy the last surviving humans on Earth. And then they get
married and the occasion is a happy one despite the murderous alien outside
their walls. Whatever. It's a silly movie made for mindless
entertainment. As a soundtrack nerd, one of the things that tickles me
the most is that this is one of the first film scores from Elmer Bernstein.
