[QUOTE="Saturlight, post: 240844, member: 233652"] I love this film. Made in the the 1950s, it's totally camp, and wonderful, plus the chick, Faith Domergue who plays Dr Ruth Adams, is really sexy in her '50s' clothes, hair, and make-up. Yummy! Err!!:-DOH! Back to the film... This intelligent slice of 1950s sci-fi - two and a half years in the making proclaimed the poster proudly - ranks among the best and most cleverly conceived of the genre. Really it's a film of two parts. A talky earthbound section finds brainy boffins being recruited, nay shanghaied, by the marvellously otherworldly Jeff Morrow to save his distant homeland from destruction by interplanetary warfare. That's followed by a full-blooded space opera featuring astounding surrealistic landscapes on the planet Metaluna and fearsome insect-like mutations with huge bulbous craniums. It's hokey at times, but its message is clear: the more advanced the technology, the greater the scope for destruction. Watch it.:D [/QUOTE]
