20 Million Miles to
Earth (1957)
Directed by Nathan H.
Juran this film stars William Hopper, Joan Taylor and Frank Puglia.
An American space ship returning from Venus crashes in the sea off
Sicily and a creature escapes from the rocket.
Science was clearly
thrown completely out of the window for this film and the plot is
pretty much silly bordering on ridiculous. The special effects are
provided by legendary stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen and actually
do not age as badly as you would have thought even though they are
fairly obvious. As a B-movie science fiction piece this film is not
too bad for something of it's era but to modern viewers it is pretty
terrible.
2/5
