Movie Description
Space scientist Dr. Russell Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife Carol (Joan Taylor) are working on a secret missile project, but every time their rockets are launched, they are intercepted and destroyed by the more advanced technology of mysterious flying saucers hovering near the Earth. The alien race has completely surrounded the planet, giving Earth the sixty days to surrender. The enemy spacecraft appear indestructible, and Marvin sets out to find a weapon that can defeat them. The special effects of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen are legendary, most notably in the scene in which flying saucers attack the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

    Introduction

    Great print, great remastering, preserving original film and audio--no "enhancements" or fake effects.  The reviews sum up what to expect from the movie, but the one con I might add is, so typical of these old sci-fi flicks is the ratio of 90% dialog to 10% action and effects (most of its 83 minutes is talk, keeping you waiting and waiting to see the handful of brief alien scenes). 

    Another major con is--and this always annoyed me, even when being terrified by the film as a kid--the aliens look like penis heads...like some of these "professional" reviewers have shown themselves to be, comparing the special effects to today's sophisticated tech.  And they forget that when kids saw this 50 years ago--and I'm sure that's who these movies were mostly meant for--kids were both astonished and terrorized.
