Plot: Astronomer and all-around scientific hero Jeff Morrow (he of the stone face, Cro-Magnon brow, and heavy voice of dire intonation) discovers a new celestial body that suddenly changes course and slams ...( read more read more... )into the Pacific Ocean off the Mexican coast. Meanwhile a mysterious white light takes over the body of lab director John Emery, who becomes the eyes and ears of the UFO when it emerges days later as a skyscraper-sized robot. Morrow and his crew--including his beauty-with-brains girlfriend, Barbara Lawrence; wisecracking sidekick, George O'Hanlan; and computer, SUSIE, which whirs and blinks but offers little real help--leap to the rescue, but not before the Mexican air force takes on the giant in a scene reminiscent of King Kong. Director Kurt Neumann, best known for the original The Fly, gives this low-budget sci-fi thriller an impressive scope, sending the striking, austerely designed giant robot (a walking battery with piledriver legs) marching across a B&W widescreen frame like a relentless tank and punctuating the drama with an impressively chilling A-bomb blast. Though hardly a classic, this is one of the more interesting alien invasion movies of the paranoid 1950s. --Sean Axmaker

    This film Quality was about the best I have ever seen for Black and White. Must of been a high budget film back in the day. Some great scenes of early Air Force Aircraft, not sure that shots like these can be seen anywhere else. The Main Theme Monster was a little to simple for such great acting. One question when the UFO turned on the magnetic field why did only the doctors glasses move across the surface and not the helicpter? A Rental, I'll past on adding it to my collection.

    Interesting concept but poorly exectued...slow pacing, some awful sound effects and not much dramatic tension....acting is sub-par with a predictable ending.

    Saw this one when I was a little girl at about the time that my passion for sci-fi began. It's kinda cheesy, but fun.
