November 13, 2009I wasn?t expecting too much from this film, but I at least thought that the Star line up would mean something, for me it seemed a little unworthy of it?s cast, particularly Jack Nicholson and Glenn Close and found myself bored throughout.

September 9, 2009A loving parody of the classic 1950's 'Flying saucer' B-Movie. With a cast most directors would cut their right leg off to have, sending themselves up in the name of good clean fun! A welcome relief from the serge of awful big budget Alien films of the time.

May 15, 2008Thank you to the previous commenter. This movie is Tim Burton's tribute to B-movies therefore it's not supposed to be high tech special effects or anything. That's also part of what makes it such a great movie and it's sad so many people don't realize how incredible it really is.

May 8, 2008Stop going on about the graphics and whether it's because the budget was really low! They deliberatly made the graphics terrible. To mirror B-movies. That should be common knowledge by now.
