Review of The Mysterians

well, this movie is NOT very brilliant. lots of toys, poor budget, C series acting. You get giant rockets reminiscent of those Buster Krabbe 1930's Flash Gordon movies but the overall feeling is that we're dealing with some upscale (!) version of "plan 9 from outer space". The monster MOGERA will resurface decades later in the 1990's Godzilla movies. SFX are laughable, even back in the 1950's: most scenes are either garage sales toys or regular scenes with poor superposed effects, like the burning effect or else. Overall, not a movie worth any price and not a movie i'd watch twice. The Universal horrors of the 1930's and even Abbott&Costello meet Frankenstein had in comparison sky-high super SFX.
