Summary: Another Fun Film By Director Jack Arnold
Review: -"He's more than odd,he's an individual that thinks for himself"-Ah,classic 50's dialogue.The man who delivers that line is refering to Richard Carlson who plays the lead in this film.He does a good job as the man whose story no one will believe.The part of his girlfriend is played by Barbara Rush.Even in her one-dimensional role,as the one person who DOES believe him,she really stole the show.Shes very likeable as his dedicated girlfriend(and a cutie patootie besides)and provides some of the films best laughs as she screams at everything she encounters including a boy wearing an astronauts helmet,the professor from Gilligans Island,and even a tree!! The films desert and cave sets are very well detailed and the aliens are cool looking in a bizarre way(they have one eye that protrudes to make the most of the 3D that the movie was originally filmed in).Most of the spfx are fair except for a few scenes which were exceptional for the time period. All in all this is a very satisfying picture and a great example of all the things that made this genre so entertaining.The movie is well paced and the film-makers do an exceptional job of introducing all the characters and setting up the conflicts in the first 20 minutes.
My only dissapointment is that the movie isnt available in its original 3D format.Maybe then I could have given it 5 STARS.

Summary: It came and its here to stay
Review: This is one of if not the greatest film of the 50's sci-fi genre. The atmosphere is creepy along with the sound effects. Mans seemingly uncontrolable urge to destroy what he doesnt understand makes for a great struggle against a harmless alien craft here by mistake. Great acting.

Summary: SEMINAL VEHICLE!!
Review: I was too young at three to see this one at the theater, but Daddy told me it was one of the first in the "Invaders From...." genre, along with "The Thing", to use the device of the seldom-glimpsed or barely seen monster. That Ray Bradbury wrote the screemplay is an amazing plus. I watched this with my three-year-old granddaughter, and we "pretended" to be scared so we could cuddle on the couch! Grampa 'was' the alien in the fishbowl, POV shots, 'chasing' little Amie over the bolsters! SEE THIS WITH A KID!

Summary: Sympathetic portrayal of aliens
Review: Misplaced and frightened aliens hide their crashed spaceship in the desert and then have to take over several human bodies to effect repairs (one of those zombified is, of all people, the Perfesser from "Gilligan's Island"). Unlike most sf movies from the '50's, which portray aliens intent on either scorching or conquering the Earth, this one portrays them as terrified of humans and just wanting to get the hell away from us. Definitely unusual, and not as well-known as it should be.

Summary: One of the best from the 1950s
Review: It Came From Outer Space was one of the first, and best, of the SciFi movies produced in the 1950s. This film gave Richard Carlson a lot of notoriety, and he went on to star in Creature From the Black Lagoon and Earth versus the Flying Saucers. He was typecast to these types of movies, much like John Agar. The storyline is solid, the special effects are good for 1953, and the Arizona desert, the mine shaft and the eerie music provide a great backdrop for a fun, entertainment and spooky movie. Great for a Saturday night sleepover with plenty of popcorn and cokes.

Summary: Good stuff not costing millions to make.
Review: Very good Sci Fic movie. Drama and plot unfold, along withgreat special effects for its time, to compensate for today's milliondollar movies with their million dollar special effects. A true classic that belongs in your library collection.

Summary: Enjoyable sci-fi movie
Review: This is an entertaining, thought-provoking movie that was filmed twice, once in 3D, and the other in regular format. The acting is good and filled with suspense. I have a soft spot for 1950's sci-fi movies anyway, but this one is definitely above average.

Summary: A Great Classic 50's SciFi Movie
Review: If you love classic SciFi from the 50's then you will love this one! This includes a great story, aliens, an arizona desert setting, filmed in black and white, and eerie music. I remember watching this on TV for the first time in the 70's, when I was small, and loving it... but I could never seem to find it on TV again. I was thrilled to discover it on video. Now I have fun watching it with my 2 kids along with a bowl of popcorn and all the lights turned out!
