Review: This film about two people going to another planet is terrible and corny in every way. Watch the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version instead.

Summary: A very excelent movie if you seen the other version
Review: This movie isn't realy a bad movie. I thought it was a very good sci-fi movie. Still as I watch this one the Jokes from Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie keep playing in my head. You have to check out Mystery Science Theater 3000. Makes the movie much better.

Summary: I enjoyed the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version better.
Review: This movie is from the golden age of science fiction movies, offering outdated special effects that are fun and cheesy. This is not a movie that provokes much in the way of mental stimulation as it is from a perspective of space travel as something that is fantastic. However, after watching this movie, rent the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of this movie and see if the witty criticisms that are thrown out comply with your own. This is a classic.

Summary: A Classic Of Early Science Fiction
Review: It has taken me a few decades but I have finally seen the film This Island Earth (I had to buy it first). I must say that I was not disappointed by this well-crafted tale. A physicist working on new power from uranium and the transmutation of elements to create more uranium, gets involved in a project of a far grander scale. Replacement parts are ordered for the lab but the parts that arrive seem far superior to anything that should be available. Then a catalogue of other equipment arrives and soon the lab is set on building a strange device. The device is a communications console which puts the scientist in contact with a white-haired man seeking out talented scientists to tackle the issue of world-wide peace. The scientist joins a small think-tank of top researchers who are working on increasing the energy available from nuclear reactions. But it soon becomes apparent that all is not what it seems. The head of the project, and his assistant, are actually aliens. They are hoping that the human scientists can come up with a way to save their home planet. The story then escalates to include the alien world and their plight at the hands of a second, and vicious, race of aliens. We learn of motives, deceits, and how far the peaceful will go to save their own home. Distrust and compassion struggle against one another until the film's conclusion. This is not a typical B-movie of alien invasion. Unlike most of that type this film was not a quick project. Two and a half years were spent in the making so that the film is pretty well consistent within itself. The pacing of the plot's revelations is well handled and almost resembles a classic tale of A.E. van Vogt. This is definitely a film for fans of the great black and white science fiction films.
