THE PLOT:
A strange spool discovery at the site of a UFO crash causes the first spaceship to travel to the planet Venus, the most
probable source of the alien language. Translating it on the way they learn of an alien invasion plan. But when arriving
Venus is a wasteland with no sign of life. What caused the Venusians to die, did it have to do with their plans for the Earth
and are they truly alone?
THE OPINION:
A clever movie but a little disappointing as well. I was hoping for more monsters. But it did keep you wondering what happened
on Venus and the connection to the real Venus is plausible.
I GIVE IT: (6 STARS)
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS)
+ GOOD EFFECTS (For 1959 great effects)
+ NICE DUB (Pretty good dubbing)
ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES)
- SLOW (The plot was very slow paced)
- NO MONSTERS (No real monsters in the whole movie)
