Review of This Island Earth (1955) by Chris S — 17 Feb 2008
It's hard to believe now that the wobbly special effects in This Island Earth took two and a half years to make, but this was state of the art in 1955. I really remember enjoying this movie when I was about ten, but watching it now I can see that there are more holes in the plot than there are craters on the surface of Metaluna! So, if you have fond memories of This Island Earth, my advice is to keep them and wait for the inevitable remake.
