This Island Earth - 1955 - 5/10
r
Aliens enlist unknowing Earth scientists to help in their eternal struggle with other aliens.
Talk, talk, talk, amidst spacious sets, and a slow moving giant potato bug.
Saw this as a kid, thought it was lame.
Saw it later in the 70’s, part of a 3D festival. Audience, and me, hopelessly stoned, all laughed.
Now … Why? Why did I watch again? Why do some consider this turkey a classic?
I did think of one thing: In any conflict between two advanced civilizations, DO NOT GET INVOLVED.
Whether on distant Metaluna, or an argument between China and Russia, keep far away.
