Xian C. @Filmclass Feb 5 Great early 50’s sci fi. If you think movies like this are corny you don’t understand this era’s sci fi. Cool concept executed well for the science and movie making tech of the day. Did I see Lucille Ball in an uncredited cameo? And Doc from Gunsmoke has a decent supporting role.

See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 3 Watching the original Invaders from Mars (1953) after the 1986 remake shows that both films struggle with the same fundamental issues. The original is disjointed and inconsistent, with a screenplay that bounces back and forth without building tension or narrative flow. Scenes rarely connect, and the story’s alien invasion premise never gains clarity or dramatic weight. The cast struggles with underdeveloped characters and uncertain performances, leaving the audience detached from the action. Direction is uneven, with inconsistent pacing and tone that prevent suspense or engagement. Even as a classic sci-fi, the film lacks cohesion, focus, and entertainment value. Both the original and the remake fail to deliver, leaving little reason to invest time. Invaders from Mars is muddled, lackluster, and ultimately disappointing.

See more Shadowman4710 T @RT96537255 05/04/2025 Visually appealing but hampered by a bizarre 3rd act that relies far too much on montage footage that appears earlier in the film. They seemed to have the ideas for a 60 minute film and then ended up stretching out to cover the rest of the run time. The acting is solid but not earthshattering. It's okay one time watch but there is a reason that "The War of the Worlds" gets far more attention. See more Read all reviews
