Really good special effects courtesy of Ray Harryhausen. The story is entertaining and I have to give plenty of points to the writers and the director for the creative weapon used to fight the alien saucers. The classic saucer design make for a couple of "hall-of-fame" sci-fi movie moments such as a saucer crashing into the dome of the Capitol Building and another slicing through the Washington Monument. Again this is Harryhausen's show.

Typical 1950s scary aliens film Even though the aliens came in piece And the scientists learnt that before killing them Despite not having the same weapons or the ability to [spoiler] slow down time[/spoiler] I wouldn't bother watching it again - pretty much if you have seen any 1950's flying saucer movie, you have seen this. The only interesting thing was for me was the dynamics of the scientists. All are very manly (the women being generally typists of delivering tea), smoking pipes was a sign of being educated, and in any given meeting, only 3 people were important, and the rest just stood around looking serious.

Restrained but still an effective piece of sci-fi pie.

Reports of flying saucers start coming in thick and fast until sure enough alien invaders begin to attack the Earth. Focal point of their attack is the U.S. Space Programe, can hero in waiting Russel Marvin conjure up a defence weapon to save More
