MGM
Directed by Antonio Margheriti
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)
This Italian space drama has one major flaw: it's boring. There are endless scenes of space personnel twisting knobs, looking at tiny monitors or bickering among themselves about who is in command. The aliens who threaten to take over the world consist of fog with green light shining on it. They take over human bodies and turn them into mindless automatons who act for the "good of the whole". Eventually we get a crew to Mars, but the first thing they do is order lobster tails for dinner and drink Martian nectar. Ironically, the Martians eventually die by being exposed to the Martian atmosphere.
