I love disaster films, even old ones, even bad ones, even bad old ones. This one though wasn't bad enough or cheesy enough to enjoy. It was just pathetic. It wasn't the WORST piece of garbage I've ever seen, those I won't even finish! I thought the special effects were OK - if it'd been say, 1990. For 2010 I expect more pizzazz and a lot more originality (and that was the GOOD part of the film).
The script was numbingly unoriginal, even predictable. Occasionally the dialog was too low to hear, and sometimes it was just read off woodenly, not always, but way too little feeling overall. Hello, Scriptwriter! Why'd you have those women stumble endlessly around in the desert? When they abandoned yet one more vehicle it was yawn-time.
I'm afraid I have never really thought about the criteria that makes a good actor, but I have the sense that it wasn't here. I think part of the fault lies with the director who should help bring out the very best performance of each actor.
Editing sucked. At points the scene switches to another place for no reason, with no explanation (but, to be fair, this happens often in films).
The Stepmother/stepdaughter relationship was so artificial, ewwwww.
The set used for the 'Military Base' was one of the few laughs in the film, walls looked like cardboard.
I can't think of a single moment that saves this movie that I'd want you to see. No Godzilla razing the city, no cow flying through the air, no cool costumes. Nothing.

This Movie was so bad that it doesn't deserve the 1 star I had to give it. If this movie had been made in the early 50s, there could maybe be some excuse for it. But it wasn't, and there is no excuse for making such a bad movie. I have seen science fiction made in the 50s that was much better than this. The other reviewers have already said everything that needs to be said. Don't waste your time or money.

Plan 9 From Outer Space now has a rival for the worst movie ever made. This movie is so bad that it actually may be worth watching for a laugh. There are so many glaring inconsistencies in plot, location, setting, time-line, and background that it is hard to believe it was not done on purpose. One example (and this should not be classified as a spoiler - nothing could spoil this movie any worse): the main character is shown on a space station one second before he blows it up with 8 nuclear bombs on board, and the inexplicably shows up alive after the event??? How many telephone poles can crash down on a car to necessitate searches for new vehicles? Roads are totally empty until the plot needs more vehicles, and then suddenly there are a lot of cars. The area has been devastated, but in a scene from high on a launchpad, the area and traffic in the background shows normal everyday life. Pathetic special effects are laughable. It appears the director had taken the script into the bathroom with him and mistakenly exchanged it with the toilet paper he had used.
