I am envious of those with the chance to watch this movie for the first time. I have watched it numerous times over the years. The suspense the movie creates is palpable. Its use of the desert to build a feeling of angst is wonderful. Younger viewers may be disappointed with the special effects. This is a movie from another time. I would compare it to episodes of The Twilight Zone. Its about the plot, the atmospherics, the acting, not the props. Highly recommended. Why only 4 stars? This was MEANT to be a grade B movie, a good movie with a serious message, but still a Saturday afternoon matinee, drive-in classic. I would reserve the fifth star for films that were trying to be a blockbuster, but this is one of the best of its kind, surpassed only by The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet and a few others from that time.

Last thought, the scenes with the girl in her ball gown, beckoning to the scientist are great, straight out of Wurthering Heights. Eerie.

Sound is not normalized; one minute too quiet, next minute way too loud!!! Thus, I watch the other regular version on DVD.

One of the very best of the 50s 3-D films, so glad that it's finally available! Great story, great direction, and wonderful to see a film that doesn't have five different sub-plots! Just one, that's well done.

A Great and visionary 1950s sci-fi classic from Universal International, and the Top Sci-Fi classics of this decade-a great Blu Ray movie!!

I love this classic! Takes you to a different time and entertains. The 'Professor' from Gilligan's Island is in this one.

-"He's more than odd,he's an individual that thinks for himself"-
Ah,classic 50's dialogue.The man who delivers that line is refering to Richard Carlson who plays the lead in this film.He does a good job as the man whose story no one will believe.The part of his girlfriend is played by Barbara Rush.Even in her one-dimensional role,as the one person who DOES believe him,she really stole the show.Shes very likeable as his dedicated girlfriend(and a cutie patootie besides)and provides some of the films best laughs as she screams at everything she encounters including a boy wearing an astronauts helmet,the professor from Gilligans Island,and even a tree!!
The films desert and cave sets are very well detailed and the aliens are cool looking in a bizarre way(they have one eye that protrudes to make the most of the 3D that the movie was originally filmed in).Most of the spfx are fair except for a few scenes which were exceptional for the time period.
All in all this is a very satisfying picture and a great example of all the things that made this genre so entertaining.The movie is well paced and the film-makers do an exceptional job of introducing all the characters and setting up the conflicts in the first 20 minutes.

My only dissapointment is that the movie isnt available in its original 3D format.Maybe then I could have given it 5 STARS.
