Title: Just what were they after?
Review: One can only guess at what the producers of this were after: comedy? Not that funny. Drama? Not particularly interesting. Homage or spoof of 50s sci-fi? Maybe - although the contrived script and plot loopholes read as if they were trying to imitate rather than parody cheesey 50s flying saucer movies. The first part of the film holds up well with lots of suspense and tension, but after the aliens start to pound earth the whole thing just comes apart. Entertaining only if you're willing to put your brain on hold.
