Such a shame - I love Harryhausen's special effects and they are as good as you'd expect here, but that's the only reason to watch this film. The Ymir is a fine creation, but far more animated than the rest of the cast. Apparently it was only set in Italy because Ray wanted a holiday there, but allows for some marvellous casual racism in the script for the Sicilian characters. Basically the screenplay is terrible - huge leaps of logic, poorly conceived characters, packed with hilariously bad lines ("fascinating... horrible, but fascinating...", "get that elephant out of there!!"). The Americans are also unintentionally idiotic, and militaristic to a fault - bullets don't work but keeping shooting anyway - bung some hand grenades in the Tiber - that'll flush it out! So much for the first alien lifeform on the planet being at all valuable - put a Sicilian zoologist in charge with his attractive but unqualified doctor assistant (the shoehorned romantic subplot is probably the most cringeworthy part of the whole affair). Nostalgics may call it a classic, but most of the fun to be had is by laughing at the constant stupidity on display.Russ Davis
Why is it always, always so costly for man to move from the present to the future?Dr No

I must say that the sound the creature makes is one of the most disturbing I've ever heard. It really freaked me out - but not because it was scary or anything, just really distasteful.dvdgrdnr
Colonel bob is a first class dick and terrible at his job. Why the girl was attracted to him is beyond me.Great stop motion though

Nice views of Rome in the 50's.mathiasa
20 million miles, less than 2 lightminutes.kombelpeter
If you ask me: crap, crap, crap, garbage. The character development is zero, the plot is very very thin and it's very unrealistic for people nowadays. And it has a VERY annoying 'romantic' subplot. Don't watch this.Jumping Elephant
