Movie Reviews of 20 Million Miles to Earth

Movie Review: ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MONSTERS RAY HARRYHAUSEN CLASSIC
Summary: 5 Stars

You just have to love this movie if you like old Sci- Fi Horror films. A good story, a super cool monster and great special effects! The poor Ymir, ya just have to feel sorry for him or.....it? It doesn't want any trouble,It just wants to be left alone. The monster from Venus, taken from it's home planet still in its egg. After it hatches it starts growing at a alarming rate in earths atmosphere. I don't think a stop motion monster has had this much charm since the original King Kong!The DVD transfer in good and there are some cool extras. A must have for any Harryhausen fan.

Summary of 20 Million Miles to Earth

Special-effects legend Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion talents and "Dynamation" (rear-projection) process are the highlights of the '50s-era creature feature 20 Million Miles to Earth. An American spaceship returns to Earth after a mission to Venus and crashes into the sea near Sicily. A sole survivor (William Hopper) is rescued, along with a specimen that quickly grows into a reptilian biped called the Ymir. The being eventually grows to 20 feet high and escapes its confines, whereupon it rampages through Rome before a showdown with the military. Despite lacking much of a personality, the Ymir is a marvelous showcase for Harryhausen's skills. Unfortunately, the rest of the film does not match his level of excellence; direction by Nathan Juran is perfunctory (his later collaborations with Harryhausen, including The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, are more lively), and performances and scripting are flat. Still, Harryhausen fans should enjoy this opportunity to see this phase of his career before he created his most enduring works. --Paul Gaita
