Movie Reviews of Target Earth
Movie Review: A little below the usual B-movie standard
Summary: 3 Stars
I hate to come down on B-movies. Even though a lot of people think they're cheesy and cheap, I feel they project a certain creativity. "It! The Terror from Beyond Space" (1958), "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" (1974)--but not "Target Earth" (1954) as much.
The plot and concept were perfect, in theory. A city has been evacuated due to the invasion of robots, most likely from Venus. A few stragglers must battle their way to freedom and safety.
However, the only sci-fi element used in the film was a robot--who represented a whole army of them. No spaceships--blurry laser beams and hollow acting.
"Target Earth" (1954) isn't that bad. If my copy didn't work any more, then I'd still buy another.
Movie Review: Target - Budget
Summary: 3 Stars
This was one of those films I always watched and enjoyed as a kid. Its starts off with a great begining. It does slow up in the middle but the end, considering the limited budget and special effects - is still efective. The quality of this DVD is very good. The people who made this movie loved these type of films and it shows. "Target Earth" is worth adding to any classic Science Fiction collection.Movie Review: Target Earth

I saw the movie as a child when the movie was only out for 6 years. It fascinated me back then, now it's kind of cheesy - but still fun to watch. Good buy for a sci-fi buff like me.
Thanks.
Movie Review: raw not so much panic
Summary: 2 Stars
I Love 50's Sci-Fi but the best thing about this is the DVD box....The Robot on the box is factors of 100 cooler than the one in the movie. If you want to see a so-bad-it's-good movie kind of like PLAN 9 then go for this but don't buy this thinking it's some kind of Forbidden Planet or D.T.E.S.S.
I will say that the idea behind the movie is interesting but it is let down by terrible effects even for this era (taken with a grain of salt and a Martini)....this movie COULD have been really good and would make an AWESOME remake in the right hands. I found the special features about the Director very interesting.
Movie Review: They saved Earth, but not the movie !
Summary: 2 Stars
I had never seen "Target Earth" before last night and was eager to watch something new from the atomic age of the 1950s in the sci-fi genre.
The dialogue, story, special effects (even for the 1950s) was simply atrocious and the acting was horrible.
Luckily I watched this movie via Netflix, so I will not waste my money purchasing it.
Richard Denning seemed to be just going through the motions here and being a fan of his, I was really disappointed !
