Movie Reviews of The Cosmic Man
Movie Review: Review of Cosmic Man film.
Summary: 4 Stars
I believe that this film does have a significant message even for people in the early part of the 21st century. Destruction of what you do not understand is not in the best interest of society. Listen to what other people of various races and cultures have to teach. We can all learn something from other people and cultures. The message that war is destructive to all societies is never an old message.
Summary of The Cosmic Man
His hypnotic eyes see all! An Atomic Age thriller, "The Cosmic Man" is about a strange spherical spaceship that arrives on Earth, bringing with it a benevolent alien being from beyond the stars--a being that exists in the negative world of shadows. Is he here to destroy the world or bring it peace? Humanity stands in the balance. A powerful and engaging sci-fi saga, inspired by "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Starring legendary horror star John Carradine as the dark, mysterious Cosmic Man, this is one of the great fifties drive-in theater classics that thrilled teenagers of the "Ozzie and Harriet" generations.Virtually The Day the Earth Stood Still retold, The Cosmic Man is another moralistic antiwar film with a kindly, intelligent alien who makes the U.S. Army look like destructive dunderheads. Bruce Bennett stars as the Robert Oppenheimer-type scientist who feels guilty about having created the atomic bomb and is now cautious about the relationship between science and the military. He's called in to investigate a mysterious floating white sphere believed to be from outer space. John Carradine is the helpful alien the army brass wants to exploit until they begin to fear his superior powers. Bennett fights to understand and save the Cosmic Man from trigger-happy soldiers and toady scientists. The special effects are charming because of their cheapness. The Cosmic Man first appears in negative but passes himself off as human by wearing a trench coat and kooky glasses with eyes painted on them. Add to that some hams in supporting actor roles and occasionally ridiculous dialogue. Look for Griffith Park Observatory doubling as a science lab! --Margaret Griffis
