Thoughts/Spoilers
- This movie’s remaster sure looks nice. I love the colors
- Dr. Clayton Forrester! I didn’t know MST3K got that name from this story
- That Geiger counter is giving organ-melting readings, and they say, “Maybe we shouldn’t let folks near this?”
- Did they introduce an ethnic minority just to have someone to kill off?
- Vaults and magnets? What in the name of Lost?
- The alien periscope is snake-like
- If I saw bisexual-colored smoke on the horizon, I, too, would drive there.
- These aliens destroy everything when they land. But let’s not evacuate the town yet.
- Reverend Uncle Matthew’s a bit of a dolt.
- I like these special effects! Shooting sparks and smokey lights, folks glowing like an x/ray before vaporizing, and everything on fire.
- The horse stampede looks stunning!
- A giant alien spacecraft has crashed into my house. Let’s stay in the house, I guess?
- Quit whispering about how cool the tech is of the thing pursuing you, Dr. Forrester
- After the second act of info-dump, this has become boring and heavy on god
- Let’s all hang out and watch an atomic bomb go off. At least the effects are still cool
- And it ends with a miracle??
