Warning From Space Movie Review
Aliens come to Earth to warn Japanese scientists that a meteor is about to crash into the planet. Now it is a race against time to stop the end of mankind. This 1956 Japanese science fiction flick came out in the early days of such films, and turned out to be rather inspirational for many other films to come--Stanley Kubrick even named it as an influence when he made 2001: A Space Odyssey. How or why is beyond me, but hey, we do have to give the film credit for it. We see the aliens right as the movie starts. I know you're wondering what they look like...
This is them...seriously
Knowing the humans would laugh at them be scared if they showed up looking like this, the alien they send to warn the humans of the impending doom takes human form, so sadly, we don't get to see them in their starfish form for long. This movie has lots of dialogue and not much else for much of the run, and most of it is dreadfully boring, so there is a lot to sit through to get to the good stuff. When we finally get there, we get some scale model disasters and gloriously bad special effects, so there is a pretty good payoff for your patience. As fun as these few minutes are, however, I do not recommend sitting through the rest of this film to get to it. Skip this one.
