Charming Homage
This Movie does not Make Fun of Itself. The Movie Itself is Fun. A Completely Straight Rendition of a 1950's Sci-Fi Movie that is a Loving Homage. There is some Inherent Humor Culled from the Zeitgeist of the Time and it Looks Gorgeous.
A Film that Time-Travels to a Distant and by Now a Completely Foreign Land, that of America Circa 1957 where Wives Wear Pearls while Cooking Breakfast. It is a Smart Movie that is Hardly Witty or Clever it just goes about its Business of Making a Movie as it might have been made when things like this were being Made for the Matinée Crowd and Drive-Ins.
It's Entertaining and a Love for the Fifties Sci-Fi, the Very Good Ones along with the Cheapies and the Utterly Exploitive, will Benefit the Viewing Experience. All the Cast Hits the Right Note and the SFX are Impressive at Recreating the Limitations of the Era.
Overall, a Must See for Movie Buffs with Wide Appeal Unlikely. But if You Love this Stuff there is Much to Love in this Little Take on a Time and Place that will Never Again Exist Except in Nostalgic Memories and for that this One Deserves Applause.
