Our hero, a family man who possesses a stunningly gorgeous wife and two beautiful children, wakes up one morning to find his world has drastically changed around him. With the churches locked up, the children off to military training facilities, and his betrothed a lifeless shell of what she once was, our hero must fight a never-winning battle against this new cosac-horde that threatens to annihilate the American way of life. Good thing in the end it was all a dream..or WAS IT?!! Webb even shadows the players off in the wings in a Serling-like hosting spot through-out the feature.
It was this kind of ignorance that fed the fire of the Macarthy-era, with most likely Webb in full support of the movement. Campy, humorous, but also a low-down, dirty shame at the same time. Although it wouldn't be able to fill an entire episode of MST3K, it would make a excellent candidate for an opening short.
Frank Lund, w.bate@sk.sympatico.caA geologist tries to find the ultimate source of natural energy by tapping into the earth's core. Unfortunately, his drilling causes a crack in the earth's crust which eventually results in a chunk of the crust being blasted into space and becoming a new moon. In addition to having loathsome special effects, the scientific concepts used in this movie were apparently conceived by a group of third-graders. (If I were to make a guess, I would say these third-graders eventually went onto careers as staff writers for Star Trek: Voyager.) One is left wishing that the footage for this film had been blasted out into space instead- it is insulting to have to share the planet with this movie.
Erica Drescher, ADresc9197@aol.comGeena Davis looks considerably more macho than her pathetic leading man. There is a lot of innuendo and stuff that was intended to be funny. None of it is.
And it just goes on and on, explosion after explosion after explosion. Sort of like having your head hit with a piledriver for 2 hours.
