RIP, Rex.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Response to Peary\u2019s Review: <\/strong><br \/>\nAs Peary writes, this &#8220;colorful, imaginative, gadget-laden sci-fi&#8221; flick &#8212; based on a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/This_Island_Earth_(novel)\">novel by Raymond F. Jones<\/a>&#8221; &#8212; features &#8220;many fine special effects and some impressive art design of the alien planet&#8221;. It&#8217;s hokey and pulpy in many ways &#8212; starting with hunky &#8220;Rex Reason&#8221; (his real name) playing a chisel-jawed pilot\/scientist with a velvety baritone voice, and continuing with the laughably high-foreheaded aliens (trying to pass as humans??) and even more laughably huge-brained mutant monsters, which &#8220;are around for a few moments of suspense [and] laughs&#8221;. But everyone plays their roles straight, and we can&#8217;t help getting caught up in the interstellar drama of it all. According to IMDb, this film has been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0047577\/movieconnections?ref_=tt_ql_trv_6\">referenced countless times<\/a> (including a snippet shown in <em>E.T.<\/em>), and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s2097this.html#return 3\">DVD Savant<\/a> notes that it &#8220;has the distinction of being the first 50s Sci Fi picture to be given a thorough genre analysis, courtesy of Raymond Durgnat in his 1967 book <em>Films and Feelings<\/em>.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> <em>This Island Earth<\/em> is perhaps best known by modern audiences as the basis for <em>Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie <\/em>(1996), which I haven&#8217;t yet seen.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine special effects and art design<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects1.png 478w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects1-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects1-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects3.png 478w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects3-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects3-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects3-359x270.png 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects2.png 478w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects2-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects2-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects2-359x270.png 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"478\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects4.png 478w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects4-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects4-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/This-Island-Earth-Special-Effects4-359x270.png 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes.
