One of those '60s tiny budget, really bad Sci Fi movies, where the 'actors' perform unlikely scenes as if they are under sedatives or worse, while an ethereal, disturbing score floods everything, the atmosphere is unwillingly eerie; like other Italian flicks of the very same trend, it has a crazy enough, if silly, storyline, a certain freedom and inventiveness, perhaps a good sense of the show—it has scenes on Mars, a vile, perhaps even depraved seductress, an unapproachable but ultimately kind genius, etc.. Now compare that to a classic Bert Gordon—not to mention the even sillier Buchanan—and you'll see for yourself what I mean—the Italian Sci Fi looks a bit more lively, less morose; though, of course, still goofy rubbish.
BATTLE OF THE WORLDS is goofy Sci—Fi, derisory and unremarkable, aimed at kids, where silliness competes with clumsiness and witlessness—a knockout cocktail; a team of scientists faces the extragalactic threat.
An object from another galaxy approaches the Earth; its trajectory indicates a rational activity. It is guided by a rational force, and the UFOs don't take time to appear as from behind this object. And in these circumstances, the fate of the humanity lies in the hands of a group of scientists headed by the grumpy oldster I have already mentioned. After a while, the flick becomes all about this zany old—timer and his antics.
I admit not having recognized the presumptive Gemma in this flick; have you? Some '60s goofy Sci—Fi movies, derisory and lame, had nonetheless a bit of charm, a kind of fun, an appeal; you can call them flicks, perhaps they are no more than footage, goofy Sci—Fi footage. Each connoisseur has his own selection in this genre, as each knows his dish. Anyway, for fans of a certain kind of goofy Sci Fi, BATTLE OF THE WORLDS, mediocre rubbish from the '60s, provides some fun.
