646f9e108c When giant monsters crawl out of the Atlantic Ocean and attack the Eastern Seaboard the US Government is forced to trust a trio of mischievous soldiers, specialized in piloting gigantic robots, to defend America.
As awful as Plan 9 from Outer Space is, this awful film can't dethrone it. The actors here aren't animated enough to be laughable, and the endless technical errors don't stand up and wave or wobble at you. You wouldn't notice unless you actually think about it.<br/><br/>I just loved the fighters that reached the fight with the first monster so quickly that they must have broken Mach 10. And gee, flown by pilots who don't use any normal terminology, don't know what weapons are on the plane (a .50 cal on a fighter?!?), and the weapons they do find don't work that way.<br/><br/>Oh, and as a former aircraft carrier crewman, I was especially interest in the various battle groups. Things sure have changed. Back in 1980. a carrier in a big hurry could get a bit over 30 knots. All the ships anybody sent for in the first crisis, however, were on station in seconds. Has the Navy adopted magic ships? <br/><br/>I won't go on because I can't. I got a headache from pounding my head on the desk.
The plot is terrible.<br/><br/>The acting is terrible.<br/><br/>The scene cuts are terrible.<br/><br/>The special FX are mediocre, at best.<br/><br/>It's actually really funny to watch this movie in it's glorious entirety... I'd love to be on the MST3K bench reviewing this one.
