20 Million Miles To Earth (50th Anniversary Edition) [Blu-ray] description
Special-effects legend Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion talents and "Dynamation" (rear-projection) process are the highlights of the '50s-era creature feature 20 Million Miles to Earth. An American spaceship returns to Earth after a mission to Venus and crashes into the sea near Sicily. A sole survivor (William Hopper) is rescued, along with a specimen that quickly grows into a reptilian biped called the Ymir. The being eventually grows to 20 feet high and escapes its confines, whereupon it rampages through Rome before a showdown with the military. Despite lacking much of a personality, the Ymir is a marvelous showcase for Harryhausen's skills. Unfortunately, the rest of the film does not match his level of excellence; direction by Nathan Juran is perfunctory (his later collaborations with Harryhausen, including The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, are more lively), and performances and scripting are flat. Still, Harryhausen fans should enjoy this opportunity to see this phase of his career before he created his most enduring works. --Paul Gaita

Entertaining B-movie fun

I first read about this film over at DVDbeaver and was looking forward to seeing how it had been colourised. I was not disapointed, the film itself is the typical low budget hokum that you would expect from this period. Though the special effects from Ray Harryhousen are very good for their time. The colourisation is variable in it's success rate. At it's best it looks like a 50's colour film but, as is often the case with this process, the greens for trees and grass is less than convincing. Skin tones, often poor in earlier re-colourings are generally pretty good. I certainly did not find the colour distracting. A black and version is also included and it's possible to switch between the 2 versions using the "angle" button on the remote.
