20 Million Miles To Earth (50th Anniversary Edition) 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 |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | More, please. |
| Getting this is a no-brainer if you are a fan of Ray, or the "golden age of sci-fi".
I'm not a fan of colorization, but this is actually kind of interesting. It looks like those old hand colored lobby cards (which I collect). And the B&W is there if you prefer. Will more of Ray's work get the Blu treatment? Pretty please?!! |
