Dallas H @FozzieMcFly 1 day ago I might need to watch this movie a second time before I fully commit to loving it or hating it. My first impression was that it was a bit cheesy, and I couldn't really buy into the fun of the movie-watching experience. There is a clear line between Kraft Mac and Cheese quality and artisan cheese, and I really enjoy what they're serving up on a platter. This science-fiction B-movie leaned more toward being a microwavable Mac and Cheese dinner than anything else. The hurdle I had trouble jumping over was believing that meteorites can telepathically take control of the human mind to communicate a message to other people.

The stilted dialogue was used as a vehicle to explain what was happening to the audience. The storyline was silly and forgettable. The action was half hearted. The movie is about as bad as a fan fiction film made by the socially awkward guy at school.

And much like that movie, this one has a great poster that advertises a movie I want to see more than the one that I actually watched. Based on Joseph Millard's The Gods Hate Kansas, this was directed by Freddie Francis for Amicus. He claimed that the studio spent all of the budget for this on the aforementioned The Terrornauts, leading to an inferior film. This one is about the Master of the Moon (Michael Gough!) spreading a "Crimson Plague" that wipes out a whole bunch of humanity so that the government will send the bodies of the victims to the moon to hide what really happened to them, at which point he will bring them back to life and use them to fix his spaceship. It's a really complicated plan that gets torn apart at the end by hero Dr. Curtis Temple, who basically tells the Master that if he'd just asked for help, humanity would have done it. This causes one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy to just start crying. Supposedly this was Anwar Sadat's favorite movie. I only have IMDB as a source for this, but I find that absolutely hilarious and have decided that it must be true.
