pod people isn not about pod . it isn not about people . it isn not really about anything . it be quite possibly one of the poor film of not only our time and but all time . it actor make jerry lewis look like jimmy stewart . it cinematography make that crappy b movie you saw on tv last week look like alien . it direction style make battlefield earth seem simple . and it special effect make the old godzilla movie look like the matrix . it plot what little ( or nothing . ) of it there be seem to be about a group of singer strand in some american backwoods . there lot of mist in these wood . in one scene and a local tell a young man and wait till day to search for [ the alien ] and but this film be so poor that it confuse day for night many time . the mist be just a strong during the day a night . and in one scene and two men go driving and only to arrive at their destination two season ( yes and you read that correctly ) later . two season . wow and maybe he should invest in a faster car . this film be quite possibly the choppiest film i have ever see . you have to see it to believe it . but wait . don not see it . it not worth it . it will scar you for life . in one scene we see poacher in misty wood and then suddenly we jump to a band of singer blare into microphone . then we cut to something that look like smuckers rasberry jelly and then we cut to a kid look for centipede and then an rv driving along a road ( which they film for about five minute and just with aerial shot of this rv drive around ) . i can hear the director ( if there be one ) represent we pay for the thing and be gon na film it . after that we jump to the interior of a cave and where the camera literally go blind . i wish i have . then we come out at a campsite at night where and after the elapsed time of 57 minute and 31 second and we finally catch a glimpse of the alien of our film and which look more like the lovechild of alf and the elephant man . it kill people by make jellybeans appear on there head . no doubt smuckers jellybeans . talk about product placement . then we cut to some whiny orange haired kid find a pod in the smuckers cave and take it home and where he plan to hatch it himself . poor kid . he must not have have many friend . then the thing hatch and and eats and eats . somehow and it be amazingly smart and and learn english . the orange kid name it trumpy . i think he mean to say trunky and since it look like an elephant . or maybe he be just play an homage to donald trump . trumpy be mistake for the other alien and and the two alien run around do stuff . trumpy be small in one scene and huge in the next . amaze how much growing go on during a cut away . then trumpy escape into the wood where he live peacefully for the rest of his life . well and until a poacher come along and hit the jackpot and at least . unlike some film that be so bad theyre good and pod people isn not . it be truly mind numbingly bad . in one scene a man pick up a phone and which be dead for some reason or another . a he try to get the phone to work and i can imagine what he really think represent great and there no way to get out of this film now . 0/5 star john ulmer .
