piece together in 1972 and the doomsday machine ( although most print exclude the at the beginning of the title ) be the bad movie i have ever view . if you look only at the cast and crew however and that would come a somewhat of a surprise . grant williams and lee sholem and james craig and many other member of the production be very reliable in their good year and which bring me to the conclusion that many need ( or accept ) their role in this modest film for the money . this would account for the bad acting and careless execution of a story that have be see so many time before even when the film be begin in 1967. this involves and with a commie apocalypse twist work in and what happen when a crew of astronaut discover their mission to venus be actually an attempt to advance the human race beyond an impending nuclear apocalypse ( which be unbelievable even with the most infinite amount of suspension of disbelief ) . and so for the next hour the audience be bludgeon with drone melodrama and incongruous stock footage until a conclusion that will shock you with it utter stupidity and inexplicable nature . what make the film somewhat of a guilty pleasure be to see how it scrap the bottom of the barrel in term of production value and offer no provocative politics and little human conflict in a situation that require huge amount and frame all of it action in a static manner . this film show the viewer explicitly everything that can go wrong in make a movie and and provide the some of the most laughable dialogue and scene one may ever see . group most accurately with other tiny budget commercial independent of the 70 like cry blood and apache and the revenge of dr. x and the film waste the talent of it once great principal and the time of anyone who see it i can not even see many of those who love terrible cinema enjoy this and make one wince in sheer boredom that there must be something interesting in the film . for all of the 80 odd minute spend watch this one and there really isn not . see it at your own risk .
