one word to describe this movie represent mediocre . sort of mad max ( see the prisoner and the atlantean first city ) meet sinbad ( sfx would still be poor if date 20 year earlier ) meet cable tv tripe and like those lose or treasure island short telepictures from the 1960 70 for a young audience . acting be mediocre to poor . when gummy face mcclure play the hot dud to impress the mad max belle and well . how corny can anything get . a superior race of martian defends itself use xix century rifle and cannon . do me a favor . lock the screenplay writer in a padded cell . they also try to add the victorian element and so well do and fit in the early dracula movie and yet with poor result here . all in all and rather than a real movie ( yes and low budget and all ) and it look like an extended episode from some cable tv adventure series . they even try to add plot twist and but it get even more laughable . pathetic main actor while even ridiculous support cast . perhaps lea brodie be the less pathetic one . yes and you get monster and but the japanese one decade older be much good . this tripe make harryhausen sfx a craftsman in his own right albeit very dated look well than matrix and terminator ii and jurassic park stitch together . gummy face mcclure make arnold look like laurence olivier and and gilmore make keanu reef good than al pacino and go figure .
