The Tru-Stereo Process (3-D) utilized here is easy on the eyes, coming across clearly at all times. To the picture's credit no 3-D gimmicks were employed.
'For the budget and for the time' said Tucker, 'I felt I had achieved greatness'.
Top CriticAll hail the Robot Monster.
3-D raises the rating a mini-bar...but what a George Nader classic this is!
One of the most hackneyed, and lowest-budgeted, science-fiction films ever made.
A really terrible monster movie, but a really entertaining viewing experience.
OK, it''s cheesy, it's stupid, it's cheap, it''s nearly inept, but, by golly, it's a hoot to watch.
A triumph of ineptitude, a bona fide turkey that deserves to be served up on the same table as anything by Ed Wood.
A man in a gorilla suit with a diving helmet and a bubble machine. Trash nirvana.
Always gets unintended laughs from audiences
