Best movie ever!

Blistering performances.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Another glorious example of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion monstrosities, 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH features everyone's favorite monster from Venus, the Ymir- a reptilian creature, released from an egg, that grows from pint-size to economy-size at an astounding rate! The monster is caught, only to escape and go on an obligatory rampage of deadly destruction! The best thing about 20MMTE is that the Ymir gets a lot of screen time, making it one of the stars of the movie, as opposed to being just another rarely-shown threat. William Hopper, having just matched wits w/ THE DEADLY MANTIS, attempts to track the creature, as Col. Robert Calder. He is joined by Joan Taylor, shortly after her role in EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS, as Marisa Leonardo. Contains the classic Ymir vs. elephant scene, as well as the finale at the Coliseum in Rome! A 1950's sci-fi gem!...

Its only 2 survivors are its pilot and a fast-growing Venusian monster who doesn't hesitate to fight back when frightened.With an intelligent, fast-paced script - This Creature Feature's wild climax takes place at a showdown between monster and man in the Colosseum in Rome.20 Million Miles To Earth's running time is only 82 minutes.

20000000 miles to Earth is a decent film with good special effects provided by Ray Harryhausen.An expedition from Venus returns (yes seriously) and bring back a creature from the planet. It gets looses and grows drastically in size each day. Then its the same old stuff with monster movies from this time.The plot is actually interesting how they actually are coming back from a trip to Venus. Also the distance to get to Venus is pretty close to the title. I also thought it was cool how the Ymir monster changes size constantly each night.The effects and the Ymir monster are very well done like usual in a Harryhausen film. The monster itself in this film is pretty cool, its not a true evil monster it more so just defends itself viciously. Seems like it is out of place in its new setting and thats the root of its problems.Pretty good action in this film and the film does have a good flow. You don't really have to wait around much for the monster to appear.The acting is pretty boring in this film. Nothing special and none of the human characters stand out.Pretty entertaining movie, I recommend seeing it.

This was billed on the "Movies!" TV channel as a "popcorn" movie, and that it is. Nothing at all to take seriously, just a mostly fun B&W sci- fi movie typical of the 1950s.The first thing that struck me was the idea of a space mission to the planet Venus. The atmosphere at the surface of Venus exerts about the same pressure as being under water 3000 feet on Earth, a pressure that would crush most things. Plus the surface is generally in the 800 to 900 degree F range. A very inhospitable place, not likely ever to be visited.But this is a fantasy sci-fi story, I didn't get hung up on that very long and just went with it. To the credit of the writers they explained a few things to make it seem somewhat plausible.The movie starts with two men and a boy in a small fishing boat off Sicily. They look up to see a pointy spaceship in obvious distress that crash-lands into the sea, point down it remains afloat just long enough to let them rescue the commander and to see that there were few survivors.The young boy is a western and Texas fan, he wants a big hat and a horse, and finds things to sell to the local biologist to raise funds. Ashore he finds a USAF cylinder on land and, instead of revealing his discovery, takes the gelatinous contents to the biologist. Inside is the embryo of a creature from Venus which, after exposure to earth's atmosphere grows at a fantastically rapid rate. So much so that it cannot be contained and becomes a threat to all of Italy.As movies like this go the humans eventually figure out a way to prevail, in the meantime the entertainment is to see the monster wreak havoc and the Earthlings avoid death. The final scenes playing out in the ruins of an old Roman coliseum, military shooting big weapons at the now very large alien species. At the end one general says, "Why is it so difficult to move from the present to the future?" Definitely a "B" movie but entertaining as a representative of the 1950s sci-fi movies.
