Watch Doomsday Machine For Free

Pretty Good

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie is called "Doomsday Machine" but the title object barely appears in the movie at all. In fact, almost the entire movie takes place in space, where none of the destruction caused by this machine is made. It features a bunch of guys who go into space. They can't stop complaining about there are women on the ship. Yeah, it's pretty easy to call this movie sexist. Most of this film makes no sense at all. One guy tries to rape a woman and then another guy stops him. The first guy tells him to lay HIS hands off her and beats him up? What am I missing here? Even for 82 minutes, this film is needlessly padded.Even the very end of the movie contains about a minute of nothing happening and lots of footage of two people doing nothing. The movie ends with the last two survivors being told by aliens they won't be allowed on their planet, but can apparently...go to another side of the Universe. Whuh? Speaking of the title plot, why would the Chinese blow up the entire Earth with them on it? There's no motivation for anything that goes on in this movie and it's completely boring. Even the sets look stupid. I have no clue why anything's happening and I hate it. Why are always the worst movies the ones that are so easy to see online? *

The Chinese have created the titular Doomsday Machine Why? I don't know. In response, the Americans change a planned mission to space by switching three male astronauts for three female astronauts. Why? To assure the continuation of the human race just in case the Chinese destroy the world. As expected, shortly after lift-off, the Earth is destroyed. Can these seven astronauts make it to Venus to start a new human civilization?Even my poorly written plot summary makes Doomsday Machine sound far better than it really is. This turkey of a movie has got any number of problems that others have covered in great detail. I don't think I need to write much about the fact that half the movie was filmed in 1967 and the rest in 1972, other than to say that the differences are jarring. Instead, I want to focus on something else that bothered me - the mixed male/female group of scientists are about as unprofessional as you could imagine. As soon as they leave the Earth's atmosphere and climb out of their La-Z-Boys, their hormones immediately take over. I felt like I was watching an episode of Love Boat. The crew can't have been in space for more than 10 seconds when Grant Williams inexplicably takes off his shirt and comments on Ruta Lee's appearance - "You know, without your glasses, you're a very pretty doctor." I HATE lines like that in a movie! Are you so stupid you can't see the woman for the glasses? Like the rest of the movie, it's utterly ridiculous.And then there's the ending. I guess the 1972 crew had absolutely no money. How else do you explain two people in a poorly lit spacecraft doing absolutely nothing? I'm surprised they didn't cut corners more and use a matte painting of the astronauts. What a mess!One of the only things Doomsday Machine has going for it are some really funky, cool 60s moments. The multi-colors aboard the spaceship are a nice touch. The second thing is enough scientific mumbo-jumbo to fill a dozen movies. I don't think any character ever utters anything scientific that makes sense. It's a hoot! Third, I must admit I did enjoy a couple of the cast members regardless of what they were give to work with. Mala Powers, Henry Wilcoxon, and, incredible as it may sound, Ruta Lee give decent performances. Finally, the cat over the wall moment was a stroke of genius. I actually laughed out loud.

Wow! I had low expectations after watching Santa Claus vs The Martians on the humor of Cinematic Titanic, but I am a believer now, these guys are really funny! I like the gags off the film too, something I miss on Rifftrax. Frank absolutely cracked me up more then once and the film in general was very interesting and then totally disintegrated which was really fascinating! I read the history on IMDb, love watching unfinished films that get spliced together with other unfinished films! 10 of 10 awesome! Spoiler: I could watch this film without the riffing it was very interesting to me. I mean it is the perfect combination of cheesy and erotic and science fiction I was really into it, that is up until the film ran out of money and it's ending was vaporized in a spliced footage. Reminded me of They Saved Hitlers Brain, another must see. It does not deserve a 1 star as it's very interesting and the spliced footage makes it a curiosity to watch more. I refuse to rate it on a 1 to 10 scale because it doesn't deserve either grade but as a Cinematic Titanic episode I'm staying with a score of 10, very very funny!There are 10 Cinematic Titanic films on Hulu to watch for free (with around 6 or so commercial breaks) I think Hulu Plus is commercial free but I'm not sure.

I't's unfortunate that the destruction of earth is the only thing that can get rid of Casey Kasem. Aside from that, why did all the actors in the first few minutes of the film look like low budget 70's porn stars? If only they had killed off the two garbage characters early in the story, or just not had them in the first place, I can see a potentially good movie there. Instead they spent most of the movie on emotional dross, produced largely by the whiny nut case and her would- be rapist. The instant those two died the movie improved immensely; the characters started acting normal, an engrossing plot began to form, and just as it was about to get really interesting one of the ships disappeared and the movie ended!! What kind of filmmaker would do such a thing? It's so cruel; to torture the audience so long, give them the hope of being entertained, and then snatch it viciously from them! How depraved.
