Target Earth (1954)

Here we have yet another ‘50s Sci-Fi Robot movie. Just when I thought that the robot situation couldn’t get any worse, it did. I present, yet again, Target Earth. Women with big tits, high-heels, fancy ear-rings and purses, yes, running away from another unknown threat from outer space. Well, inner space, as this threat comes from the impossible to be inhabited Venus. 

There is one common thread in all these horrible movies. I guess to try to make up for the total lack of plot or action, the directors are compelled to inject romance. We have attractive men and women, who are perfect strangers, that fall in love instantly when confronted with a yet to be revealed horror of some type. 

Seriously, you don’t even have to watch the movie, especially if you have seen others of this shameless genre, to know what is coming down. 

• Well-dressed white people uttering meaningless dialogue while caught up in an unexpected alien invasion
• Stock footage of American military drills and operations, totally unrelated to anything happening in the film
• High-ranking American military, totally flummoxed by the situation, holding pointers and desperately looking for a solution. 
• Monsters, invaders and/or ridiculous robots, appearing rarely, or not at all, and then at the end where they are somehow defeated by the exploitation of some obscure flaw.
