Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers Movie Review

“If it lands in our nation's capital uninvited, we don't meet it with tea and cookies.” Hugh Marlowe, the jerk who turned in Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still, is a scientist who establishes contact with the survivors of a dying race of aliens looking to colonize our planet. The real star of this ‘50s classic is, of course, special effects master Ray Harry-hausen, whose peerless flying saucers crash into Washington, D.C.’s most treasured landmarks. Rent this after seeing the big-budget pyrotechnics of Independence Day. AKA: Invasion of the Flying Saucers.
