A Japanese science fiction directed by Ishiro Honda.
Earth is threatened by aliens from the moon who use anti-gravity technology and mind control. 2 ships are sent and a battle is waged, but the aliens attack Earth afterward.
I was expecting quaint ideas of space travel, cheesy vehicles and dopey looking aliens. Most of what I got was cheesy vehicles. The moon cars looked like the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile crossed with a city bus to bend in the middle (image). As always, Ishiro Honda and Toho production had tons of miniature vehicles and buildings. The plot seemed to take too long to get started, spent an alright amount of time on the moon and wrapped up the ending too quickly. There was really only 1 character to pick out from everyone. He was the astronaut with alien mind control in him. I could go into a whole thing about one world government in the name of security, but you can read that somewhere else. I just have to say that this film had it. I rate this tolerable and would only recommend it for real Ishiro Honda and Toho Production fans.
