Not bad, not great, but was entertaining enough. The storyline could have been better and the acting was acceptable. The aliens were OK, their spaceship was fair, and their weapons ,as well as, the space monster were good and appropriate for the time it was produced (1965). Frankenstein (Frank) wasn't bad although there was no relation to the original Frankenstein monster. All in all, just an OK flick.

In my review of "Mars Needs Women", I inferred to this film as being better. On most counts, I was wrong! The acting was dismal, the plot was poor, the special effects & make up were horrid & don't even get me started on the sound track! The plot is similar, war has ravaged Mars & everybody is either dead or dying except the occupants of a space ship headed toward Earth. Here, the Princess of Mars, Marcuzan & her all male crew (no mention as to why they didn't bring any women?) are going to kidnap likely specimens of human females to repopulate Mars. As they arrive, they are confronted by a rocket manned by Colonel Frank Saunders on his way to Mars. Saunders is actually a cyborg made up of body parts & transistors, thus he is.... Frankenstein! they shoot him down & wound him once they all land. half of Saunders' face is horribly disfigured in one of the worst make up jobs I have ever seen! you can actually see a transistor radio dial & the works of a watch mixed in to the thick rubberized appliance. Anyway, he goes on a rampage. Meanwhile, the Martians kidnap a voluptuous bikini girl who is rather meticulously inspected by Marcuzan who finds her acceptable. the Martians later raid a pool party, making off with a dozen girls, who offer no resistance. Nor do the other 40 or so party goers even though they outnumber the Martians 8-1! the girls are marched back to the ship, again offering zero resistance. Most act as if they are on a nature walk. they are inspected & placed on a conveyor & covered with a cowl. they unsatisfactory ones are apparently killed though we don't know how? Marcuzan shakes her head, her henchman Dr Nadir slashes a finger across his throat & you hear an off screen scream. that is it! In case you were wondering, the space monster is a guy in a gorilla suit with an alien rubber mask head & spike fingered gloves. It is seen a couple of times early, but it doesn't fight Frankenstein until the very end. the battle is pathetic at best! the military presence is done using old footage from films & documentaries. the make up is atrocious! the Martians are bald with pointed ears. the bald heads are done with dime store bald headpieces poorly blended in giving them a stucco appearance. the ears look like built up clay. for the most part, the Martians wear old astronaut uniforms & helmets. their weapons are doctored up hand held spot lights. Princess Marcuzan's crown is made out of pipe cleaners & beads. Their ship is a joke! I think Ed Wood had a bigger budget than these guys! Understandably, there is no star power here! Some fans will recognize a very young James Karen, a veteran character & TV actor best known for, IMO, being one of the unfortunate 1st exposed to the chemicals in "The Return Of The Living Dead" movies. In closing, let me sum this film up by using a line from the film to describe people who try to watch this film; "The lucky ones are dead!"Vollständige Rezension lesen
