After he and the gorgeous Dr. Adams (Faith Domergue) make their escape shortly before the lab explodes they are whisked away in a flying saucer to Metaluna where they are blamed for the destruction. Will interstellar negotiation save the day or will the scientists be forced to take part in a treacherous battle to the death?

Customer Reviews:
Beware of the giant ant creature
This movie is one hour and twenty-seven minutes long and was released on June 1, 1955. This is a very good movie. The story is great; the color and background effects are awesome. The giant bug creature looks menacing and the special effects are are out of this world. I would highly suggest this movie to anyone.

TIE
A pleasurable trip to another planet and back. I saw it as a kid and it was very impressive for the pre- Star Wars Sci-fi buff. As an adult it isn't quite as inspiring, but still fun.

Classic Sci-Fi, So-So Transfer
If you like classic Sci-Fi, you will like this movie. Mutants, flying saucers, advanced technology - what else can you ask for? The only downside to this DVD is that the transfer is not superior to the videotape version.

This Island Earth has stood the test of time.
This Island Earth is one of the few movies that have stood the test of time. It is still as interesting today as it was when I first say it almost 50 years ago.

A Good Sci-Fi Flick
Too bad they didnt elabrate upon this plot, some very good ideas that went real quick. Wish it was twice as long. Its worth a watch!
