I own a 32 inch WideScreen TV. But WideScreen DVD Movies have to be Adjusted to fit the Screen. I have turned Down many Movies now because they will harm the TV screen. Sometimes when you stretch you Distort the Image.
This is a Brand New Visio TV.
They Just Don't Make Them Like This Anymore October 5, 2008
Anthony T. Nista (Houston, TX USA)
Target Earth is a low budget (very low budget!) thriller made in 1954. This is a familiar Sci-Fi story of invaders from space, but with very little focus on the actual "invasion." Instead, this story is told from the vantage point of a handful of people that accidentally (at least some of them accidentally) stayed behind after their city was completely evacuated due to the impending alien attack. They have no idea what is going on outside and what is coming and that makes for some good suspense. People react as people will in that sutuation. The special effects are certainly comical and the story-line is absurd, but hey, this is entertainment, right? What I really liked was that the DVD arrived packaged like a current version DVD and the quality of the playback is top notch, like it was just filmed last week (in Black and White of course). This movie was always a favorite of mine when I was a kid and now I have a quality copy to watch when I want. Worth the price.

This film is well acted and directed. The only weak spot would be the robotic enemy invading the earth. And they're not really too bad. The story demands a lot emotionally of the acting and in general the actors do a very good job of it. Not the typical Sci-Fi type film. More reality based. See for yourself.

I Love 50's Sci-Fi but the best thing about this is the DVD box....The Robot on the box is factors of 100 cooler than the one in the movie. If you want to see a so-bad-it's-good movie kind of like PLAN 9 then go for this but don't buy this thinking it's some kind of Forbidden Planet or D.T.E.S.S.
I will say that the idea behind the movie is interesting but it is let down by terrible effects even for this era (taken with a grain of salt and a Martini)....this movie COULD have been really good and would make an AWESOME remake in the right hands. I found the special features about the Director very interesting.
What can I say? May 30, 2007

This movie scared the hell out of me when I was a little kid. Is there any other service for a B movie like this? The dark elements of the woman being suicidal, etc. made it even creepier, for a 50's horror movie. I can see it being re-made, sort of Independence Day mixed with Night of the Living Dead, only the zombies would be robots. I think I'm having an Ed Wood moment...
