This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Just a boring stinker of a movie. You won't want to watch it again, ever. I love these long boring reviews trying to analyze an boring film. Have fun. LOL

I'm supposing that our Mars probe is considered an invasion. So the Martians are fighting back the best way they can in The Day Earth Invaded Mars.Kent Taylor and Marie Windsor who play a top NASA scientist and his wife are the targets of the Martians who have invaded earth avoiding detection and are replacing Taylor and Windsor with body doubles. All this to make sure probe reports zero life on Mars.These two movie veterans look pained throughout this most tepid science fiction film. The rest of the cast looks similarly bored.One thing I can't figure out, how did Taylor rate the mansion he and the family were living in.

I'll keep it brief: this is a surprisingly good 1950's style sci-fi space alien movie. It may have been made in 1963, but it hearkens back to good old 1950s alien sci-fi movies. Yes, it's low budget and the robotic device on Mars looks a bit silly by 21st century standards. But the main filming location, the mansion, is quite impressive. The acting by the two or three main characters is excellent, as is the dialog. The basic plot is refreshingly original, and almost -- dare I say it -- believable. Don't be fooled by the overall rating of 4.8. This is really worth watching.

A Cape Canaveral space probe to Mars causes an unexpected response for the lead scientist and his family.The cheezy title along with the hokey first shot of a robot on Mars had me prepared for the worst. However, the storyline quickly turns around and makes the most out of a limited cast, a single location, and a neat Bodysnatchers premise. Hiring movie vets like Taylor and the great Marie Windsor was a shrewd move, since their experienced acting provides needed credibility. Then too, that grand mansion and elaborate grounds makes the storyline's walking both suspenseful (what's around the corner) and slyly scenic. And thankfully, the production avoids padding budget runtime with a lot of static dialog. Instead, there're atmospheric tracking shots down woodsy corridors that provide a few sudden jolts. This sort of technique makes the comparison with the great Val Lewton features of the 40's an apt one, though this film doesn't reach that quality level. Nonetheless, the results, including the surprise ending, are certainly better than the ratings (TMC and IMDb) indicate. No, the movie's no sci-fi classic, but it is a shrewdly done, often subtle, little film that doesn't settle for rubber monsters or the obvious.
