Review

Fans of 1950s sci-fi monsters will relish 20 Million Miles to Earth, one of legendary special effects master Ray Harryhausen's earlier efforts. It's a typical genre effort in terms of the script, borrowing liberally from King Kong in its tale of a huge creature brought down for the safety of the human populace. Unlike Kong, however, Miles doesn't develop the characters or the story to create great empathy, preferring for n easier "by the numbers" approach. Like many other sci-fi films of the period, it's also saddled with a cast that doesn't make very much of an impression. William Hopper is the typical stolid hero and Joan Taylor his inevitable, forced-in love interest. Logic doesn't really enter into the actions of the characters, as they instead act in the manner that is most likely to guarantee that the monster escapes and/or wreaks havoc. But ultimately what really matters in Miles is Harryhausen, here doing spectacular work on a limited budget. There's more character development in the speechless creature than in all the human characters put together. From the moment he appears as a baby, rubbing his eyes because the light is too bright, this monster has personality and he captures our attention and our loyalty, even as he's causing destruction. The effects are not as skillful as today's CGI-derived effects, but they pack their own punch. ~ Craig Butler, All Movie Guide

4.0étoiles sur 5 An in-Sulfur-able creature, Déc 14 2007
Par bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: 20 Million Miles to Earth [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
A boy (Bart Bradley) on the beach finds a canister form a wayward spaceship that crashed in the sea. Hence the title "20 Million Miles to Earth" It yields a cute little creature that just loves to eat sulfur. He just wants to be friends and is intrigued with his environment. As with all innocent space creatures just as he is beginning to trust us, he is enslaved abused and thoroughly disenchanted. This is just an enjoyable creature movie with some people interaction and a question of what you do with a misplaced Ymir.

As you have guessed this movie is packed with Ray Harryhausen's stop motion. See more of Ray's work in "Clash of the Titans" notice how that there titan from the sea looks like the Ymir.

See William Hopper tackle something a bit bigger in "The Deadly Mantis" (1957)

4.0étoiles sur 5 20 Million Miles to Earth, Jui 9 2007
Par Marcia (Vancouver) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Do you like tack "B" Sci fi? If so ... this is for you. It's fun! A Venusian blob of glue becomes a type of Godzilla that grows and grows and grows. The critter is state of the art for the time as Ray Hausenhower (sp?) created him and he's the best before computers took over. Think of Clash of the Titans and Sinbad. The story is simple but well written. The Sicilian scenery is mostly beach but the people are well-casted and are probably Sicilian. The inevitable bumbling professor-type and the always presents screaming female are perfect in their roles. This movie is a great way to spend a rainy afternoon and don't forget the popcorn.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Don't Overlook This Little Miracle., Mai 29 2004
Par Eva Lanores (Denver, Colorado United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: 20 Million Miles to Earth (VHS Tape)
My review is aimed primarily at viewers who have not seen this film and who are serious Harryhausen fans ( I mean viewers who realize that Harryhausen is a genuine artist and not just a Hollywood entertainer) and who are willing to make the effort to deepen their understanding and appreciation of his work.
Let me begin by noting that 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH has, unfortunately, some of those characteristics that make so many 50's sci-fi/monster films very stimulating and very frustrating at once: it wastes so much precious time on all that typical tiresome tripe instead of feeding and building those essential sparks that alone make it worthwhile into the real and gratifying fire it could be. By the time it gets around to what matters the film is basically over.
This is one of those films.
BUT, BUT, dear reader, I am not contradicting myself in saying that this is one of Harryhausen's really important films because in spite of the mediocre work that other people bring to it, this is the film in which Harryhausen's genius fully breaks through into clear visibility. It is with the creation of the 'Ymir', the alien creature that is the CENTRAL CHARACTER of this film, that we first fully see Harryhausen's essential gift and vision. The Ymir is one of Harryhausen's finest and most sensitive creations. And ironically it is because of the mediocrity of the rest of this film that one can get a particularly focused look at the creature: It is like an eruption of deep, intense color and form against a bland gray background that is haunting and unforgettable. Don't buy this film because it is a great genre film, it isn't. Buy it because it is a fabulous introduction to the genius of Ray Harryhausen. Don't buy it for what it should have been: a classic of its type. Buy it for what it is: an unexpected little miracle in the midst of banality.
I can only laugh when people refer to Harryhausen's creations as 'dated'. The Ymir is alive, is en-souled, as no computer generated creature ever has been or probably ever will be.
Long live Ray Harryhausen!
