There's no denying that the special effects in Teenagers from Outer Space are terrible, even by B-movie standards. But nevertheless, it does feature some interesting elements, namely a human-alien romance that seems pretty plausible, and Thor, the ambitious alien assassin (how's that for alliteration?) out for blood. Overall, the film reminds me of many works by Roger Corman, in that it explores themes - rebellion vs. authority, sacrifice, etc. - that actually matter, but is so cheaply made that its poor look detracts from the ideas it's trying to express. Still, a solid, entertaining B-movie, and considerably more entertaining than some films made with vastly larger budgets (can you say "Supergirl"?)
