My first thought when this movie ended was "Well that was an unusual movie!"
The movie is both a send up of, and a tribute to the kind of 1950's Sci-Fi movies that I loved watching as a kid. It made me want to find a good movie of this type and watch it. I think the makers of the movie also had a soft spot for those great old films.
Some of the actors were better than others. Some may have been less than great on purpose. Some may not even have been actors.
First of all I should say that Judith O'Dea seemed to do the best acting job in the movie but hers was a different sort of role than the rest.
I think Garland Gunn/Christopher Fisher, who played the lead character, John Henry, did a good job satirizing the kind of over serious portrayal that was usually seen in these kind of movies. I hope his career does well.
I enjoyed Rocio Cortez/Thrasher's portrayal of the usual good girl heroine part usually seen in 50's Sci-Fi. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like she's done much other work.
Along with Ms. Cortez/Thrasher I enjoyed Paul Gibson as Detective Washburn. He kept reminding me of "millionaire Bruce Wayne" I'd like to see him get cast in some quality movies. I enjoyed the comic seriousness of his and Ms. Cortez/Thrasher scenes together.
Finally, Brad Eugene Greer captured the arrogant dismissiveness of the "superior" aliens often seen in the 1950's. His portrayal also added to my enjoyment of the movie.
These actors did a great job working with what seemed like a pretty low budget.
