Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Uriah43 This film begins with a Japanese passenger airplane on a routine flight over the Pacific Ocean when the pilot suddenly gets instructions to return to Japan because a suicide bomber might be on board. Upon attempting to change course, however, the airliner nearly collides with an alien spaceship which forces the airplane to crash land on what appears to be an isolated island. Unfortunately, the alien spaceship also lands on this same small island and inside it is a malevolent blob-like creature who has no high regard for the human species. Not long afterward it subsequently infests one of the passengers thereby turning him into a type of vampire which then begins to feast on those in the airliner. However, rather than dealing with the fact that someone is trying to kill them one-by-one, the passengers end up pursuing their own individual agendas and start fighting among themselves. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that was a grade-B sci-fi film from start-to-finish which included a rather obvious anti-war message thrown in for good measure. Although some of the special effects were rather good, the acting clearly needed improvement as a more subtle tone would have greatly enhanced an otherwise interesting plot. In short, although it certainly could have been much better, this still wasn't necessarily a bad film by any means and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Average.

classicsoncall Very cool title, but Lordy Mama - this is just too dumb for words. I know the Japanese monster flicks like the Godzilla clones were made for a pre-teen audience but this isn't even in that bailiwick; youngsters should be kept away from this one at all costs. It's been a long while since I've made a change to my 'Top Ten Worst Movies List', but I was able to make the call after watching this cheese-fest without any hesitation at all. It zoomed right up to the Number Three spot right behind "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet" and "The Incredible Petrified World". It could very well go higher.Adding to the film's off the wall story line is probably the dumbest dialog I've yet to encounter in a picture. This could possibly be due to the English translation offered in the version I watched; my summary line is from pilot Sugisaka (Teruo Yoshida) to Miss Asakura (Tomomi Sato) after he crash lands their hijacked, UFO-blinded airplane. Not to be outdone of course, by creepy politician Mano (Eizo Kitamura) when he chides the hysterical American Mrs. Neal (Kathy Horan) with "What is the foreign broad so worked up about?" Speaking of Mrs. Neal, just how bad a shot do you have to be to miss hitting a human/vampire target at point blank range with a rifle. She practically had it in the guy's chest and still missed at least four times! Fortunately that pail of gasoline just happened to be handy to bid hijacker Teraoka (Hideo Ko) a fond and fiery farewell.With an apparent nod to the 1951 movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", the Gokemidoro blob creature didn't have the patience of Klaatu and Gort from that picture in which the aliens warned us poor Earthlings to get our minds right about war and nuclear proliferation before they took charge. In this one, the Gokes are leaving out the middleman and destroying Earth just for the heck of it. Which is a pretty harsh way of dealing with things, thus prompting Sugisaka's understatement of the decade when he muttered - "Why did this have to happen"?Addendum**** 10-28-2016 - I actually did move this picture up a notch to the Number #2 position on my 'Worst' list, but it would have gone to Number #1 if I hadn't seen "The Aztec Mummy Against the Humanoid Robot" just a week later. Imagine those two on a twin bill.

GL84 Forced to crash-land on a deserted island, a flight-crew finds their chances for survival hindered by their constant squabbles for control as well as the ravenous blob-like alien species on the island with them and must find a way of stopping them and get off alive.This here was quite the enjoyable if overall flawed horror effort. This generates quite a lot of great points here with the strong opening that really sets this one off on a wild note by initiating plenty of seemingly disparate moments into a seeming whole. Instigating a plot-thread about a damaged plane, the strange gas- cloud following them and the potential UFO sighting all within the first part of the film sets this one off on a seemingly wild bent even before bringing along the hijacker that causes them to crash the plane, and when that gets them not only stranded on the island but also forced to confront the potential of something else stuck there with them it's a rather strong and impressive set of circumstances that bring this along. Followed by the crash and the first instances of the realization of the island being inhabited by something with the discovery of the alien ship there that infects the one passenger, it creates quite an appealing and generally wild atmosphere that carries on to the other scenes throughout here of the passengers being abducted and taken to the spaceship on the island where they also get infected with the virus-like being that turns them into the deadly creatures. That gets carried on nicely here with the aliens coming after them repeatedly in the final moments of this one and generating quite a few tense scenes including where he attacks them on the plane, a chase through the mountains on the side of the crash-site and the thrilling final battle around the plane where they finally manage to overcome the creature, these here work nicely and give this one a lot to really like overall. There's still a lot of flaws here, mostly taking place with the fact that there's just not a lot of action here with this one focusing more on the utterly ridiculous notion of focusing on the crew squabbling and being completely oblivious to anything about what's happening around them as they try to wrestle with each other over their petty issues. It's the kind of notion that's really hard to believe would realistically happen in a scenario as this with a vast majority of the film taken up with everyone arguing over each other and not really generating any kind of effort to bring themselves into a nominal plot line and really makes the film hard to root for what's going on by focusing on this irritating, unbelievable and unnatural scenario. Likewise, the purpose of their visitation and why they're here is never made clear as the point of infected hosts when their mission is to destroy them eventually makes little sense and isn't really explored until quite late in the film. The low-key special effects might turn some off, but on the whole there's not a whole lot else really wrong here.Rated PG: Violence and Language.

whpratt1 Enjoyed this film which concerned an airplane which is flying with a group of people and find themselves being controlled by the power of outer space beings that seem to control their plane and their lives. There are hints about the A Bomb dropped on Japan and also the fact that war creates suffering and horror, and also Viet Nam. This plane crashes into a desert and the outer space people invade those people on the plane and some of these people experience a creature that has a big glob that seems to enter his head and he turns into a vampire that seeks the blood of everybody living on earth. This film goes into great detail about war that has occurred on earth and it brings outer space people who want to establish a more stable way to bring peace and less strive on earth, however, blood seems to be their only essential item they need to obtain daily.
