What a waste of my time!!!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

. . . about whether the current Sci-Fi release ANNIHILATION is a direct remake ripping off QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE, or make an informed judgment about which of these films is more Realistic, UNLESS they've seen them ON THE SAME DAY. Therefore, as perhaps the ONLY Earthling (or Venutian, for that matter) in a position to compare these films while both are equally fresh in mind, I can tell you that A)Yes, ANNIHILATION totally rips off QUEEN, and B)QUEEN is the better-crafted, more believable, more satisfying, and more entertaining offering in this B-Movie pairing. Both of these stories feature implausible rainbow-colored forests, dire attacks from mutant creatures, female power struggles, cave show-downs, an alien queen burning to a crisp in the climactic scene, and a kazoo band soundtrack. However, QUEEN fortunately lacks the sour vibe given off by ANNIHILATION's "Kane" marriage, presenting instead heart-warming inter-planetary romance. Each action of all the characters in QUEEN comes off as soundly motivated, while ANNIHILATION plods along from one head-scratcher to another. Apparently, the guy who did the "special effect" for ANNIHILATION's opening scene of the comet hitting a lighthouse was reincarnated from the dude who blows up "Alpha Station" during the early going of QUEEN. If only ANNIHILATION had done less tweaking of QUEEN's plot, it could have been a much better flick!

Remember this classic Sci-fi comedy way back in the early 60's watching this on THE MILLION DOLLAR MOVIE in New York. This epic movie starts off as we see the gorgeous Joi Lansing watching her boyfriend/astronaut take off with his fearless crew to of all places Venus.That's all Joi collect your check. She's out of the rest of the movie. Unexplained attacks against Earth's space stations were the reason for their Journey to our neighboring planet second from the sun. The crew is headed by the colorless and poorly acted Captain Patterson played by Eric Fleming of Rawhide fame. The crew lands on a tropical jungle like planet (contrary to the real Venus which is 800 degrees Fahrenheit at it's surface temperature),anyway the crew comes across a group of Mini skirt clad Females with ray guns in hand. Off to meet the Queen. and what a Queen she is complete with a mask and complaints against Man.Our Anarchist played by Laurie Mitchell, asked the crew members questions about their trip to the domineeringly female planet. Funny quips are supplies by co- traveler Lt. Cruze,AKA Wacky Racers narrator Dave Willock. Paul Birch plays a mild mannered overweight scientist who through out the picture makes outrageous claims about Venus which would drive any science teacher to rip their hair out of their skull. The leading Lady in all of this is is the lavishly made up ZSA ZSA GABOR with her unmistakable Hungarian accent. Funny moment was when Captain Patterson tries to flirt with the evil Queen but his plan backfires when the Mask is removed and The Queens face resembles a Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Zsa Zsa takes a liking to the helpless Earthlings and plans an escape for her male counterparts. Zsa Zsa abducts the irritated Queens by tying her up and Taking her Mask. Plans are Quickly dashed as her Hungarian Accent comes through. Another Question comes to mind? How does that mask stay on the Queen's Face and Not Zsa Zsa's. Maybe lots of staples and Rubber bands. Anyway the rest of this movie is not worth to mention but for the most part I was entertained. Abbott and Costello or the Three Stooges made similar movies but this one was supposed to be serious.NOT!!

Hold your horses there people. The main thing is that "Queen of Outer Space" is a Saturday Matinée Feature that appealed mostly to the younger generation. I was 11 years old when it came out and I found it entertaining then and now. True, it may be a poor parody and seems to have a poorly written plot but who really cares. The main thing is that it is fun to watch whether it makes you laugh-out-loud or not. People tend to over analyze things these days. Hey, "STAR WARS" got bad reviews but became a smash hit. It was a fun movie to watch. So, back off a little and give the girl a break. Fun has a place in enjoying movies as is any drama, action adventure or comedy. Recently movie makers are putting the FUN back into movies. Now, that's entertainment.

Unintentional Humor and Unwrapped Females Highlight this Excruciating Extravaganza of Extraterrestrial Excrement. Venus is inhabited by incredibly Busty Babes in Miniskirts whose Culture has been Influenced by Max Factor and Mattel. Swell, but They are as Dumb as Dirt but Smarter than the Astronauts who arrive there. "They just get beautiful-er and beautiful-er ".It's all done in Gorgeously Saturated Color and CinemaScope that makes the Mind fall into somewhat of a Hypnotic Hyper-Dimension as it all Washes over Us in an unmitigated Attempt to Lull the Populace into some kind of 50's Fraternal-ism. We are to Accept this as Entertainment and Fun as We all just get along and Accept the most Plastic, Artificial View of Our Surroundings. So Don't Think too much and for Heaven's Sake don't Question the Lack of Creativity or Inspiration that's on Display...just Go Home and Enjoy all of those Kitsch Consumer Products, and that Eight-Cylinder, Tail-Finned, Abominable Gas Guzzler.This is Not Pop-Culture Parody...this was the Pop-Culture.
