Five stars? Get serious!.......2006-11-27
OK here's the set up. An alien spaceship that looks like a bunch of demented beach balls all strapped together comes to invade Earth. A giant flying fire-breathing turtle (Gamera) pokes at it until it floats away and springs a leak. Space Ship Number 2 is called. Meanwhile, two bratty little smartass kids who are hated by everyone else in ther scout troop including their much too old to be doing this kind of thing sister are piloting a submarine around, smiling and waving at the flying turtle. Oh yeah! In an attempt to promote racial harmony, one of the brats is Caucasian and the other is Japanese. It's kind of hard to tell until the bright red-headed mom shows up to wail "Jim! Jim!" a few times. So, the aliens show about 20 minutes of Gamera fighting other men in dinosaur suits on their "Viewtron" while they try to find out how to kill Gamera. Seems kind of silly when we learn later on that when Gamera is flipped on his back he's just about helpless! So the aliens find out that Gamera is a softy for kids, and that's when the fun begins. The kids are snatched, Gamera is mind-controlled by the aliens, there's a giant squid with a pointy nose that turns out to be the head honcho who eventually gets around to battling with Gamera. Ho hum. For crying out loud, the world is saved by a couple of kids. This is a terrible movie. One star because the kids liked it, once we got past the boring "viewtron" fight scenes which were unbelievably tacky and silly.
Aliens, flash backs and Boy Scouts, oh my!.......2006-10-19
In Destroy All Planets the great Gamera is back. Boy, have I been watching a lot of Gamera, right? Well, anyway, aliens invade Earth and only Gamera, and some Boy Scouts, can stop them. Mind control, flash backs and the use of lots and lots of old footage. Great film to watch if you want to see all the monster fighting action of the past movies.
Dr. Dobie Smokes!.......2006-03-26
Forget the unimportant title. This movie exists by other titles that are far more descriptive, such as "Gamera vs. Viras." "Destroy All Planets" is a misnomer because there is only one planet shown in this movie, Earth, and the aliens want our planet for themselves. The aliens do want to remove those pesky humans infesting the planet, but they want to keep the planet whole so they can move in.
Gamera movies seem to have a large following among children in Japan, because children always play central roles in Gamera movies. This time we meet a crowd of boy scouts from Tokyo. Two of the boys are quite mischievous, and manage to play a prank on highly educated scientists by changing wiring connections on their mini-sub. The boys use this highly valuable lesson to later work their mischief on aliens. I believe these children later went on to government service in the diplomatic corps, personally starting two regional conflicts, fourteen incidents, thirty two letters of dismay, and an effigy burning.
After the two boys sabotage the sub, they convince the same bumbling scientists, including Dr. Dobie (played by Peter Williams), to allow them to drive the sub. Uh-huh. I wonder why we have so little trust in some researchers. These people are unable to prevent a couple of kids from sabotaging their multi-million dollar submersible. Once the submersible is sabotaged, they are unable to figure out how the children did it. Then, to add icing to the cake, these same people allow the children to pilot the sub. I have to wonder whether the name Dr. Dobie is a birth name, or perhaps was a name given to him after something he may have smoked in college. I am just speculating, but after his actions with the two boys, you have to wonder where this guy's head was at.
While the boys are taking a pleasure cruise in an expensive piece of research equipment, they encounter the giant turtle Gamera, also known as Gammera, who manages to make growly noises in outer space, walk upright, and shoot flames out of his leg holes. Gamera is one talented turtle.
Somewhere early in this movie we are introduced to spaceship #1, which Gamera toasts with a move worthy of "professional" wrestling. Soon we are introduced to spaceship #2, which has a crew of not-so-bright people and a guy in an octopus costume. After the boys return from their three hour tour, the weather started getting rough, and their tiny sub was tossed, and if it wasn't for the spirit of the fearless...wait, wrong story. Sorry. Getting back on track, the boys cheer on Gamera, only to fall into the clutches of the evil aliens on spaceship #2. The aliens prove about as bright as Dr. Dobie, which makes you wonder whether they were inhaling during the flight.
Early guys-in-monster-suits-destroying-Japan-models movies were often quite sincere. The original "Godzilla" and "Gamera the Invincible" are two movies that tried hard to have a good story and a good scare factor. By the time this movie came out, the studio had thrown sincerity out in favor of a children's fantasy. With the children running the movie, the movie is often either intentionally or unintentionally funny. In either case, this movie becomes a mediocre entry in the people in costumes monster movie genre.
The sound and picture quality are reasonably for this 1971 film, though the film could be re-mastered with modern technology. The studio kept the budget low by using scenes from earlier Gamera movies, even though some of the reused scenes were in black and white. The version I have is pan and scan rather than wide screen, which could be another addition if the original films are located.
Even though this low-budget flick is flawed, I recommend it to fans of Gamera movies, and fans of Japanese monster movies. The plot is a re-hash of earlier and later plots, but the formula has worked for dozens of films. Why mess with success? Good luck!
It's So So.......2005-12-08
I am conflicted; the movie was okay when compared to the later trilogy done in the 1990's that rocked! I heard that the early movies, or Showa movies weren't as good as the later ones, and that's true. The movie is good, but the movie has two flashbacks that show Gamera's previous fights from other movies, and it gets boring to see the same thing you have seen before on a movie you haven't. This also ruins the fight outcomes from the other movies if you watch this and haven't seen the other because they show how Gamera beat all of the other monsters. Good plot twist and a surprise at the end of the movie make this not a complete downer. I have to admit, the ending was good when you find out about the aliens and who and what they are. It was also a big surprise to find out who the leader of the aliens really was. They did a good job on that. So overall the movie is good, but it is boring to watch old fights again.
The Worse of the Worst.......2004-12-17
Okay, this is a distgusting and sickening film! Aliens invade earth and somehow offspring a octopus creature that was created from the ocean. Supposeldy the aliens reproduced and had the creature. I don't want to know how. Then the monster destroys the rest of Japan, and China. He is almost invinciable. Then Gamera decides to kill the aliens in space. gamera kills them which triggers the monster on earth to die. Gamera goes to earth and he begins to save three kids named Tomo, Sika, and Inoshiro. Gamera almost kills the kids by steping on their house and then he burns woods to ge to another city. Gamera also finds the octopus' offspring and it is exactly the same. Gamera eats it and i beleive by my eyes i saw him pee on its carcas. What the??!!!Gamera even tears his suite and i see the actor. Its horrible! Then about hundreds of alien ships come and Gamera uses one fireball and kills them all. He then dances! What the! He dances and he sings some stupid song and the government sign a treaty with Gamera! What the hell? That is stupid! Then the end! After that i just did an outline in lame terms: ALiens make their offsrping. Japan burns. Gamera kills the monster in Yokohama. Gamera saves the kids almost merely killing them. Gamera pees on the monster's carcas. Gamera kills the offsrping of the octopus. Gamera burns the alien ships. Gamera sings and dances. Gamera signs a treaty and uses a pen! Gamera then flys to the sun! The End Good i hope he burned!

An unexpected pleasure.......2006-09-24
When I read the description, and the film's title, I was expecting some
pretty cheesy 80's TV treacle. However, as a sucker for movies that
involve NASA in some regard, particularly those that deal with the
Apollo Program, I had to give it a try.
I was very surprised, then, to find myself being drawn into it and
caring about the characters. It was much better than I had expected,
and the performances were quite solid. Sheen and Foxworth were very
good, Slater was reasonably believable, and Abraham stole his scenes.
The female characters were sympathetic and believable. I was also
surprised how front and center Apollo was - it didn't just serve as a
disposable backdrop for the drama. All in all Beyond the Stars was well
worth the viewing, but I agree that the sci-fi ending did cheapen the
drama slightly. And the title - whew - they could have done better than
that!
I have to chuckle, however, at a description I read of Slater's
character being a "troubled" teenager. Ha! Most people should be so
lucky to have a kid that respects his parents, wants to follow in his
dad's footsteps and study science and math, and plans to go to MIT.
Yeah - that kid's a real disaster.
Anyway, a few of the technical space details were off (particularly
during the Huntsville trip), and the music was pretty dated, but those
are mostly nits. Overall this was a reasonably intelligent and mature
drama with a strong Apollo background - and an unexpected pleasure.
not the Martin Sheen/Christian Slater movie.......2005-03-03
Looking at a larger view of the cover as shown in the listing, I am certain that this is not the movie I was looking for or described in the other review of the vhs. Although it was not easy to read, the main title was not repeated in the 4 smaller titles. Although all one really has to do is look at the cover to know this isn't the Martin Sheen/Christian Slater movie, I mean really, a sexy siren with a blaster on the cover of a story about friendship and wonder. Definitely not a match.
A Journey For Anyone Who Dares To Dream.......2000-04-08
Everyone who has walked the face of this earth has at one time in his or her life, dreamed of becoming an extraordinary person. It is in our nature to dream of growing into something unique and beautiful. The journey of life is and will never be an easy voyage. Some will fall...and some will succeed; It's up to the individual to turn that dream into a reality. In this movie BEYOND THE STARS, Eric (Christian Slater) has his dream in sight and is willing to do anything to one day accomplish it. Eric wants to walk among the stars and touch the face of the moon. When he is sent to his father's house in Ceder Bay Oregon for shooting a model rocket through a school window; He realizes that an ex-astronaut (Martin Sheen) is living in the same town as his father. To Eric this man is a legend, someone who has been where he one day wants to go. Eric meets a beautiful girl who just so happens to know this living hero. But Paul Andrews (The Astronaut), is nothing but; He is now a drunk, who wants to be left alone and never wants to talk about his time away from our home. Eric is severly hurt but eventually decides to do what ever it takes to be Paul's friend. Eric gets his break when Mr. Andrews offers him to help in constructing a grand greenhouse. Knowing that he won't get any money, Eric still agrees to help him. And through this decision they grow as true friends and there friendship eventually brings Eric and his father closer than they've ever been before. What Eric doesn't know is that some years earlier on Paul's last mission to the moon; He stumbled upon something magical buried within a crater. And as he was attempting to uncover the ancient relic a heavy cloud of radiation caught up with him, taking a piece of his life as it passed by. Paul knew that he was poisoned and that it was too late to escape the wrath of the deadly cloud; So he ordered his men to safely lock the hatch to the pod. They had to set helplessly, knowing that through the passage of many years the radiation would eventually take the rest of him. Paul decided in the dark of the lunar surface that the relic would be his and that no one would ever find out - that is, until Eric comes along. This story is so inspiring. It asks so many important questions and shows us that friendship is an important part of life; Without it this world would be an empty place. This movie in a way models our own life - We all dream - We all want our privacy - And we all question our own existence. BEYOND THE STARS is a film that will forever live within the hearts of every dreamer. It has shown me to never let go of a dream - And to never deny friendship - Both are extremely powerful and vital to every human being. So friend, if you are down and need to be lifted up beyond the stars - Find this movie, or buy it whenever it is re-released.

Customer Reviews:
Good movies but READ this before buying!!!.......2007-06-18
Ok, anyone new to these movies needs to
be told that some prints of the old Gamera
movies are more or less public domain in the
united states. THAT MEANS that anybody can copy
and sell them!
These double features that have been popping
up are appearing everywhere in the Philadelphia
and New Jersey areas at local Wall Marts, supermarkets
and dollar stores - they only cost ONE DOLLAR!
They are good movies but are just so-so in picture quality.
So, unless you reside on the far side of the moon,
look around before you spend a lot of money on these.

Gamera Strikes Again.......2006-06-24
If memory serves, 4 or 5 of these are Gamera movies from the 70's. (He was the flying turtle with those two big teeth.) Yongary was Korea's answer to Godzilla, and Warning from Space was a Toho Studio space opera. Monster from a Prehistoric Planet, I believe, was the other name for Gappa, the triphibian monster, this was a family monster movire with a mamma, daddy and baby. If you liked the giant rubber-suited monsters of the 70's this looks like a good collection. While I have seen all these movies, I have not previewed this set so I have no idea what the quality might be like. Since these, Gamera and Godzilla (no big-G movies in this collection) have grown up and there are much better outings filmed in the late 90's and 00's.
a great collection of old japanese and other big monster movies.......2006-05-09
growing up i would have loved to of had this set of movies. they are silly but fun movies and as cheese as i remember them. these bring back the days of rushing home after school and watching the afternoon movie.
the best thing about this collection is the transfers,they look very good and the company that puts out these sets put extras with them and that makes them even better. give these a try,the price is right.
