Attack from Space

The film constructs a straightforward battle between clear good and evil, relying on charmingly rudimentary effects and a linear narrative. It explores a universe where heroism is unambiguous and threats are decidedly extraterrestrial.

What lingers after viewing is a fond appreciation for the earnest, uncynical spirit of mid-century sci-fi adventure. Those who tire of gritty reboots may find joy in its simple galactic stakes. — MovieFinder Editorial
