This melodrama is full of inaccuracies and bad acting. Special effects abound in this two part mini series that has California falling off the face of the earth unless six nuclear bombs detonated just 300 some feet beneath various locations in California can loosen the plate to avert said catastrophe. In the meantime, millions of Californians are trying to evacuate the Golden State in a frenetic effort to avoid be swallowed into the Pacific Ocean and riding a giant tsunami to oblivion. Doesn't California have enough problems as it is? Beau Bridges is the US President trying to make sense of it all. If you tuned in to watch this laugher, just remember it wasn't my "fault".
This movie is about killer worms and is chock full of unappealing characters. There is our pansy ass hero Mick, the over the top southern accented Geri, her odd looking amazon sister Alma, their border line psycho mom, the dumb cracker Roger and his father, and the oily,pink threatening southern sheriff. And, of course, the killer worms. Ooooh, scary!! Let's face it folks, if you can't outsmart or outrun a puny worm you're pretty pathetic! An asinine premise. A crappy film. It was filmed in Georgia. Our hero, Don Scardino, used to do Snicker commercials in the 70's. The only saving grace for this flick is that MST was able to hook it and cast it out into the sea of satire. Otherwise wiggle away from this one.
Five "astronauts" are launched into space heading for the moon. Meteor shower throws them off course. They land on Mars and encounter mutated survivors of atomic war. Everyone dies. Generally cited as the first post war sci-fi movie, Rocketship X-M is dull, talky, and stereotypic of many films of the genre to follow. Probably the only saving grace of this movie is the early on film appearances of a young Lloyd Bridges (Sea Hunt) and Hugh O'Brien (Wyatt Earp). Also of note is the insertion of a woman (Osa Massen) as Dr. Lisa Van Horn, one of the noted scientists on the mission. Despite her position as a leading chemist in cryogenic propellents , sexist comments still abound. All in all,one time viewing for this uninspired flick.
