Pint-size aliens from the planet Matal are bent on conquering the Earth in this colorful space opera from the heyday of Toho Studios. Second in a trilogy of space movies directed by the inimitable Inoshiro Honda (the other two being "The Mysterians" and "Gorath"), this is pure mindless fun.

The special effects may seem a bit dated now, but for the time they were first-rate, much better than your average sci-fi and far superior to any of the monster films that Toho cranked out from the early 60's onward. This was definitely not done on the cheap: The sets are well thought-out, the astronomical backgrounds detailed and quite convincing.

Eiji Tsuburaya's intricate model work is amazing as always. The voyage to the Moon, the fight on the lunar surface, and the final showdown (with souped-up X-15's against alien saucers and a huge mother ship) are elaborately staged and exciting.
