20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)
Dir: Nathan Juran
***
Ray Harryhausen's tragic monster figure, Ymir, is commendable. The level of detail and exceptional use of low budget special effects is really what led me to give this a ***. A classic message throughout is the running theme of man's intent to destroy what he does not understand. Even with sub par acting, it's all about the monster and this film really takes off with classic scenes of monster mayhem (Ymir battles an elephant) and a very sad death indeed for the big fella...
