Attack from Space

About This Movie

Attack from Space is an intriguing blend of action and science fiction that emerged from the mind of Teruo Ishii. The film showcases Starman, a hero with a somewhat cheesy yet endearing vibe, sent on a mission from the Emerald Planet. He’s up against the Sapphireans, or Spherions, who have this bizarre plan involving kidnapping a scientist to commandeer a spaceship. You’ll notice the pacing is pretty brisk, throwing you right into the action. The practical effects, while dated, have a certain charm, adding to its unique atmosphere. Performances range from earnest to hilariously over-the-top, making it a fascinating watch. It's definitely a distinctive piece of cinema that embodies the quirky spirit of its time.
