This is a story about Martian hybrids that came to colonize Earth five million years ago. One of their ships went off course and ended up in the mud. The ship is found during a subway excavation, and the fun begins.
When I was a youngster, many movies gave me nightmares, such as “It Came from Outer Space,” where I kept seeing eyeballs. Now, only one movie left to get over, you guessed it, this one. I cannot look a grasshopper in the face. And as with most viewers, I saw it on late-night television as "Five Million Years to Earth."
This film is logical and spooky, especially by 1960's standards. And you get all the stereotypes, such as the military, that are just determined that this object found buried is a bomb. It makes you want to slap him around. Then there is the professor who knows better and is ignored. I could go on. But you need to see this movie. The only thing that is stretching but fits in a sci-fi movie is the device that changes thoughts into pictures; see this setup again in “Brainstorm”.
