Venus Schmenus...this thing is pretty neat even at 50 yrs old.Well, while this is another level of brilliance by Ray Harryhausen, it is not one of my favorite movies but I grabbed it because I enjoy watching it from time to time. Basically this movie got the same treatment that IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA got (see my other review) as far as the colorization and features. This time, our feature critter crash lands in the sea off Rome and a boy finds a capsule contain a gel like substance, which turns out to be protection for.......our critter, once hatched, our critter begins to grow rapidly because of earth's air supply and soon becomes large enough to be a real pain in the butt and starts wreaking havoc all over Rome. While entertaining to watch, there are others in the Harryhausen series that are better but that's just a personal opinion. It is definitely good enough to add to your Sci-Fi Library for sure.

Good nostalgic fun
Great example of Science fiction B movies of the 50's. If you love that kind of stuff, you will love this. If not, don't bother. April 5, 2008
More, please.
Getting this is a no-brainer if you are a fan of Ray, or the "golden age of sci-fi".
I'm not a fan of colorization, but this is actually kind of interesting. It looks like those old hand colored lobby cards (which I collect). And the B&W is there if you prefer.
Will more of Ray's work get the Blu treatment? Pretty please?!! March 13, 2008
Entertaining B-movie fun
I first read about this film over at DVDbeaver and was looking forward to seeing how it had been colourised. I was not disapointed, the film itself is the typical low budget hokum that you would expect from this period. Though the special effects from Ray Harryhousen are very good for their time. The colourisation is variable in it's success rate. At it's best it looks like a 50's colour film but, as is often the case with this process, the greens for trees and grass is less than convincing. Skin tones, often poor in earlier re-colourings are generally pretty good. I certainly did not find the colour distracting. A black and version is also included and it's possible to switch between the 2 versions using the "angle" button on the remote. January 28, 2008
