Robert Sellers

This intelligent slice of 1950s sci-fi - two and a half years in the making proclaimed the poster proudly - ranks among the best and most cleverly conceived of the genre.

Even as a gargantuan MST3K fan, I was always irked by the fact that the gang chose to mock a genuinely good movie. It's gratifying, therefore, to see the ambitious This Island Earth reclaimed for posterity.

Michael E. Grost

Pioneering sf drama about space travel is rich in storytelling, atmosphere, visual design and color.

Worth consideration from anyone who enjoys their profundity with a side of cheese.
