This Island Earth Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 15, 2025
"This Island Earth," with its vibrant hues, unfolds as a comic book sprung to life, complete with a story and performances that align perfectly with that style. It's a comprehensive package offering interstellar conflict, empathy, deceit, and love. As a piece of 1950s science fiction, it remains remarkably enduring.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
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.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Pioneering sf drama about space travel is rich in storytelling, atmosphere, visual design and color.

Rob Humanick
Worth consideration from anyone who enjoys their profundity with a side of cheese.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Intelligently directed by Joseph Newman.
DVDJournal.com
Mark Bourne
...even though its increasingly camp elements have aged poorly, it deserves respect as one of the more ambitious, grandiose, and important science fiction adventures of its time.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Pretty impressive sci-fi for 1955, a near classic.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
Eye-filling sci-fi, although it's even better as the basis of 'MST3K: The Movie'
New Times
Luke Y. Thompson
Slower-moving than it needs to be, but hardly the object of scorn MST3K would have us believe
Greater Milwaukee Today
Steven Snyder
An appalling film, but good fodder for the mocking in "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie"
Flipside Movie Emporium
Rob Vaux
Inexplicably well-regarded, as ludicrous and simple-minded as they come
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Big budget, elaborate sci-fi. Nice to look at, but rather slow.
