With that booming voice pulling its strings to get your attention, you have no real choice, and it's obvious that he's going to command your attention no matter how bad the film. Coming down to earth in a bubble not unlike Glinda the Good's in "The Wizard of Oz", he is as far from over the rainbow as a visitor from elsewhere can be. Wearing a long overcoat, huge hat and over-sized lensed glasses, it's apparent that he's on earth for a mission that the military guarding this huge ball does not want to hear. Speaking calmly but with great commanding presence, it's obvious what he's there for. After all, we've seen this plot line in dozens of science fiction B movies since the early 1950's, and one more attempt won't hurt
Watchable and fun, it's somewhat talky and dull whenever Carradine is not on screen. Former athlete turned character actor Bruce Bennett is the other fairly known actor in the film, playing the man in charge, and unsure how to deal with Carradine's presence. Angela Greene plays the mother of a young boy who befriends Carradine, while Paul Langton is the military leader who finds himself at odds with doctor Bennett over how to deal with the unearthly visitor. It's apparent that once again, earthlings have no hospitality towards other worldly beings, and that could eventually mean our planet's doom.
