ATTACK FROM SPACE

Cinemavixion Review

This 1965 Japanese science-fiction spectacle, "Attack From Space," offers a classic tale of intergalactic heroism. Directed by Koreyoshi Akasaka, the film introduces Starman, a valiant protector dispatched from the benevolent planet Emerald to defend Earth against the menacing Spherions. The narrative cleverly weaves a conspiracy plot involving Earth's own scientists, adding a layer of human betrayal to the alien threat. Ken Utsui leads the cast as Starman, embodying the quintessential superhero archetype of the era. While perhaps not a critical darling, "Attack From Space" provides a nostalgic dive into early sci-fi cinema, filled with imaginative concepts and the earnest charm characteristic of its time. It's a journey worth taking for fans of retro alien invasion B-movies and the enduring appeal of space-faring saviors.
