The first space flight to Venus returns to Earth carrying a specimen of Venusian life called the Ymir. When the ship crashes into the sea upon its re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, the small, reptilian creature escapes, growing to an enormous size, eventually terrorizing the city of Rome. The always beautiful and impressive creature animations of the great Ray Harryhausen elevate the film above the level of ordinary 1950's monster sci-fi. The Ymir is one of the best-known creations in his long, distinguished career.

  • the monster in this movie had the best roar right next to godzilla's

  • @MrPyrateking All remakes suck. This movie works because you feel sorry for the creature. Look at the mess they made of "Day The Earth Stood Still".

  • @andy05011987 That's because Ray Harryhuasen designed both creatures and did the special effects for both movies.

  • the creature looks exactly like the Kraken in Clash of the Titans (1981)!

  • @PatrikCOH

    Epic observation.

  • They really could stand to remake some of these great RH movies, this this one, Valley of Gwangi, hell even the Sinbad run. But I guess the Dynamation is part of the classic charm.

  • @hydrolito alien was inspired by a species of wasp that lays its larva in the body of a host and it eventually eats its way through the host.

  • Love Harryhausen!

  • *Reader: ...had landed on the planet Venus

    *Woman: Venus?!

    *Man: The planet Venus?

    *facepalm*

  • Now HERE'S a movie that should be remade by an intelligent director- with vision! And don't even mess with the monster's look,. It's UNIQUE. And scary when pissed off.

  • This was before my mom was born lol

  • @hydrolito I haven't got a clue but there are much better titles then 'Twenty Million Miles To Earth' though saying that they could have picked a much worse title.
