Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

benjaminweber When I started watching this, I wasn't sure whether it was the genuine article, or a well-made parody of campy 60s films. Just the name, "Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster", reeks of a bizarre 60s film milking the Frankenstein name for all they could. Somehow they don't even get that right, and 'Frankenstein' is not Frankenstein's monster, but a malfunctioning android called Frank who is compared to Frankenstein's monster!The plot will be familiar to anyone (Oh no, X is kidnapping our women, and we can't stop them!), but particularly those who have seen Devil Girl From Mars (1954), which this film rips off. Aliens from a planet devastated by war, led by a seductive villain, come in search of breeding stock. You can't make this up any more, because it's so clicheed it is embedded into our collective culture!Finally, Frank has a fight with the close-up camera angle monster on the ship and everything on the ship is destroyed, leaving everyone else to ponder what just happened, and how this idea ever got any funding. It's a film that is fundamentally broken, yet still somehow entertaining. Worth watching, but not for the reasons people usually watch films.

O2D Why am I watching these terrible movies?I guess someone has to.Anyway, this is my third or fourth Frankenstein movie and none of them actually had Frankenstein in them.How is that even possible?I assume they lie about it to trick people into watching their bad, bad movies.It worked on me.So some aliens are hovering over Earth and shooting down our rockets.The aliens have Spock ears but each ear is completely different.The main alien has one almost good Spock ear and the other one looks like it was made by a 5 year old who had never seen Star Trek.The aliens need to repopulate their planet, and of course women of a different species will do just fine, so they have come for the Earth women.At one point a military guy calls another military guy and says they just got a twix from Washington.Washington sent them the candy bar with the cookie crunch??He continues to say that strange looking humans were reported in Puerto Rico and the other guy says it's probably Castro.Seriously?A high ranking Army official doesn't know the difference between Puerto Rico and Cuba?What about the fool who wrote this movie?What about the hundreds of other people who worked on the movie?None of them knew the difference?I have been thinking there was something wrong with people in the past but now I have a new theory.People in the past were stupid.Old people aren't becoming worse, they were never great people.But the movie just gets worse.They have no problem kidnapping a dozen women.The women and their men never put up a fight.But when the main female character and her companion split up(because that's what you do in bad movies), it takes three aliens to drag her into their ship.Even worse, they decide they want to capture Frank.What is the logic behind that?Does he look like a woman to them??So they attack Frank, a guy who has proved he can easily kill people by barely touching them, and he puts up less of a fight than the woman.What?That really just happened and I didn't turn off this movie?This guy got shot in the face and then beat the alien to death while it was wearing a helmet but suddenly he can't fight? Bad acting and a worse plot combine to make you wish you had never watched this movie.I give this two stars because sadly, there are worse movies.I almost forgot that I think I learned something from this movie.It was made by a company with Futurama in its name and a guy in the movie said "robit".The Professor on the cartoon Futurama says "robit" all the time.This had to be where that came from.I don't understand why this was deleted. The mods clearly didn't read it.

Coventry Once every so often, you encounter a movie that leaves you completely dumbfounded… With a title like "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster" you can already safely derive that you won't be seeing a highly intellectual work of cinematic art, but still the film was at least five times as demented as I could ever have imagined! This movie is the epitome of cheap & trashy 60's Sci-Fi/horror. No plot was grotesque enough, no set design looked cheesy enough and you simply didn't have a satisfied drive-in audience if the movie didn't feature any extended footage of dancing bikini girls! There's something ridiculous to behold at any given moment during the film, whether it's a passive acting performance or a hilarious attempt at special effects, and the plot appears to get sillier with every minute that passes. Somewhere just outside the our stratosphere, there's a Martian ship floating around and nuking earth's spaceships because they're war declarations. The Martians are all bald guys with pointy ears and there's one queen who stole Cleopatra's wardrobe. The crew is on a mission to capture earth babes (preferably in bikini) because they urgently need to repopulate their planet! Meanwhile, the pointdexters over at NASA are running out of living astronauts and decide to skyrocket an android into space instead. The android's name is Frank and he looks quite nasty when half his face gets blown off, so his creators inventively nickname him Frankenstein. To make the title fully relevant, there's also a hideous monster aboard the Martian ship that Franky has to overthrow before he can rescue the babes. Put all these crazy plot elements together, add a swinging 60's score and some cardboard scenery, and you've got yourself a genuine drive-in favorite. This movie is probably a very unwise choice if you swear by the repertoires of Sci-Fi luminaries like Andrei Tarkovsky or Stanley Kubrick, but it's a delightful treat for us fanatics of kitschy smut.

sol1218 (Some Spoilers) Updated and modernized version of Mary Shelley's classic "Frankenstein" where the monster is a NASA constructed astronaut named Frank Saunders,Robert Reilly.Frank is slated to be the first "Man" to both travel and land on Mars but things get a bit haywire for him when his rocket is shot down by an alien craft outside the earth's atmosphere. The alien craft contains the last remnants of the Martian civilization that was destroyed in an atomic war. The captain of the craft is Princess Marcuzan, Marilyn Hanold, who's the only surviving woman of the Martain race. With her is the cue-ball headed and giggling Doctor Nadir, Lou Cutell, who's the mastermind in the Princess' plan to kidnap scores of sexy shapely and child-bearing earth women and use them, with the help of the surviving Martians males, to replenish the dying Martian race.Crash landing in Puerto Rico Frank is attacked by a number of Martian spacemen trying to take him captive. Escaping from the Martians with the left side of his head blown away Frank mindlessly roams the Puerto Rican beaches and countryside trying to get help only to scare to death anyone he runs into. Meanwhile the Martians are quickly grabbing, on the beaches and from tourist hotel swimming pools, dozens of sexy and bikini clad young women to take back home for breeding purposes.It when Frank's creator NASA engineer Dr. Adam Steele, and Frank's human girlfriend also a Nasa employee Karen Grant, Nancy Marshall, track down the confused and frightened brain damaged astronaut that they set him straight. It's then when Dr. Steele reconnects Franks damaged electoral circuit's, that he finally get his act and head together.The highlight of the movie is when Frank in his attempt to save the kidnapped young women is confronted, as a last resort by the Martians, by the space monster a hairy looking creature with what looks like crab or lobster claws. The fight between Frank and the space monster goes on unabated as the women, that includes Karen, make their escape from the spaceship. Grabbing a ray gun from one of the Martian crew members Frank breaks into the captains quarters and finishes off both Princess Marcuzan and Doctor Nadir who are desperately trying to get back to the safety of their home planet Mars. In the end Frank like selfless and brave hero that he is gives up his life by blowing the Martian spacecraft to pieces and thus prevent another Martian invasion of earth in the not so distance future.This is the first and only movie that I can remember where the Frankenstein Monster, Captain Frank Saunders, was actually shown in a positive light where he ends up saving lives instead of taking them. Frank, before he got his head almost blown off, was unlike in the previous Frankenstein movies a fairly good looking guy not the tall nut bolted Golem that were used to seeing since he made his inaugural appearance back in 1931. It's just too bad that in "Frankenstein meets the Spacemonster" like in all the other "Frankenstein" movies the big guy had to be killed off at the conclusion of the film. It would have been a far better ending if he, after getting his damaged head fixed, would have ended up marrying Karen, thus she becoming the Bride of Frank or Frankenstein, and live happily ever after.
