The X from Outer Space (1967)
Synopsis of The X from Outer Space
Review of The X from Outer Space
You’ve heard of a movie that’s so bad, it’s good? That’s The X from Outer Space. It’s one of those cheesy monster movies that’s perfect for watching with family on a rainy afternoon. With lots of popcorn. At it’s heart, it’s simply a rip-off of Godzilla. A man in a rubber suit, rampaging through a cardboard city. A brave team of scientists (half of them Japanse, half Americans) bravely trying to fight it. And a star-crossed love story. Fight scenes that are so silly that it’s laughable. Remove all of the enjoyable parts of Godzilla, except for the rubber suit, and you have this movie.

The monster is finally defeated by jets dropping bombs, coating Guilala in a fictional substance known as ‘Guilalalium’ that causes it to shrink back down to spore size. They promptly launch the spore back into space, where it will supposedly circle the sun in an endless orbit. …The X from Outer Space ( Uchû daikaijû Girara ) ( Big Space Monster Guilala )
