This cheaply made science fiction disaster film is so low budget that it goes from poverty row reputation to blue light special. Mostly indoor scenery with cheaply filmed shots of possible animated rockets represent an alien attack. Obvious stock footage looks like a bad newsreel or school made documentary. Few efforts to make this a human drama where a scientist's fiancé breaks up with him because she thinks that he values science more than her, while a pregnant wife of an army officer struggles to get in touch with her husband. But in spite of how badly made this is, there is something moderately endearing about it, made with such innocence that you can't totally hate it.
How many future film makers must have seen this as kids and been inspired to make better versions of the same story could be interview questions because elements of plot do developments of this are used in every disaster film that I've seen over the past 20 years. Some scenes are pretty shocking, literally as one panic stricken character finds while trying to escape down a New York City subway track. Acting is mostly amateurish and the pacing at times is painfully lethargic. This doesn't seem like a theatrical film, but obviously got some big screen release even though it probably looked ten times poorer than it does on television. Narration makes me call this Plan Six from Outer Space.
