Dead guy blinked
"wait a minute... this is just a guy in makeup!"
@klu9 good point!
#Monsterdon
Scoring direct hit on the title of the movie
#monsterdon The UFO has a chemical toilet leak, driven by Cousin Eddie...
this is making me want to get back to my Airport series watchthrough #monsterdon
Almost ever scene is someone sitting in a vehicle or at a desk or standing next to a machine. This was written before the decided to go live action wasn't it. This is all marionette action.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Has Alec gone to chat up Benedict Cumberbatchβs mum yet? #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon
Laying on the James Bond vibes a bit thick there
Who else is looking up where to find this soundtrack later? #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Store-brand Bond music for Store-Brand Roger Moore
How they gonna blow their load for the best line in the film this early
#Monsterdon
It was hard to tell that was an underwater scene, needs more harpsichord
"As I child I loved models....the exactness....the attention to detail"
so it turns out the plot summary of this movie just being "SHADO exists and has a bunch of cool equipment" is more or less accurate #monsterdon
#monsterdon
The hair, especially.
They aren't even aliens, the purple wig and eyeliner are part of the uniform.
that's no heat shield
What's going on here? These men have on so much clothing. #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½
@Bluedepth maybe they're looking for Veruca Salt. #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
so, do we think this movie has a plot? or is it just people in astroboy helmets failing to properly lock target on an off-screen alien?
for the record, i'm cool either way. (^_^)
This movie gives me a gay Star Trek vibe. lol
I wonder what the aliens are up to right now
#monsterdon Wheee! Down to the garbage compactor! Where our best pilots go! Crunchβnβmunchβ¦
ok they got the nose right earlier but you wouldn't ever do that at speed...woof. #PlaneFacts
The little-known countdown to the beginning of the countdown
This is the future we need! Men in fishnets! Purple hair! Moon bases! #monsterdon
And right out the torpedo tube he goes...
Do the pilots have to crawl back up the slide after they return to base?
I wonder if those tapes would still be readable now...

I... love this. I love it.
Orange Juicer in atmosphere!

Get me Gordon Freeman's brother!
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
even if this movie turns out to be a dud I will not be able to hate it because of all these models #monsterdon
that was 5 minutes of solid tech talk right there
#Monsterdon
were any computers OEM with this BRIGHT ORANGE trim?
Why does the voice remind me of the galaxy god thing from Futurama?
#Monsterdon
Morgan Freeman? Freeman Dyson?
They didn't show him again, am I to presume he died? #monsterdon
Props for having a Black pilot! Hope he survives!
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
This is not so much a movie for telling a story as much as it is a mood board which happens to be composed of motion pictures #Monsterdon
"And get me Alec Freeman"
"sorry, unavailable. Will Gordon suffice?"
To be clear: the mech models and costumes are the ENTIRE point of this show.
Why emote when you can just...not?

Is every scene an excuse to show more eye candy and nothing at all to do with a plot. ... Like, no plot at all ... none whatsoever. Nothing but design flair and synchronized movement with jazzy music?
#Monsterdon
I can tell this film is from the same era as Thunderbirds because of the pixels
Something is being intercepted. They're having a person of color do it, which would be nice, but I suspect he won't live. #monsterdon
"thrilling funky music" whoever captioned this movie deserves a medal
Battle prep with grooviest movie ever!
Thunderbirds are GO!
#Monsterdon
Iβm VIBING to this soundtrack #monsterdon
oh my god the bent tip plane is a real thing but i guess they just bent them when they were landing.

importantly, they were also known as "droop snoot"
CGI is overrated, look at those miniatures! #monsterdon
Oo yeah, we got that 60's space funk β« #Monsterdon
The costume design leaves little to the imagination in the worst ways.
Some sort of tension is happening. I don't know what it is because this was edited by someone who experienced time differently than any other human ever has.
#monsterdon
Go Speed Racer!
#monsterdon
I'm buying the album
I don't know about you but I'm very into this ridiculousness #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
I think i built these in Kerbal Space Program
Excellence in blinkenlights on this thiing, I gotta admit. Several good shots already, doubtless more to come!
Into the laundry chutes!
make the men have purple hair too #monsterdon
As a kid I thought the Interceptor launch sequence was the coolest thing.
I think Gerry Anderson did too, it happened at least twice every episode.
Chaser lights are GO
Pattern lights are GO
UFO lights are GO
Pilots to your laundry chutes! #Monsterdon #invasionUFO
I gotta say, not so much about this movie but about sci-fi from past decades: there seemed to be a lot of optimism about how quickly humanity would be able to iron out the problems and establish a permanent lunar colony. In this #Monsterdon movie it happened in ten years or even less (bit difficult to tell from dialogue)
"Your code is an older code, but it checks out."
Space. Intruder. Detector.
@Lazarou What else are they going to do, go hiking?
Discount Starsky spends all his time trying to guilt everyone into action by going on about visualizing their family members getting attacked by UFOs
#monsterdon
So they have to be super careful about security, but they clearly label all their marketable toy- uh, I mean, high-tech defense assets? #Monsterdon
XCOM theme intensifies
I halfway expect to see Joe 90 make an appearance
#Monsterdon
Long-disatance transportation in the future just means having a purple-haired woman rotate the Earth until your airplane winds up where you wanted to go in the first place
i don't know what the movie is "about" but everything within it fucks, including this totally aerodynamic bent tip dick plane #monsterdon
Why are we back to an airplane? And now in orbit.
WAS THIS EDITED BY A SADIST?
#monsterdon
Which men's fashion trend is sluttier? #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½
Is this supposed to be character development?
I wonder if that SST is a Thunderbirds hand-me-down. #Monsterdon
I'm just waiting for Austin Powers or Dr Evil to make an appearance. Yeah, baby, yeah.
this guy really likes to talk about other people's mutilated relatives
I think the main character looked better in the military uniform #Monsterdon
@floatybirb One of the episodes does a _lot_ with that - I think it's called Timelash? It's great.
Whining that he has to run the movie studio upstairs

No one even DREAMS of what my real function is.
That is what security is all about.
Is it though?
Costume department: βwhat could be worse than cream bodysuits? Oooh!!! How about cream mesh full-sleeved shirts????β
You-Foe
Why does everyone in the submarine look like they're going to a white party? #Monsterdon
I do like that the ceo's office comes with a minibar
#monsterdon my arayes was supposed to be ready in time but SOMEONE needed an extra ten minutes to cook
We were on the moon and now theres a submarine. I don't think they know how to establish shot. #monsterdon
Net undershirts were all the rage in the future
