Christ. Maybe this has all been an especially confusing episode of Mission: Impossible and this is all some colossal mind-fuck #Monsterdon
load the tubes and toad the lubes π€ #monsterdon
Huh. Just an arcade. Oh well.
Commander here has a crap sense of direction.
The old killed 'cause you got lost in the underwater dome maze story.
Itβs an emergency, set all stations to laconic and borderline depressed.
Their super submarine has rotary dial phones. That's how you know it's timeless engineering. #Monsterdon
@GeoffWozniak it's in case they accidentally leave their webcams on I guess I dunno #Monsterdon
#monsterdon so the aliens are using other people's prerecorded voices
Wait no
They're recording things as they say them, for uhhhhhh
Huh
I have questions regarding the female fishnet uniform but I think the answers are not unlike the male uniform: NO. STOP. GET SOME HELP. #Monsterdon
put your KNIFE away and stop HOLDING IT BY ITS BLADE #monsterdon
Commander Elric pointing at Commander Elric meme #Monsterdon
"Load the tubes"
I went before I left, sir. #Monsterdon

The computer WAS right π±
the ultimate in Deep Fake Danger.
Monologue time!
@jadebees maybe so, but it's the sets I love!
OK, they do have torpedoes.
And they they just leave! Sure! Fine! i guess? Whatever?
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
They described AI of 2026 back in the 70's. #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO πΈπ½
"I mean let's be honest here, we've tried to handle the alien invasion and we've made a right cock-up of it so maybe it'd be better if the JSDF handled it" #Monsterdon
I want to know what a man assigned to the moon base would look like.
So... they are practicing to be duplicates of the SHADO staff? I guess? The tape recorder bit is confusing.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Just so I understand, the aliens had to replicate the room too, not just the communications.
Oh so Earth has defenses?
Wow duolingo in the 80s really sucked. #monsterdon

The cassette player of alien-human hybrid control.
And an analog clock..
#Monsterdon
Hmm.
I forgot about this cloning plot.
They are breeding CLONES!
#monsterdon
Oh No!
At least give us some funky music!
That was one quaalude-ass line delivery
#monsterdon I do like the several minutes of this movie devoted to using comms devices while giving dirty looks to someone else offscreen
@ranjit The miniatures are their true works of love.
Wait, I'm confused, are they recording cassettes or are those supposed to be "radios"? #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
I don't understand what the cassette deck is about. Are they recording their impressions? #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Donβt the people in the movie studio wonder what happened to the chief?
THIS IS THE SHADO REALM
#monsterdon Well, at least he's dressed differently! That would've been embarrassing.
all aliens need to live in dorm room levels of RGB LED strips and "rave light" projectors or else thier face water will get sucked out into space #monsterdon
A reaction shot so powerful it cut away. #Monsterdon
Nice interior design in this under sea location
mfw I realize Paul Allen 100% saw this before 'creating' his music sky church #Monsterdon
"My name's bond, james bond"
#monsterdon we'll just hide by standing in the open doorway
The lighting in the dome does make the sets look cool. The good miniatures and set design are really at odds with how boring the writing and acting in this is.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
#monsterdon if your bingo card had middle aged square in a regrettable haircut and a rubber suit, I'm sorry: you won. So much service in this movie, but who for?
Do I even care about the clones? No. #monsterdon
Same energy #monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Our Eloi commander walks as though he left the plug in.
(If you know, you know, and I'm sorry.)
SURPSISE TWEEST
#monsterdon An abandoned French rave club at the bottom of the sea? Sacre bleu!
"wait- I'm already here?"
#monsterdon #InvasionUFO
βWell, letβs see what wonders await us down hereβ he said sarcastically
You guys have about ten minutes left to tie everything together into an actual plot, Iiiiii dunnooooo... #Monsterdon
It looks familiar because sets are expensive #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Wow they snuck into the Mormon Tabernacle #Monsterdon
good job the air is alright in there, much easier to just take off your oxygen tank, so much quicker than actually measuring the air in this stained glass alien egg.
They're going to find a diving team from the Seaview one more chamber over.
@mxchara @jsadow good point, and also that the world government is exceedingly prepared and competent in handling the UFO threat #monsterdon
oh yeah, don't bring any of the equipment you'll need for a quick escape at 59 min, it'll be fine #monsterdon
Well, that bubble wall thing made no sense
@wohali See, the submariners use underwater minutes, and the commander uses space minutes, they all just convert in their heads. It's like the paranormal body temperatures.
both characters took off their flippers and did not take even a moment to walk around making quacking noises
suspension of disbelief broken
"In an unknown country, I think it's better to travel light"
Incorrect. #Monsterdon
I assume that when these events played out over a period of months delivered by a series of weekly episodes with more backstory and context... they made even less sense to the audience #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
If you push hard enough on the egg it will let you just come inside.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
See he's the commander, he gets the fancy wetsuit
I remember thinking this episode even as a standalone was really annoying. I can't remember why but I'm sure we'll find out.
Oh that wasn't so bad, we're just in some giant ocular nerve #Monsterdon
whitechocolatespaceegg
Itβs completely smooth except for this porthole window
I'm not actually paying attention, I'm just thinking about all the problems fishnet shirts would cause on a submarine.
#monsterdon
They are going round and round on the egg dome looking for a glory hole. Err port hole.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO
When Miru dropped, I spent several minutes wondering if it was worthwhile to switch over to my offline copy. Ultimately decided to go ahead with it, for some reason.
"Could be some kind of plot hole or window" uh whoops I mean
Think the last time we saw this set it was with Peter Cushing and some Daleks
It's a Sun Dome like on Venus in the Bradbury story!
The mission to pop the sea pimple continues...
Sorry, yβall, I cannot stay awake. Iβll check back tomorrow morning to see if anything ever eventually happened in this movie
This isn't an awful sci-fi story but it's pretty dull as a followup to Subnautica. #Monsterdon
[sleighs hum] [ethereal uneasy music]
Is there AIR? Do you KNOW?!
@peterries and yet it feels like it's been playing for years.
#monsterdon #InvasionUFO
Look maybe I'm from a different era but I don't think being able to see your commanders naked nipples is especially conducive to professionalism or morale.
This movie is filled with random meetings and people saying βcan you hear me, can you hear me.β
They really did nail the future. #monsterdon
Will this movie ever make any sense? #monsterdon
And yet amazingly, absolutely nothing has happened. #monsterdon
They're not gonna let him in w/o the master sword #Monsterdon
