That was Benedict Cumberbatch's mom, BTW!

HEY there went a woman without the requisite wig!

She must be an officer.

#Monsterdon

I wonder what Ultraman is doing right now.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Why is everything in this movie SO FUCKING WEIRD.

Even the surgical masks are weird.
#Monsterdon

This commander doesn't seem to be prioritizing the safety of his personnel 🤨

#Monsterdon

#monsterdon "Fan out" is the sci-fi equivalent of "Let's split up!"

@klu9 She lost her wig! Oh no!
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

@strangefour It’s the same woman heading up Moonbase but I guess for gravity reasons her hair doesn’t need to be purple on earth. #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon

Having a woman in this movie who's bob cut is the same as the moon women's hair style, but isn't purple is upsetting to me.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

landed in northern Canada? has anyone informed Prof. Lawler? #monsterdon

These interceptors with their big nose bombs seem pretty useless.

#monsterdon

"Control to Interceptor Three: You're fucked mate"

Set course for the Sexy Moon

#Monsterdon

Aha! They just need us for parts.
Republican aliens??

#Monsterdon

You can't tell this is a number of tv episodes stitched together, can you?

#Monsterdon

"Red one two nine interceptor go for green with X T C one zero two sector niner…"

There's no plot, just long strings of jargon, codes and numbers.

BIG HOLE MESH LONG SLEEVE SHIRTS IN A SUBMARINE WHAT HAS FASHION DONE MY GOD NO

Extremely long establishing shot to make absolutely sure you understand this is the moon and not just arizona at night in black and white.

Thank you for flying SHADOAIR, please remain seated until the rear projection comes to a complete stop. #Monsterdon

Luggage bondage, it's a filthy subculture. #Monsterdon

Now I kind of want to edit The Prisoner into a 97-minute movie

#Monsterdon

@rebeld @Taweret Ooooh that is bizarre and also explains a lot.

#monsterdon

@Binder I do not regret being entertained by the CC descriptions of sound effects. After that ending, it’s about the only good thing they came out of this.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO #InvasionUFO1980

@CactuarJoe i mean, it was a lot of nothing, but gawd we have watched some real stinkers this year, so...

#monsterdon #InvasionUFO

🛸💥 That was Invasion: UFO! Huge thanks to @Taweret for hosting the invasion and extra [CLASSIFIED] thanks to the #Monsterdon crew for staying up late last night and helping me dye my hair purple.

...If anyone needs me I'll be at the discount mesh apparel emporium

Please tell me this is not the beginning. Oh thank goodness. Credits!

Thank you for hosting @Taweret. And thank you everyone else for making this somewhat palatable. Have a great week!

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

"...they can never know the truth" huh

None of us know the truth

I don't think there *is* a truth

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

There's a weird thing in this movie where the Commander is obsessed with horrific deaths for everyone's family members.

#monsterdon

This is like the parody Star Trek TNG trailer "A Fistful of Explosions" that just clips together all the explosions in that show.

#monsterdon

"It's about my sister, isn't it?"

"She's dead."

WAIT WHAT WHO THE HELL WAS THE SISTER

#monsterdon

I have no idea if that volcano... Eruption? Explosion? Was plot-warranted and frankly I can survive without knowing. WHERE do I get fabric in that delicious plum colour?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

That dome is a lot bigger on the inside.

#Monsterdon

@nev The opening held real promise, pacing-wise, but everything went downhill when the results of splicing together several TV episodes to make a "movie" made themselves felt

#Monsterdon

The aliens are us! It wasn’t a YOU-foe, it was an US-foe all along!

#monsterdon #invasionufo

There's plot armour and there's being the head of the big organisation and venturing into the underwater alien tit-base alone but for one other man...

#Monsterdon

Welp. We're underwater on the sexy shirt vessel again. Nice inflatable walls! No idea where we're headed. Atlantis?

#Monsterdon

yeah, just breathe the alien air, it's fine...

#Monsterdon

I no longer understand what's happening. I have literally lost the plot. Something about yufos and Atlantis.

#Monsterdon

The era of one-piece sleeveless romper uniforms came to the end once costume designers learned to ask, what if there's Taco Bell on the moon?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

"Somebody is peeing down the front of our periscope lens, sir" #Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

They’ve stolen the moon!

#monsterdon #invasionufo

They're tapping our internet!

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

Fun fact: having a shirt that is made entirely of holes is a terrible idea for so many reasons. I mean human resources would like to have a word, for starters.
#monsterdon

So they cut out all the plot, right? That's why this doesn't make sense?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

dang first time I tune into #monsterdon in a while and it’s sexy mesh shirt hour

MA THEY’RE IN THE FISHNETS AGAIN
GET OUTTA THE BATHROOM MA
MA YOU’RE MISSING IT
#Monsterdon

If the Aliens were smart they'd take out that snooty space computer in orbit

#Monsterdon

Why are they randomly blowing up a ship tho

#Monsterdon

Oh fuck yeah this movie has a toy boat in it! Besides the submarine-jet, we get a normal cargo boat too.

I mean, I'm not all that surprised we have a toy boat, because this movie has all the other toys in already, but still boats are cool.

#monsterdon

@moira LET IT RIP!

#monsterdon #invasionufo

@crowbriarhexe Our slutty chainmail thong technology is woefully behind the times if we can't handle 5-axis radial symmetric body plans. What have cosplayers been doing all the time if not preparing for this day?

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

#monsterdon If only SHADO had educated the public about the dangers of UFOs instead of keeping them secret for no reason at all, this tragedy might have been averted.

RIP blue Spike from Buffy. He didn't take well to being injected with Earth drugs. The high was too much for his little alien body.
#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

This feels like one of those 2 movies each 50% finished shooting and nobody willing to sink anpther penny into either so....why don't we just edit them together and release it? #monsterdon

This is just every forested planet in Stargate SG-1. #monsterdon

@crowbriarhexe It hadn't occurred to me until now that this whole movie may have been made by model rail enthusiasts

#Monsterdon

Aliens dressed in fetish gear....

#Monsterdon

@strangefour Only the moon women have earned the right to purple hair.

#monsterdon #invasionufo

The humans have got themselves an RV! #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon

@jsadow @Rozzychan I don't remember the purple hair ever being directly addressed, but it was pretty clear that it was just part of the moon base uniform. For the girls, at least.

#monsterdon

Whose 6th grader do we have to thank for these lovely diorama backdrops?
#Monsterdon

FYI, Canada is a country to the north of Yusa

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

I can’t WAIT to hear 80s era northern Canadians pronounce “UFOs”.
#Monsterdon

What's the point of having interceptors that don't actually intercept?

#monsterdon

#monsterdon The worst place possible! Canada!

None of this is science

#monsterdon #invasionufo

Don’t blame the bandaid for this, it did its job. #Monsterdon

"That sounds more like a 'you-fo' than a 'me-fo.'"

#Monsterdon

Lots of implants? So now we're on to Starsky & Hutch meets Dr. Strangelove meets Space 1999 meets Thunderbirds, meets Six Million Dollar Man?

They're rolling together all the 1960s & 70s popular elements.

#monsterdon

He looks like those people who take colloidal silver

#Monsterdon

pretty sure this is just a few episodes of the UFO TV show snipped together somehow, because I vaguely remember seeing all this before.

#monsterdon

I foe,
you foe,
we all foe for Ufo

#Monsterdon #InvasionUFO

You just know the Lego kits for this would be exquisite

…maybe we’re watching them…
#Monsterdon

A monsterdon aerial battle that isn't stock footage of a real war?

#Monsterdon

And I’m spent. #InvasionUFO #UFO #50ShadesofGrade #Monsterdon

Please, give me more 1970s music that smells like cigarettes

#Monsterdon

Because we're doing a tour of all the cool miniatures we have, we then see the secret SHADO submarine, where the crew all wears fishnet shirts. Some of them are boys because the directors decided we needed another gender of eye candy.

Anyway, the submarine people haven't done anything yet, we were just establishing that it exists, I guess. Chekhov's submarine I guess.

"Yes. Should we consult at least one non-white country?"

One of the sillier backronyms in SF. But it does look cool!

Needless to say this meeting is a bit of a sausage fest....

#Monsterdon

Now why weren't they asking these questions when the AI hustlers were demanding trillions for their project?

"A Base on the Moon"

Think big or fuck off

#Monsterdon

Imagine the World's governments working together via the UN to deal with a global, civilisational crisis....that's the real Science Fiction

#Monsterdon

Ok, so the explosives special effect guys had a ton of fun with this one!!!

Wh- Holy mother of god! Can you DO that with a human tongue? #Monsterdon

@ranjit @Binder

Same people. They did Thunderbirds et al earlier.

#Monsterdon
#InvasionUFO

Launching my #monsterdon thread for "Invasion UFO", which I think is based on the 60s scifi series with the fancy miniatures that I started watching and then couldn't decide if it was good or not.

My favorite part of the 60s UFO show was that it was set in the 80s, but their version of the 80s looked even more like the 60s than the 60s did.

Anyway, I think this is a movie in the same setting, maybe?

They're firing lasers made from chunks of lead. #monsterdon

I hope Carl Sagan comes out and says smart stuff

#Monsterdon

Wow, so we're watching a clip show. That's a new low.
#Monsterdon

@rebeld @Taweret Like especially just that there is a lot of attention paid to the mise-en-scène but the narrative is totally incoherent.

#monsterdon

I award this UFO movie 4 out of 5 gratuitous jet miniatures.

This is a compromise. It would get 1 out of 5 for plot and characterization, and 5 out of 5 for costumes and special effects. This would average to a 3, but it also gets +1 for having a toy boat in it.

The best character was the multi-gendered fishnet nipples. The worst characters were the green aliens, who were rather flavorless for what was supposed to be a planetary existential menace.

#monsterdon

The COMPLETE wild card of the abducted-for-parts sister at the end 🥴

#Monsterdon

@jsadow @Taweret

Actual scenes, nothing new added I could tell.
