That’s it for this week’s #Monsterdon. Loads of fun. It was great to compare this version of #InvadersFromMars to the original. There were aspects I liked from both, but I definitely liked the Martian creature effects in this one.

Thanks, @Taweret, for hosting and, @cheribaker, for the bingo card, and everyone else for the lulz!

I guess I can conclude by saying that was whelming.

No movie should end with a kid walking in on his parents, screaming.

Somebody seriously needs to get this kid a stuffed animal or something. Hugging a bag of pennies isn't right.

It's pewpew time!

Now, I'm no entrail physics expert or anything, but ...

#Monsterdon I keep typing #InvadersFromMars when I mean to type #InvadersFromMars1986 . I deeply deplore this mistake but will not correct it.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars outside the evil zombie dad hands a weird detonator to another guy next to the Nasa warehouse, so he can blow stuff up.

The kid and nurse tell their weird story to the general, who is suspicious, but the general's aid, who I will call Captain Clemens, reports that nasa did indeed see a UFO last night. The kid tries to explain stealth technology. The general decides to play it safe and orders a security check on the nasa guys who were eaten by the sandpit.

#Monsterdon #InvadersFromMars the kid has the plan to complain to the authorities, specifically a general guy, who decides to meet with them on his secret GI Joe base. On the way in, we see the dudes who were sucked into the sandpit doing some work on a NASA thing outside the army base.

We meet the general in his room that collects retro CRT computers, who kindly lets us see the back of his neck so we can conclude that he's not a space zombie.
