"The Mysterians" ("Chikyû Bôeigun") is a Japanese science fiction film that is part giant monster film and part serious sci-fi. When it's serious sci-fi and its plot is about an invasion of the planet, it's pretty good. When it's a giant silly looking monster (like Godzilla and an accordian...with deely bopper antennae), it is pretty stupid....and really unnecessary to the plot.
Some aliens from what was the planet between Mars and Jupiter arrive and set up camp in Japan. While these aliens say they want peace and are not invading....well, they don't want peace and they are invading. So it's up to all the know-it-all scientists and the military to figure out a way to dispossess these interlopers...especially now that they are also demanding nookie with some Earth women!
This is a decent film....but the whole giant monster portion definitely seems out of place and hurts the overall film. Very watchable but nothing more.
