After a Japanese town is totally destroyed, the military arrive to investigate. They encounter a giant robot that is decimating everything in its path. A dome appears out of the ground and a group of scientists are invited to meet the alien Mysterians from the planet Mysteroid. The Mysterians have come in peace; all they ask humanity for is three-square kilometers of land and the right to interbreed with Earth women to repopulate their species. Outraged at such a suggestion, humanity declares war on the Mysterians. (official distributor synopsis)

The special effects are absolutely excellent, and some scenes truly captivate. It's evident that the filmmakers had to strive at times to make the result good in certain scenes despite having a low budget, but at other times, the creators truly shine and it just looks excellent. The fact that there's always something happening and it's not just about the monster adds to the film. The excellent sound, enhanced by the new stereo technology, underscores the fact that this film is truly well-crafted, both technically and in terms of its story. A wonderful B-movie.
