The movie is called "Doomsday Machine" but the title object barely appears in the movie at all. In fact, almost the entire movie takes place in space, where none of the destruction caused by this machine is made. It features a bunch of guys who go into space. They can't stop complaining about there are women on the ship. Yeah, it's pretty easy to call this movie sexist. Most of this film makes no sense at all. One guy tries to rape a woman and then another guy stops him. The first guy tells him to lay HIS hands off her and beats him up? What am I missing here? Even for 82 minutes, this film is needlessly padded.Even the very end of the movie contains about a minute of nothing happening and lots of footage of two people doing nothing. The movie ends with the last two survivors being told by aliens they won't be allowed on their planet, but can apparently...go to another side of the Universe. Whuh? Speaking of the title plot, why would the Chinese blow up the entire Earth with them on it? There's no motivation for anything that goes on in this movie and it's completely boring. Even the sets look stupid. I have no clue why anything's happening and I hate it. Why are always the worst movies the ones that are so easy to see online? *

Since Casey Kasem died recently, I've been on a binge to watch as much of his movies I could find on the internet. I watched this one on the Internet Archive. Casey is the mission control officer talking to the astronauts which consists of three men and three women. Oh, and the only other familiar face in this low-budget flick to me was Mike Farrell, pre-TV "M*A*S*H", as a reporter at a press conference. Not much action, except for a near-rape, and the dialogue is mostly exposition and some cheezy screaming among the women. One of them has my favorite line about "stud poker"! Overall, this was pretty boring, so much so I keep checking the timer on the screen to find out how much was left! Still, I loved seeing the late Kasem doing his thing on screen as well as stock footage of a rocket lifting off and a disaster from possibly another movie so for that, Doomsday Machine is at the least worth a look.

Wow! I had low expectations after watching Santa Claus vs The Martians on the humor of Cinematic Titanic, but I am a believer now, these guys are really funny! I like the gags off the film too, something I miss on Rifftrax. Frank absolutely cracked me up more then once and the film in general was very interesting and then totally disintegrated which was really fascinating! I read the history on IMDb, love watching unfinished films that get spliced together with other unfinished films! 10 of 10 awesome! Spoiler: I could watch this film without the riffing it was very interesting to me. I mean it is the perfect combination of cheesy and erotic and science fiction I was really into it, that is up until the film ran out of money and it's ending was vaporized in a spliced footage. Reminded me of They Saved Hitlers Brain, another must see. It does not deserve a 1 star as it's very interesting and the spliced footage makes it a curiosity to watch more. I refuse to rate it on a 1 to 10 scale because it doesn't deserve either grade but as a Cinematic Titanic episode I'm staying with a score of 10, very very funny!There are 10 Cinematic Titanic films on Hulu to watch for free (with around 6 or so commercial breaks) I think Hulu Plus is commercial free but I'm not sure.

I sometimes wonder why people make these sub B grade movies. But since they are made, there must be a market for them, although I have no idea where.Out of all bad movies of this type, this one is not bad. It's clear that they had no budget for special effects, so a footages from a Japanese disaster movie is used, and the rockets are also from Japanese movies, and you can clearly see the rising sun symbol on its wings. The best part of the movie is its plot. An exploration to Venus is suddenly altered at the last minute to exchange 3 male pilots for 3 female pilots. In fact the plan is to convert the space ship into Noah's ark for the survival of human race. But they do not find the new world so friendly either. This movie can be remade with better production. The story is that good, with few alterations.I hope someone will recognize the value and do a decent remake of this movie.
