If The Day The Earth Stood Still was intended to showcase mankinds preconceived idea that all things that are not immediately understood are inherently evil then Twenty Million Miles to Earth was destined to drive the point home. Very rarely has there been a more tragic figure portrayed on film as the Ymir.

Welcome to Earth.
