Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

mmcgee282 I Remember seeing the right eye print of Gog on t.c.m. years ago.It was rather slow moving.Today I finally got to see the film in it's restored 3D version on Blu-ray.It was ratio at 1.66:1 ratio.The story is very intellectual,so, there is strong character development and barley any actions.It came from out space had minimum of character development with action and was a faster pace.It doesn't make it bad film. If your like me and get cluster phobia ,the total focus in the film ,in the compound through out the whole picture might bring it out Wearing 3D glass it amplifies it more .Because your being drawn into that well insulated compound.The out door sequences you get the relief.The whole story takes place As Constance Dowling is showing Richard Egan the staff and the compound,when all this mysterious bad things are going on,since D.r.Hubertus and his assistant Helen was mysteriously murdered.There are two Robots in this compound Gog and Magog.They start causing problems. Why are they doing it ? Why are things going out of control?One one scene you see these two soldiers looking at a special telescope that looks like a natural vision cameras in disguise .The actress,Valeri Vernon ,who plays one of the wife of the doctors,weather hair platinum blond gray.Where they trying to make her look older .They did not put enough old make up to look real old,or was it's just a effect? This is a cold war film .We all know who the enemy was .It was implied, the communist spies from Russia .There is a 3D made interviews on the disc of the Restoration of this film ,where the head of the 3D archive discusses it.A 2003 video tape of Herbert L. Stock ,who had near flat eye problems .I'm wondering if he was aware of the cure for this problem that eye doctor offer ,even that time.There is also an interview with the cinema photographer Lothrop B. Worth, at the old folk home where he discuses his involvement in the development of Natural Vision 3D.Worth buy or Renting. 03/05/16

Michael_Elliott Gog (1954) *** (out of 4) A security expert (Richard Egan) is at a secret laboratory where they are experimenting with possible space travel. They're also working on a couple robots and soon various doctors end up dead and it's clear there's a murderer running loose. GOG is a pretty talky little picture yet it does a very good job at holding ones attention from start to finish. When the movie started I wasn't really sure where it was going to go but director Herbert L. Strock handles the material quite well and makes the film worth viewing. As with many science fiction films from this era, there's some laughable moments today and especially when we now know about time travel and various other things that they were just guessing at when this movie was made. Some of their thoughts on these subjects are pretty funny today but this doesn't take away from the movie. I was really surprised to see how little action there really is. Usually when you have a movie like this full of dialogue it gets bogged down and becomes very boring but that doesn't happen here. I think the idea behind the story was interesting enough and the actors good enough to where they could keep the viewers attention. Egan does a great job in the leading role and his serious performance certainly helps you feel as if these events are really going on. Constance Dowling is good as the woman with a crush on him and we get strong support from Herbert Marshall and John Wengraf. The two robots really don't look scary at all and today they'll probably be more campy than anything else. Still, GOG has enough going for it to make it worth viewing for fans of the genre and this era of science fiction.

junk-monkey This film has three acts. In the first two scientists are killed by a mysterious unseen hand and an undercover security officer arrives to investigate. This part isn't too badly done, the scientist and his assistant are frozen to death. Frozen so cold in fact that their bodies shatter when they fall over which, because of budgetary constraints, they do off-screen. For act two the security officer and his undercover girlfriend security agent take us on a guided tour of the base, meeting a mixed bag of identical scientist types who lecture at great length their experiments, show us short clips of stock footage by way of illustration, and then explain and why they could not have been the mysterious killer and, to tell you the truth, the film almost grinds to a halt with tedium. This procession of (not too outlandish)ideas may have been pure "Gosh-wow! The future is going to be so Cooool!" at the time it was made but it all looks dated and plodding now.Act Three. Action! - slowly segueing into hilarious ineptitude. More people get bumped off! The chemist who was analysing some mysterious 'atomic powder' found in a suspect device is poisoned by a pot plant so radioactive that simply putting a glass dome over it cuts most of the clicking of the hero's Geiger counter. The acrobats in their anti-gravity vests made of a 'new alloy of aluminium' are spun to death in their space-suits. The head of base security is somethinged to death by sound waves "Get out! Sound waves at this intensity can kill!" Actually I'm not really sure WHAT happens to him, his shirt sort of explodes while he is trying to cut the cables to a set of electric tuning forks and then he falls over.(Just why he is trying to cut the cables to a set of electric tuning forks is not really clear either, but as he was such a terrible actor I was just willing him to die by this point so I wouldn't have to look at him any more and didn't care about the details). More action! A robot goes on the rampage in the computer room. "Can you use a flame thrower?" asks its creator in an impenetrably thick German accent while keeping it at bay with a short stick, "Yes!" cries our hero. "Melt him down! It'z the only vay to stop him!" Then, in the heat of the moment, the scientist's accent goes into hyper-drive and I have absolutely NO idea what he says next. I have played that section of the movie over and over again and it still sounds like: "Time bext zoim - in demzoim down ze hall - hurry up!" but whatever he does say our hero understands and he rushes off - that or he'd figured the odds had just turned against him. Killer robot AND insane babbling German scientist? Stuff it, I'm off. But no! He returns with the flame thrower. Unfortunately the mad German scientist has tripped over a claw hammer lying in the middle off the floor and been strungled* to death by the robot. Suddenly the alarm sounds! "The reactor!" The other killer berserk robot is in the reactor room removing the control rod. That's right. THE control rod. This atomic pile has a control room with a little lidded wooden box mounted on the wall. Open the lid and you can pull out THE control rod which starts a carbon arc (like you used to find in old projectors) and throws the hilariously inept 'Atomic Indicator' dangerously into the dark beige. Our heroes arrive set fire to the robot and replace the rod. Whew! Saved! But! What's this? Coming through the door is killer robot number one who has busted out of the other lab!!! - and the heroes' flame thrower is out of gas! But, just when things look really bad... (for the heroes I mean, the movie has been looking really bad for ages) ...in through the doors bursts aged, venerable, head scientist, Herbert Marshall waving ANOTHER flame thrower (every nuclear power plant should have at least two). Unfortunately his flame thrower doesn't work so well. Just when... etc. The stock footage of USAF planes we saw taking off earlier shoot down a mysterious fibre-glass aircraft which has been flying about overhead eavesdropping on the supercomputer and hijacking it to commit the murders.Now there's a really daft idea. I mean can you imagine anyone trying to take over someone else's computer from a distance.

geg1043 Just picked it up on DVD. This is one of a very few movies that stuck with me from my childhood. Scared the crap out of me when I was 7 years old. Great flick...even now. Part of my childhood is remembered in black and white...from all those B grade science fiction and monster movies I saw on TV and in the theaters. Growing up in NYC, I would be able to catch some of them five to six times a week on Million Dollar Movie...every night at 8 PM and twice on Saturday afternoon. The movie title comes from the bible (Ezekiel 38) and has an end-of-the-world connotation. This flick is a must see for all of us who grew up in the 50'. The other movie that effected me was Spaceship XM-7 (Blood Rust). Gog was especially awesome for its interesting robots, Gog and Magog. They were short and rolled around on hidden wheel. Se this flick...it is a part of American history.
