As movies moved on to sound and color so did science fiction along with the other tried and true genres that are still around today. In the 1950's two movie's should the highs and the lows of the genre first their was the day the earth stood still (1951) it not only had working effects for the time that it was made but it had a strong positive political message. On the other had you have the legendarily bad Plan 9 from outer space (1959) it was filmed in 1956 and it has a myriad number of flaws.
