Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
These 1950's B-movies just get worse and worse. When I heard this title, I thought it was at least going to be a movie with a lot of fiery action scenes. Instead, I got a boring and pointless movie. It's just amazing how bad the costumes were in this. There is no point in the least to make it look like they're on another planet, or should I say Moon. There's this one monster that appears and appears to just be some guy in a turtleneck sweater with a mask and painted hands. The story is that astronauts discover a new moon on Jupiter and decide to go there. How are they able to go all the way over to Jupiter? Why haven't they tried going to some planet that's much closer seeing as how they have the technology to do that? It turns out these people were from Earth because they're from the lost city of Atlantis. How did they get to this moon? I honestly couldn't tell an actual cheap effect from something that was part of the set. This just seems to be nothing but padding as everything is just too boring and pointless. Outer space is featured relatively little and it looks nothing like another area besides Earth. They get with the women at the end even though it's said they're already married. It's an even dumber looking and acted movie than a lot of other films at this time. 1/2. By that I mean half a star. That's the first time I've used this rating and this deserves it!
I just love this movie. I can watch it over and over and get enjoyment out of it. I first saw it in 1956 as a child and watched it many times over the years. The musical soundtrack is so captivating. Susan Shaw is very cute. It reminds me of the early Universal Pictures Horror Movies that I can watch again and again. This movie and The Mole People and Zombies of Mora Tau are my favorites from the time period. Please watch it and see if you agree with me. Many of the current movies cannot hold my interest and I have to force myself to sit through them. This movie has a certain charm and holds my interest. It is a low budget but they did a great job with the funds they had at the time.
The problem with this film being in the sci film genre is that the aficionados tend to take films far to seriously.Why else would so many people have rated it at 1'After all the budget of this film was clearly miniscule.The sets are very small.The rocket seems to consist of 5men sitting at a desk.The monster is a man in a monkey suit.Harry Fowler and Sydney Tafler talking with American accents.The exterior of the rocket is only shown as gas as the top of the ladder.The astronauts appear to wander around the nearest local park to the studio.The formaldehyde who seem like the contestants in the local beauty contest.A classic of the genre.
I saw this movie when it was released. My friend and I who saw it thought it was funny then and I still think it is one of the most unintentionally funny films ever made. The 'no-expense-spared' location shots of, possibly the planet Clapham Common, are a complete hoot. Whenever I talk with people about bad films I have seen (and I've seen a few) this one always comes up. Some of the people in it went on to become car-park attendants, I think. One thing, though. It was a 'B' feature, but I cannot for the life of me remember what the big film was, so it must have had something to make me remember it. And, it was better than 'The Wicker Man' (don't get me started on that bilge!)
