BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

gavin6942 A spaceship blasts off from Earth with five aboard, but one of them is secretly a Moon man returning home. He dies by accident during the trip to Luna.While this is incredibly cheesy, and not very scientifically accurate (at one point the rocket looks like cardboard), it is fun. The rock creatures are especially interesting. The spider is okay, although it does look a bit silly and this is the second or third time that same prop has appeared in a film.I am curious what color the moon people are supposed to be. In the version I watched, they were sort of greenish blue. But in other versions, they are more naturally human-colored. And, of course, originally the film had no color at all. I suspect the true color is closer to human-tone, because otherwise how did Dirk (the moon man) pass as human?

ebiros2 This is above average sci-fi movie from the '50s. There're few good characters in this movie that makes it a good science fiction movie.While not the grand production of the "Forbidden Planet", this movie definitely sticks out above similar moon themed movies such as "Cat Women of Moon" or "Operation Moon Base". The two ingredients that makes this movie higher quality is the choice of actors playing in this movie, and better props like the rock men of moon that can survive in the intense heat of moon's sun. Premise that moon's sun is intense enough to burn humans to the bones also was an interesting visual effect that left an indelible memory as a child.Interestingly enough this movie has similar elements to the "Cat Women of Moon" and the "Operation Moon Base" in that moon is inhabited by all women race vying for main character's love which doesn't settle well with his fiancé, and that there is non-legitimate crew aboard the spaceship.First part of the movie is somewhat slow and boring, but once the crew reaches the moon, the story starts to pick up, and becomes interesting.This is one destination moon type movie from the '50s that's worth watching.

oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Missle to the Moon, 1958. A private pair of spaceship makers want to travel to the moon. At the last minute, government officials intervene to take over their project. A hasty lift-off with a skeleton crew of two escaped hip-ster convicts and a couple of stowaways launch and land on the moon. On the moon, they explore and find a underground all female moon civilization thats dying. The moon maidens try to steal the Earth ship to use it to escape to their safety. *Special Stars- Richard Travis, Cathy Downs, Tommy Cook, K. T. Stevens, Nina Bara.*Theme- Spaceflight exploration is simple.*Trivia/location/goofs- Funny to see regular gym lockers in a spaceship for set dressing. this film is a remake of 3-D 'Cat Women of the Moon'(Cat Women had 'The Hollywood Dancers' for the eye-candy, in this film beauty contest winners) and 'Queen of Outer Space' with Zsa Zsa Gabor. The cave monster spider was also used in many other B-Movie films. The other special note was the use of rock-men that looked like 'Gumby' attacking the heroes. Location: Red Rock Canyon- Ridgecrest, California.*Emotion- I found this film' plot to be too repetitious of several other B-Movies to care very much. I did enjoy the unique elements of this film like the rock men and the moon maidens. This film is fun to see once, but not a second time. Go see it's original films for some much deeded and added entertainment value. *Based On- 50's moon flight technology and public knowledge.

Woodyanders A quintet of folks -- stalwart Steve Dayton (stolid Richard Travis), his plucky gal pal June Saxton (pretty Cathy Downs), kindly old scientist Dirk Green (affable Michael Whalen), brash escaped convict Gary Fennell (sparky Tommy Cook) and his whiny buddy Lon (jittery Gary Clarke) -- fly off in a rocket ship to the moon. The discover a race of attractive lunar ladies led by the blind the Lido (essayed with lip-smacking relish by K.T. Stevens) who are running low on oxygen and want to leave their planet as soon as possible. Clumsily directed with total seriousness by Richard Cunha, with plain cinematography by Meredith Nicholson, flat acting, a trite, talky script, an overwrought full-bore orchestral score by Nicholas Carras, sluggish pacing, laughable dialogue, tacky (far from) special effects, and uproariously obvious cardboard sound stages, this infamous nifty 50's low-budget sci-fi camp classic provides plenty of goofy entertainment and a sizable number of unintentional chuckles. The rock monsters in particular are a total hoot; they resemble pumped-up pernicious versions of Gumby. The giant fake rubbery puppet spider likewise makes for a positively gut-busting shoddy sight to behold. Moreover, the lunar ladies are all undeniably lovely, with Nina Bara clearly copping the top honors as the selfish and insolent Alpha. Good, silly kitsch fun.
