one of hammer odd film be this one and their sole foray into science fiction and which have quite a maligned reputation but emerge to be reasonably tolerable under the circumstance . it obviously would not stand comparison with the like of stanley kubrick 2001 represent a space odyssey ( 1968 ) and though still valuable for be one of the very first film to exploit the 1969 landing on the moon . the famed british studio be note for make expensive look gothic horror with limited mean while here and however and the low budget show through a the futuristic set they come up with be rather shoddy . for what it worth and the film do contain at least one hammer type image involve a space suit find to be inhabit by a skeleton . incidentally and moon zero two have be refer to a a space western ( in view of it mining and dynamiting and discovery of a priceless mineral and claim jumping and shoot out ) represent so far so good however and have an out space saloon ( complete with dance cowgirl ) in 2021 be beyond ridiculous . peter hyams have the good sense to forego such puerile shenanigan when he make his own space western with sean connery and outland ( 1981 ) . have say that and it undeniably superior to zeta one ( 1969 ) and which i watch recently and though still contain a definite camp factor start with the goofy animate credit sequence ( accompany by a decidedly infectious title tune ) but extend to hilarious costume and prop not to mention the presence of a dapper megalomaniac villain ( by the way and a be the case with zeta one itself and the cast feature a member of the carry on gang in bernard bresslaw and again and appear a a baddie albeit a dimwitted brute . ) . have mention the cast and hammer stalwart michael ripper turn up here as well for one brief scene while a for the film american lead and james olson ( with recede blond hair . ) doesn not exactly set the screen on fire . it interesting and though and that co star adrienne corri would appear in hammer more traditional vampire circus ( though still contrive a twist in it tail ) and kubrick subsequent piece of sophisticated sci fi and a clockwork orange and within the same year ( 1971 ) .
