something about this movie just screams low budget . and it not merely the lack of fancy special effect or the soundstage bound nature of what be suppose to be a sci fi or adventure film . it mostly the disjointed feel of the scene and the amateurish editing and the poor pacing . dullsville . the act doesn not help and since it doesn not look like theyre try at all well and maybe george sander and as much a he can with an underwritten part and and henry daniell have a spark of life that make him stand out but if i hadn not see joseph cotten before and i would never suspect him of be a competent actor and judging by this performance . tire and uninspired . i never have see debra paget in anything else and so i be go to have to say . not much of an actress . she would have to be terrific to make something of the awful dialogue she give . the love scene be laughable . the movie pretty sexist too . with a condescend remark about include woman in future space travel . to provide hope ( eh . ) and prepare the meal ( hey . ) . the character motivation be unclear and plot hole and inconsistency make for a weak script and hurt this movie far more than the lack of budget require to take u sightsee on the moon . but i suppose other bad script with bland act and have be save by cool visuals and and this one might have be too . the late great producer and irving thalberg and once say he have no desire to take credit and splash his name all over his film ( very commendable modesty ) and and those be some of the great movie ever make . his name become well know anyway and on the strength of his work and admiration of his peer . when i watch the opening credit of far from great from the earth to the moon and i couldn not help notice the name of the producer . who i have never hear of . keep pop up repeatedly . you can draw your own conclusion .
