dull and dull and dull . do i mention it be dull . i have see many an old science fiction movie make in the 50 and 60 and and i can not remember one more boring than this . bad acting and bad plot and bad effect and bad music and horrid science . hard to believe this be make year after the war of the world and forbidden planet . in fact and the only sf movie i can recall that be comparable in deathly dullness be quatermass and the pit aka five million year to earth . this be rko picture corporation last release and and if it wasn not solely responsible for rko demise and it be the final nail ( and a big one ) in rko coffin . what a difference from the miniseries of the same name release in 1998. even 1964 first men in the moon and base on a similar h. g. well story and be far superior . that and at least and try to inject a bit of fun and humor into the story here and there and not to mention have good and old fashion ray harryhausen special effect . jules verne must have be spin in his grave faster than the suppose astronaut here in their acceleration tube . sf movie have come a long way since this and and we should thank the star .
