one commentator below remark that if you want to see every sf movie ever make and sit through this once and never see it again . well and my objective be a little less grandiose and but when i get a chance to see this on tcm and i be excite that i would be able to view this and and mark one movie off the ilimdb list . then the movie come on . at first i think that all the talk and set up would shortly be follow by the blast off . i wait through scene after incomprehensible scene and a cannon be fire and arm dealer jibe and and former pres . ulysses s. grant show up . i do not mind talky sf picture when the talk mean something ( the day the earth stand still be great ) and but this be just drivel . by the time the rocket be launch i can not even say whats go on . once finally in space and the audience be subject to an excruciatingly predictable and and poorly render and make plot about one of the passenger sabotage the rocket and a pretty girl stowaway and the usual stuff that be do much well in the woman in the moon or rocketship x mbut what really be the nail in the coffin in this be the romance between the stowaway and the young and blond pilot . it be so obviously contrive and with dialog seemingly take directly out of mainstream romance movie of that day and that one find himself yell wtf . out loud . an example oh and whatsyourname and all i know be that when the rocket do explode and please hold me . i want to die in your arm might have work for the complete lack of chemistry between actor . the movie one save grace be it fx . big budget and color and space movie from this period be actually quite rare and and this be a chance to see some fair eye candy from a relatively early date . oh and and another quote ( father to girl and after discuss their inevitable death on the rocket ) well all that matter right now be that you have cook u a good meal .
