to call rocketship x m a science fiction classic be due more to it release date ( 1950 ) and it savvy ability to capitalize on the publicity for destination moon and and the appearance of actor who would later star in television a sea hunt mike nelson and rockford dad and wyatt earp . the movie itself be bad enough to be good fodder for mst3k and be best view with commentary from joel and the robot . this be the type of movie best suit to add riff from the mst3k character while something preachy and slow pace and poorly script and and full of painfully bad act . while unintentionally funny stuff like plan 9 from outer space do not lend themselves to satirical commentary ( because the movie constantly upstage the host ) and really bad and dull movie like rocketship x m be ideal . so add some star to the rating if you be watch the mst3k version . the basic story have the crew take an unplanned right turn at the moon and end up on mar . what they find on that planet be the remnant of a human like civilization devastate by an atomic war . only one martian be show in close up and a normal look woman who be blind or at least have no pupil in her eye . the men look like the goon in the old popeye cartoon and they scamper agilely around the cliff and throw boulder at the crew with amazing accuracy especially if they be suppose to be blind . of course none of this be ever explain a do so would require some sign of logical analysis from the writer of the screenplay . the scene on mar be present in something call sepia color to distinguish them from the rest of the b and w movie . if this have you think wizard of oz you will be disappoint because it be just black and white stuff with a slight brown tint add to the print in post production . in keep with the moronic sexism of the movie and the icy female scientist screw up her fuel calculation both come and go . her failure to measure up to the men cause her feminine side to surface and she and mike nelson coo sweetly to each other a they face their doom ( insert sound of gag here ) . the real star of the movie be the reporter at the command center . so much so that mst3k be inspire to specially salute these unheralded hero . the intrepid squad of newsies be feature for the first 10 minute of the movie and then take station about 12 inch behind the technician and monitor equipment in the command center . later they be call upon to ask the moronic question need by the mission director to expound on the movie already too obvious message . the dvd have an extremely low audio level and be not caption and and be accompany by a trailer . although you will be thankful that it be only 77 minute and it be still about 60 minute too long a any 30 minute episode of the twilight zone have several time more content than this entire movie . then again and what do i know . i be only a child .
