Reviewing a movie as ancient as this one definitely presents some challenges. The way movies are made nowadays is like comparing a flip phone to a smartphone – we’ve come a long way, baby. We’ve got color, green screens, and computers doing most of the heavy lifting. Plus, our knowledge of the moon has expanded exponentially since this film was made, so we can spot the inaccuracies a mile away.
Despite all that, I decided to give it a watch. It was…okay. I must say, I do appreciate the old-school practical sets they used back in the day. But there were definitely moments where I found myself checking my watch and wondering when the excitement would kick in.
Overall, if you’re a fan of classic sci-fi films in glorious black and white, this one might just float your spaceship. But if you’re all about the shiny, modern stuff, you might want to steer clear. After all, there’s no shame in preferring a sleek Tesla over a vintage Model T.
