Movie Reviews of Conquest of Space
Movie Review: Not as good as you remmeber
Summary: 2 Stars
This is one of those films that misses the "classic" category by a fair bit, and really is for Pal completists only. The science and humor has dated pretty badly, and the FX are pretty funny. The blue-screening on the space wheel makes it somewhat transparent along its bottom circumference. I can't believe no one noticed this, therefore I have to conclude that they let it go hoping no one would notice. Well, that hope is in vain. I can't say much for the acting, either. Still, it's a relatively painless way to spend an hour or so, and has undeniable historical significance in the ranks of sf film. I had remembered this film as being better than it actually is. Of course, the last time I saw it I was about 13 years old, and that was more than 40 years ago. Other films of the era have dated, as well, but they're lots more fun to watch. THEM, for example, or FORBIDDEN PLANET, or even INVADERS FROM MARS. Those still pack a punch. CONQUEST OF SPACE is more of a bitch-slap.
