Movie Reviews of Project Moonbase
Movie Review: Not bad
Summary: 4 Stars
As long as you remember when it was written - before 1953 - this is a fun, empty-headed little romp in space, with cold war (ohh, those naughty Enemies of Freedom!) references and a (brace yourself) moon landing! The scientific accuracy is a cut above most movies of the time; the plot and acting are not worse than usual for the era and genre (keep in mind that the usual was Teenagers From Space). The female lead looks good in shorts, but is not very believable as career military. (Neither is the general, who even in the 50's might have raised some eyebrows talking about spanking young women.) People demanding modern political correctness in their sexual politics should look elsewhere (probably, they should avoid 1950's Sci Fi in general). The rest of us will be entertained in solid B movie fashion, if pleasantly appalled at a few points.
Summary of Project Moonbase
Robert Heinlein's vision of space travel and the future of man are depicted in his second cinematic space travel adventure, his first being "Destination Moon" three years earlier. Colonel Breiteis, a female rocket pilot, and Major Moore, her co-pilot, are selected to orbit the Moon to survey a landing area for a future expedition, but a ruthless Russian spy-scientist aboard the ship causes it to land on the lunar surface, stranded and out of fuel. Will they live or die in these dire circumstances? Writer Heinlein gives us thrilling ideas of an orbital space station where people walk on the walls and ceilings, a rocketship that looks much like the real one that landed on the Moon in 1969, the American Space Force, commie spies and a woman President of the United States.Full Frame - B&W - English - Mono
