Destination Moon is a more serious, and somewhat accurate, look at a trip to the moon though with the inevitable Hollywood crisis. Rocketship XM is a bit silly (like a press conference at T-17 minutes, entering the rocket at T-5 minutes and stopping to take a look at the engines) but still kind of fun and with a bit of a moral. (I understand that it was created in a hurry to get it out before Destination Moon.) Rating: - Great deal - great films - 50/50 on the prints This is a great deal on two "out of this world" 50's sci-fi classics. The films are great fun for any lover of 50's science fiction. The DVD of "Rocketship X-M" looks great but beware - the print of "Destination Moon" is not very good. Lots of scratches and splice jumps.

What helps this flm is the fact that there are no real stars in it -- but very competent and very recognizable actors at the least. "Rocketship XM" on the other hand was a hurry-up film made ...

We can still appreciate that, although not on a par with Star Wars or Jurassic Park etc., they were masterpieces of their time. Rating: - 1950s rockets to the moon I got this two-pack for about a buck, when some store was closing and liquidating its stock. It was the best buck I've spent in a while, giving two wonderful Eisenhower-era views of space travel. Of course that meant traveling somewhere, and of course that meant the moon. "Destination Moon" is just a little hard to take straight-facedly today. There's a long interlude early on explaining how a rocket works, in the form of a Woody Woodpecker cartoon. The reverential attitude towards American ...
