King Dinosaur (1955)
2/10
King Lizards not Dinosaurs
22 May 2019
It is hard to find anything good about this movie. Actually the acting is good but the script is poor, so that is a wash. The long, boring introduction about the history of spaceflight up to that time may or may not have been accurate or may be future history. Finally the ship takes off and the four, barely introduced astronauts are then seen disembarking on the new planet. Nothing about the flight. There follows a long, uneventful exploration of the area that does not seem alien at all. Nothing at all happens until the the end when they encounter huge lizards which they mistake for dinosaurs. The action shots of the creatures fighting is not stock footage and is clearly the best part of the movie. To be sure, the two movies about spaceflight in 1950 were much better.
