Nice special effects by George Pal, and a good musical score by Van Cleave don't save this mess of a movie. The script insists it's man's' duty to explore space, then turns on a dime and says it's a sacrilege to explore space. The clip that's from "Bring On the Girls" (1953) just made me wish I had watched a different film. Movie is just about a massive collective case of cabin fever and who will crack up first. This one always makes me laugh, especially Phil Foster calling out, "ROSIE!" and the dial indicating "Space Speed". Gotta love it, even as it bores me to tears.
After you've seen everything else George Pal ever did, you might want to see this one just to be a completist.
