Aquele no final e o Júlio Verne de verdade😂
What a bad movie. I grew up on 50s 60s sci fi and fantasy and this was horrible, by standards of any era. Bad acting and awful screenplay are the culprit.
BEAUTIFUL VICTORIAN SPACESHIP INTERIOR…BUT NO SPACESUITS EXCEPT FOR USE ON THE MOON.
How prophetic!!
I've been a flat eartherr all my life but after watching this I actually think the world is round
Name of the movie could be father gone mad in space.
Meanwhile back on earth the conspiracy theorists get to work
Muy buenas pelis, lastima que cada vez subis menospelis dobladas al español, en la tv leer los subs se complica
The stars weren't filled in behind the spaceship at [1:15:24]. You can clearly see the crane that holds to model.
Someone in editing was fast asleep. 1:15 and you can clearly see the scaffolding holding the rocket in place…awkward.
The scientific inaccuracies are astounding. 😂
I have to say the Britiish movie " The First Men in the Moon " is a better film.
I wondet when the flaming meteors in space will turn up?. It was a mandatory rule that every 1950s space film had to have them …
Notice how the woman is quickly relegated to being the cook? 1958.
The woman in the spacesuit proves the acceleration tubes were a waste of resources. Bad writing, lazy writing.
I notice they use electronic musical effects from Forbidden Planet ( 1956).
The "acceleration tubes" are an idea from Forbidden Planet and This Island Earth.
Von Metz: And what you believe, mr. JULES VERNE?
Jules Verne : In something more real than facts, mr. Von Metz; Imagination!
I noticed that the electronic music is the Krell in the Forbidden Planet, obviously the the music was copied from this movie
What a boring, pretentious movie. It would turn any kid against science fiction.
Nice film here…🙂
Super movie
54:50 'ere whats with the Krell machinery sounds…
THE PEOPLE LOOK SO SMALL IN THOSE HOUSES…
In Deutsch isses besser vor allem deutscher titel englisher film was ein blödsinn dislike da schau ich lieber meine version
Great bloody movie 🙂
I like to mention that this story in the film is NOT the story Jules Verne wrote. Apart from the beginning, in presenting the main characters, the rivals, that is just a futile part coming from Verne's novel. Everything else is a completely different story.
I do not have objections against stories getting written, loosely inspired by "some" novel, but it is always an insult to present it as the original stuff. Look at 0:15 , the titles saying "From the earth to the moon" – "BY JULES VERNE" , and that is a lie. If the producer simply had had the guts to subtitle it clearly as , "LOOSELY INSPIRED ON THE NOVEL BY JULES VERNE" , then, it would be ok. This is such a typical sin from countless film producers, who abuse the name of a novel writer who does not have IP rights anymore.
By the way, what this film story is doing, is exposing the classic post WW2 1950-ies fear and/or appraisal of atomic power (disguised as Power-X) , interspersed with a dozen 'technologies' never mentioned in the novel of Verne, and on top of it, a rather stupid (childish??) love story. I can only guess that this insert (not even with an ending, for the underlying adventure story) was put it due to the fear, a fantasy adventure film would not bring enough people to the cinema, so digging in the very profitable 'love couples' market. 😉
In contradiction with the telling style of Verne, no humour comes in. The original novel had plenty of humour (as always with Verne…, even when death is the most central theme in his stories !) and American film production teams near to always drop/destroy it. ALAS.
Whatever the film may be (the acting is good), it's an intellectual theft to call it "BY JULES VERNE".

~ LOL, they used the same sound effects from the movie, Forbidden Planet", made in 1956, & some of the rocket scenes are so atrocious.
I never noticed on former viewings that they stole the sound effects from
the film Forbidden Planet.
Jó kis film volt
Rich greedy men all gathered around a table expecting more profits. These men, made rich, by the violent death of other men. Is this not the history of our planet.
I remember i saw this movie when i was 6 or 7 yrs old.
Never knew what the name of it was. now 40 yrs later, all o can see are "errors".
they never sucked out the gas from the tubes, nichols shouldhave been dead.
the moons position is all wrong ofc.
they share a bottle of wine yes its a champagne bottle and even the liquid seems to be champagne.
97 degrees longitude west;
42 degrees 30 minutes latitude north is
Buffalo, New York, USA.
5:27 . . Uh-Oh!. . The shadow of the boom mic can be seen for a few seconds, up near the candelabra (top right of frame) . Before someone realizes the mistake and moves it back to the left to be in shadow again.
absolutely corny lol
No friction if no atmosphere
👍
I wonder if Elon watched this movie at some point…. Starship sure looks like the Columbiad.
hou les vilains voleur de bruitages. planète interdite 1956
Mettete titoli in italiano e poi trasmettete in lingua inuit . Guardatevelo voi
Perché non trasmettete film in aramaico …
1958 ?
Power X ? Like in "X– Rays" ?
a nodd to the age of the atom 🤔😉
Still to this day a great story, albeit with horrendously laughable VFX.
Did this movie inspire Lost in Space??? – Right down to a moustache-twirling Dr Smith-like character 🧐
An interesting use of the Forbidden Planet soundtrack as they headed off to an around the Moon..
I read Vernes book a long time ago, this adaptation seems different, more cold war worries here but still worth watching
They are going to the moon onboard of Titanic ship😅😂😅
Vi toda la peli y nunca alunizaron.
I am old enough to remember all these old films and the actors…How I loved my life then…..What a mess we are making of are planet now …….Best wishes to all.
Best Sci-Fi movie ever … except Wallace and Gromit's "A Grand Day Out" 😉
Something obscene in treating arms dealers as just plain old businessmen.
But that is what you get from a 1950s film toeing the line of anti-communist American patriotism that ends up whitewashing the crimes of old white men sociopaths.
