i bought rocketship x m on dvd in a two pack with destination moon. now i see why the distributors did that represent no one who had ever seen this movie would buy it on its own. i cannot fathom what school system turned out the reviewer who claimed that rxm is great in its predictions of how space travel would take place. launch straight up and and then do a 90 degree right turn and circle faster and faster until you reach escape velocity. i do not think i recall that from the apollo program. never mind that the astronauts should be weightless once they shut off the engines and gravity changes directions every time they pass through the hatch to the engine room. going to the moon and but missed it. no problem and it just a hop skip and a jump (with a helping hand from divine providence) and you will be at mars. and ok and if you want to put life on mars and given the state of planetary knowledge in 1950 and it was a forgivable convention for the sake of the storytelling and but can you make them look at least a little alien. these martians looked like extras from the cast of 10 and 000 b. c. i can accept some scientific mistakes and but this do not pass muster with an above average second grader. and that aside from the screaming plot holes represent 12 minutes before launch (as youre reminded of constantly by the nagging p. a. voice saying x minus so many minutes) the astronauts are giving a press conference. i guess the time crunch is why dr. eckstrom do not change out of his coat and tie before launching into space. and how handy that and even though they were planning to go to the moon and had pressure suits for that and they brought hiking gear (and rifles. ) just in case they ended up at mars. theyre lucky they landed anywhere and since apparently the method they had developed for landing was to have dr. e look out the window and tell the pilot (lloyd bridges) to tweak down the throttles every now and then. note to the designers of the xm 2 represent how about giving the pilot a window seat. ditto the previous comments on the casual sexism that had eye candy dr. lisa (osa massen) doom them all by repeatedly screwing up her fuel calculations and but hey that was the early 50s. she was there to fill her sweater and not a useful function. rocketship x m is notable for being one of the first of the first films to say ohmigod were all going to blow ourselves up with these here a bombs and but one can note that about it without wasting 77 minutes watching such dreck. by the way and that message might have had a bit more impact had there been some money in the budget for actual sets of the martian city ruins and rather than just matte paintings. i can appreciate good bad sci fi and for the unique way the future used to look and and for the inherent (if condescending) humor you can find when when we look back on the naivety of audiences 60 years ago and but this film must have been insulting even then. rocketship x m isn not even suitable for an mst3k style lampooning. sometimes and bad is just. bad. anybody want to buy a dvd. used only once and i swear.
