- Spoilers in case you haven't had an opportunity to watch this film since 1936 :P
This movie is available online for free all over the web. I recommend watching it before seeing this, but if you want to rewatch the ending or would just like to see it without watching the film, here it is.
Stop arguing over nonsense, or at least help the rest of us find a way off of this God damned rock to get away from you. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

This ending holds up really well. A thousand years from now this scrap of film will look prophetic.
I've always thought of this film as the definitive snapshot of the spirit of the British Empire. That vision and confidence for exploration, coupled with a fear of progress and the consequences it brings. I doubt any empire in history will ever so perfectly encapsulate itself in this way.
"..what if they don't come back, your son and my daughter.."
H.G. Wells was way ahead of his time, envisioning female astronauts.
This is what I believe. This is why I exist. This is why I live.
Gives you goosebumps.
Has for me, for sixty years, still does.
Yes, most Prophetic.
The look in his eye, bordering on Madness and Greatness, that gleam of the Future.

Today, these words find their place to honor the pilot of SpaceShip Two, which crashed and took his life. We continue on and will go on.
Indeed. "All the universe, or nothing!"
"Per aspera ad astra"
Came to watch this to celebrate 50 years since Apollo 11 and the lunar landing!
I felt the future in this film was still highly dystopian, despite getting rid of war.
But that was the point, to settle for scraps, or to be something more.
"Ok, tea break's over, better get back to work. Those toilets won't clean themselves."
Thanks so ,much ScheisseZwei for posting this clear and exciting ending. It sums up the feelings I had during the great period of 1960-1970s space exploration. Now NASA budget is only a fraction of it once was and our aspirations have fallen ... deeply
But I am comforted that the monies taken from space Exploration have provided ....Obama Phones.
johnmburt1960 space is fake this film happened in the napoleonic wars 🕳💸🛐
From what I understand, H.G. Wells wrote the screenplay for TSOTTC in response to Fritz Lang's classic silent,"Metropolis" which he found odious and far too bleak a depiction of man's future. But speaking for myself only, "The Shape of Things to Come" borders on the overly dramatic as expressed in the corny dialogue written by scribe, Herbert George Wells. In the plus column however the visuals were fairly cutting edge for 1936.
Not up the standards of "TheTime Machine" or "War Of The Worlds". But HG was older and so so close to WW2.
Watching this on TV during 2020 quarantine.
I really like the music at the end, with the chorus.
Music was written by Arthur Bliss.
John Cabal (Raymond Massey) looks like Sir Oswald Mosley to many people at the time
Do you think so? I can't see it myself.
The actor who played Maurice Password by in the film was a big Mosley supporter.
Raymond Massey !!!
33 years later we landed on the moon.
Saw it on television years ago. Magnificent !
Although visually impressive, the "space gun" concept of travel to the Moon was already outdated by the time this movie was made. The use of rocket technology was recognized as the only way to accomplish Earth escape velocity. Firing humans from a giant "gun" (including a sight on the end of the barrel!) inside some sort of giant "bullet"---the G-forces would have squashed a human being like a ripe banana.
love the film
Until we come across people who are roughly 10000 years ahead of us and then they exterminate us for trespassing
Those are some crazy threads, man. I'll make those look good, LOL!
No "THE END"?
Seems like you missed the point.
The film was saying that there will be no end to man's quest for knowledge.
Where can I find the full movie in ~720 p?
Elon Musks Mars rocket launch speech...
A Space gun? Really? So I’m assuming that neither rocket or jet propulsion never got invented in this alternate future.
A rocket is a backwards space gun.
While it's depicted as a "gun" the technical description, such as it is sounds more like a mass driver or railgun. While you can`t seem to find it now there used to be a version of this circulating back from the 1960s where somebody replaced the gun with film footage of the launch of Apollo 8. Somehow the look of a Saturn V on the launchpad looked rather close to the gun launch complex.
The Nazis hadn't invented rockets yet
@@goaway152 But the Americans had, ten years before.
some of this oddly resonates with the "extraordinaryness" rethoric of Nazi Germany and the 2nd World War. Hopefully we are all smarter now than to circumvent our human intuitions when we follow great ambition.
As much as people can admire this, this kind of rhetoric really displays the arrogant hubris and entitlement of mankind. Rather than wanting to humbly understand the laws of nature simply for the acquisition of knowledge, this mindset displayed here is obsessed with "conquest" and unbridled, almost megalomaniacal ambition, the same colonizing mindset that permeated the minds of imperialists of the past. Seeing as this film was made at the time where imperialist ideology was still deeply ingrained in the general population I can forgive that, but today we must understand that this is a horribly flawed way of looking at space and space exploration and that we need to learn to humble ourselves and rid ourselves of this archaic ambition in order to be closer to nature, not above it.
That is a rather narrow interpretation of the ending. I think in our present time when science is still frowned upon in many parts of the world including the US, the idea of the human race "conquering" is not of people or real estate, but rather "conquering knowledge". Carl Sagan famously said, "we are the way for the universe to know itself."
Remember you are not a God
Great cheesy movie!
