    I was 12 years old when this was at the downtown cinema. At 74 I can find so many faults and wtf with this or that. But at age 12 I probably couldn't get enough of it and wanted more. Now, we may critique but then we all found it quite entertaining. Buck Roger's and Robby the robot were all we had then, and we were glad to have it cause we did not know better. Thanks for sharing this film with an old kid.

      66 years young here and yup, today I see a ton of faults and other issues but what the hack, they did not have CGI back then and few real hard facts to work with. Yeah, time and knowledge changes things. I grew up working on vacuum tube circuits and now the chips are way to complicated for me to follow. Anyway, a fun and interesting movie to watch in this day and age.

    You old geezers are nuts. I'm 67 and these movies were then and are now still great pictures. They stimulated the imagination of a generation of young freee people in a great country. Those over stimulated minds have helped create the world and our advanced technology as it is today. And still inspire people to do better.

      in a time of constant political and psychological media.... this old movie of international co-operation and strife in doing something united is a good morale boost and focuses me on real engineering physics.... todays movies often BLUR rational and irrational.... this movie had little of the spiritual irrationality BUT did exhibit FAITH as well as Technological know how and competence. Very simplistic and not overly Psych counselor Pavlovianism that leads to politics and psycholgy murky sulleness that detracts from the goals of co-operation.

    I'm impressed that they included an African person who was prominently featured and made it to the end! Although, the name Makonnen is distinctively Ethiopian not Nigerian. But we'll make allowances, it's a true African sir name. And he had an earring in 1960! 😄

    • @kentvesser9484
      @kentvesser9484 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yeah, the fact a screenwriter probably goofed that up and didn't realize the last name wasn't accurate at this time isn't a huge problem as the fact they included a black scientist from an Africa nation in a movie of this time period is impressive enough. I wonder if this had any influence on Roddenberry having such a diverse crew for Star Trek.

    12 to the Moon was in production from April through June 1959 at Hollywood's California Studios. The actual filming took seven or eight days, and the entire film was budgeted at $150,000. Although the film was not released theatrically for another year, the American Film Institute notes that "According to an Oct 1959 Hollywood Reporter news item, Columbia purchased the independent production in Aug 1959, intending to rush it into release to capitalize on the topicality of a space launch." However, the film was released the following year as part of a double feature paired with either Battle in Outer Space or 13 Ghosts, depending on the local film market.

    Thanks for showing this, I enjoyed it thoroughly. It might be easy to make fun of the effects, air on the moon, life forms there, etc. However, the way I see it, this film does a very good job of showing the adventurous, optimistic and courageous attitude towards future space travel back in those days. Nine years after this film was released, we actually made it to the moon.

    There are two views - one from the present and one at the time at which this was done. An open mind won't criticize the science or cinematic expediency. This film is less science fiction and more political commentary. When made I was still less than ten years old and I enjoyed the final uplifting message of future hope. Five generations from now our current and recent films will be viewed as we see this one.

      Very much so. FP benefits from not trying to explain its (soft) science in 1956 terms, it just shows it in action and moves on. While it still feels a little dated in spots (eg the all-male crew, the lack of personal electronics) the spectacle and fairly high concept script makes it pretty timeless.

Movie makers didn't command the budgets or have the technology that exists now, nor the extra 60 years of moviemaking experience (despite the amount of nonsense that gets produced now.) And just like the Star Wars franchise, they weren't teaching a science class--they were just doing entertainment.

Many books some like Jules Verne and other authors, besides ScFi movies of years ago, somehow some of the stories become semi factual in later years, like men going to the moon with technological advancements. Technology today is far too much in its infancy yet to accomplish what some want to do with space exploration and travel, but someday future generations might be able to do so if the world changes it behaviors and attitudes towards each other, otherwise it will fail and the history of the past will only repeat itself.

Also there was a terrible dictator that was searching for the aliens and he ends up being taken away at the end against his will. If anyone can help me find this film I'd appreciate it.

      Badly. It might be possible to design a magnetic compass sensitive enough to react to Luna's very weak magnetic field, but that field isn't dipolar so even then which way the needle would point would be pretty arbitrary, changing direction as you moved.
      Now, go walking around Ganymede and you're golden. Nice strong, steady field there with two proper poles. Might get a little fluctuation from interactions with Jupiter's own overwhelming magnetic field, but still way more useful than on Luna.

    One of the worst things about this movie, is that the spaceship runs its engine the whole time. Even when it makes an 180 degree “turn around”.

      Nothing stopping you from maintaining thrust during the turnover if the ship's components stressed for it. It'd be a really stupid way to do it compared to just killing the main drive, doing your flip and restarting, but if you've magically got enough fuel to maintain one gee all the way to Luna and back with some to spare the course corrections you'd need to make through "oversteering" aren't going to use enough extra reaction mass to matter.
      Just being able to keep burning at that rate is space magic BS anyway, getting the turnover wrong is trivial by comparison. It would be one hell of a fast trip, though. Apollo took a bit under 52 hours to get to the Luna. At a constant one gee acceleration you'd be there in less than 4 hours. That is some grade A space magic, ain't it? :)

    The astronauts are wearing jet fighter flight-suits so that at liftoff all their blood doesn’t pool in their lower extremities... 😂 6:14

    14:40 "Remember - who contributes most to interplanetary travel? Russia."
    This guy inspired Chekov, who loved to brag about Russian accomplishments on Star Trek. 😂
    15:00 The first argument in space 😂
    15:24 "Ah you lucky people - nothing seems to worry you." 🤣
    This is as far as I've gotten - this is shaping up to be a great comedy!

      I've been laughing my a** off since they activated their "invisible magnetic radar shields". Gotta go to The Source or Radio Shak and get me one of these. Did anyone notice that they had no breathing apparatus? Well, I guess you don't need it if there is no glass in the helmets. This film is so bad it's hilarious. Gonna recommend it the You Tube channel Creature Features. Happy New Year to all on earth and outer space.
