BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

gavin6942 A spaceship blasts off from Earth with five aboard, but one of them is secretly a Moon man returning home. He dies by accident during the trip to Luna.While this is incredibly cheesy, and not very scientifically accurate (at one point the rocket looks like cardboard), it is fun. The rock creatures are especially interesting. The spider is okay, although it does look a bit silly and this is the second or third time that same prop has appeared in a film.I am curious what color the moon people are supposed to be. In the version I watched, they were sort of greenish blue. But in other versions, they are more naturally human-colored. And, of course, originally the film had no color at all. I suspect the true color is closer to human-tone, because otherwise how did Dirk (the moon man) pass as human?

mark.waltz Thank goodness that this was not in smell-o-vision. I would have to have had a close pin on my nose. This ranks as one of the lamest movies of all time let alone probably the worst remakes of all time. The original version, Catwoman on the moon, is one of the worst films ever made, and to find out that there was a remake made just five years later,I rolled my eyes even before the film started. Well not entirely a duplicate of the original, this has elements that make it believe it or not even worse.Giant rocks that walk, a hideous looking spider the size of an elephant and an aging queen fighting to keep her throne are among the ridiculous elements of this wretched piece of science fiction. The women who live on the moon look as if they are living inside a Mardi Gras Festival, with K.T. Stevens as the Lido aka queen of the moon women. She has a rival to the throne in her assistant Alpha who defies her at every turn in her efforts to take over. The visitors from Earth includes two escaped convicts and several scientists who kick off accidentally from earth and end up on the moon which remarkably looks like a desert. All of a sudden, rocks break out of the formation, walking so slowly that there is no way they could ever catch up to those they are after. This monster as well as the spider ended up in that delicious 1982 spoof of bad science fiction/horror films, "It came from Hollywood", and in a way it was fun to find the film that I remembered the silly clips from.This just gets sillier and silly are as the movie goes on and I can't imagine driving audiences actually watching this without laughing or throwing things at the big screen. It is just so absurd. Yes the spider is gruesome looking and may give you the heebie jeebies, but the rock people are so stupid looking, like Teletubbies filmed in black and white. The acting is hideous, particularly by the space women and ranks up there with the worst performances of all time, although I did have sympathy for K.T. Stevens. In fact I would give this collectively the award for worst acting of the year, because everybody is so bad that I couldn't single just one person out. Veteran actress Stevens tries her best but you can see behind her character's apparent blindness in her own eyes that she was just thinking am I this desperate for a paycheck? Phony looking sets includes the earthlings looking out the cave palace window at supposed land which is really s bad drawing. So grab some popcorn, sit back and laugh. Because you are entering into what remains worse than even the stupidest of the early Star Trek episodes.

bensonmum2 Fans of serious science fiction need not bother. In fact, to call Missile to the Moon a "science fiction" movie is something of a misstatement. "Fiction" – sure. "Science" – not on your life. Any resemblance Missile to the Moon may have with actual science is purely coincidental and, most likely, unintentional. But that doesn't mean it's not entertaining. Taken for what it is (a 1958 low-budget drive-in b-movie), it's not half bad. Sure, the rock creatures look fake and the giant spider is obviously a puppet and the inhabitants of the moon are straight off an Atlantic City beauty show runway, but all these things only add to the fun of the movie. It's kooky stuff like this that always seems to appeal to me. Don't take it too seriously and you just might enjoy it. There are a couple of other positives. One, the film is nicely paced so that at only 78 minutes it doesn't overstay its welcome. And two, the movie looks far better than it should given its meager budget. I'd say that the cinematographer, Meredith M. Nicholson, got it right. In the end, Missile to the Moon may not be the greatest movie ever made, but as a piece of entertainment, it's certainly better than its 2.4 IMDb rating. For what it's worth, I'll give it a 6/10.

William Missile To The Moon seems to be a remake of Cat-Women Of The Moon, but no one from Cat-Women's production team played any part with making this movie. Not even the writer of Cat-Women Of The Moon is credited with the writing. The story is very similar with four men (Richard Travis, Tommy Cook, Michael Whalen, and Gary Clarke of How To Make A Monster), and a woman (Cathy Downs of The Amazing Colossal Man, and Phantom From 10,000 Leagues) blasting off for the moon. Possible SPOILERS: This time two of the crew members are escaped convicts who are being forced to go along by the rocketship's creator. Also along is his assistant who became trapped with his girlfriend when the rocketship blasted off. Along the way the rocketship's creator dies, but while dying he shows the others a medallion. Upon landing on the moon the crew encounters rock creatures, and take refuge in a cave. Soon they are in the domain of the moon women, and learn there are no longer any moon men. The Lido (K.T. Stevens), ruler of the moon women, believes the assistant is the rocketship's creator, because he is the one possessing the medallion. The Lido personally knew the man who has died, but is now blind. Soon it is revealed the man is the assistant. There was a pre-arranged marriage between the rocketship's creator, and moon girl Alpha (Nina Bara.) Alpha wants to continue with the ceremony even after learning the man is the assistant. The moon maidens have telepathic powers, and there is a telepathic battle between The Lido and the evil Alpha. Alpha loses the battle but stabs the Lido in the back, and becomes the new Lido. She then sentences the girlfriend of the assistant to die by being the victim of a large spider, but the girlfriend is rescued when the men quickly escape. A helpful moon girl sets off a device that removes all the oxygen in the domain of the moon women, and all the moon women die. One more episode with the rock creatures leads the rougher of the two convicts into the sunlight, and he gets fried to the bone! Missile To The Moon contains average acting, and the special effects are average for the era in which the movie was made; with the exception of the rock creatures and large spider. The rock creatures look like spongy, foam rubber costumes, and the spider is a rather silly looking puppet. The music is effective, and is a nice touch. Obviously there is more plot in this movie than in Cat-Women Of The Moon, and a lot of it is plain silly. Why, oh why, were the two convicts hiding in a rocketship of all places? Well, this is what you get from Astor Pictures: Low-budget, campy fun for 1950's horror and science fiction fans.
