I can’t criticize these movies using current values as opposed to of the 60’s. As a nerdy teenager i was just happy to get sci fi movies back then. As for scientific thought, it didn’t occur until post sputnik. I still have vivid memories of the launch of Sputnik and the kick it gave to education. Good movie for the time.

This was the kind of sci-fi I was used to as a kid, wit a few exceptions, until Star Trek premiered in 1966. With that, I became a Trekkie for life and started reading sci-fi instead of just watching B movies.

A year later Star Trek was first seen on TV. This movie illustrated Hollywood's idea of space science fiction at the time. It shows just how groundbreaking Star Trek was.
Since you brought it up, Star Trek was pretty stupid, as well. Its set-up and Assumptions were just as silly as those of this movie (or of such space-operas as 'Buck Rogers', 'Flash Gordon', and other serials). On Star Trek, we were shown that ~every~ 'planet' they visited had one (and only one) 'culture' (such as '30s Gangland World', 'Retired Greek Gods Planet', CroMagnon Patriots World, etc, etc). Turns out that Outer Space Exploration is no more or less than 'Sociology 101'..... Likewise, they all featured ONE climate ("It's a desert planet, Jim", "Tricorders show this Class M is entirely a primordeal jungle", etc). The ever-expanding (at 'light-speed', they say) universe never seemed to affect the borders of the Klingon, Romulan, and Starfleet empires, either, did it? The only real difference in Holly-wood's rendition of 'space' between, say, 'Rocky Jones, Space Ranger' and 'Star Trek' is that they took down the curtains....and added some swooshy doors. Groundbreaking? No; not so much......
@BrainEatingApe Well, even in the hit masonic allegory '2001', everybody in "zero gravity" still moved *slower* than 'normal' or 'high' gravity.....that's clearly the OPPOSITE of what physics demands. Think about it; less grav/resistance means ~faster~ movement, making your spacemen go ~slower~ because they're in 'outer space' is ridiculous. That realization is what cured a lot of people of believing in the NASA legend, too. They got it backwards, and now the portrayals of 'outer space' are stuck with it. Oops.......

tell your sister what memory's I had I remember WATCHEN it on sci fi theater at 230 I was seven years old. then Christmas time on creature feature. my first time sick with crupe cough. my mom had me breath in Vicks I was eight. I remember the light house ship and alien was so cool. we just lost Francine York. tell your sister she's well remembered
@@brandex2011 Even better, when they discover the elements are suitable for human life, the doctor declares "Earth people can live here!" - momentarily completely forgetting about the giant crabs hammering away on the hull, or the seaweed zombie that launched an unprovoked attack on their friend the moment he entered the water and crushed him to death.
My favorite "smile" about these 50's SciFi movies is their concept that future spaceships would be luxury liners with 'room for a swimming pool and a pony" (thank you Hyacinth from "Keeping up Appearances") and luxury furniture, instead of the cramped spaces they are turning out to be. Great, fun, entertaining way to spend a while. i found it funny when, at the end, she says, "The air is thin, but it's breathable! Earth people CAN live here!" Well, there are those 5-ton crabs that would appear to be capable of feeding a pretty large city, They will just have to be careful of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon"-or two, lol. TY for uploading.
90% of these old sci-fi films made it easy for wardrobe; All they needed were tons of gray flannel suits and military uniforms... and a few funky space suits!
I built the star drive for this ship back in the late 60s ,I used an old alternator some bailing twine and a stellar fermion higgs manipulation box aka a twinkie
I love when the captain is leaving the earth ship, he fires his spacesuit maneuvering jet inside the airlock and bangs right into the doorframe. Brilliant.
I love the fact that EVERYONE in a position of power (Captain, head crew staff, ETC) are over 40... these days films have 21 year olds who can barely tie their laces in those jobs and anyone over 30 is old and washed out!
Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins were the three astronauts who were a part of the Apollo 11 crew. All three were born in 1930, making Buzz Aldrin 39 and the others 38. (Edit: The Captain, James Brown was 45 when he made this movie.)
Close to the Triangulum Galaxy and a million miles off course sounds like pretty good navigation. Way less than 1 percent deviation. Even in the sixties this was understood as complete theatrical fantasy. I have seen recent movies with the same or worse tech errors. I really enjoyed the "meteorites" burning in space. I was in elementary school when we (students) picked this movie apart. We already knew solid state was coming. No boys complained about sultry Francine York. Also seen on Batman and Lost in space, Bewitched, It takes a thief. and many others. Just wanted to see if she was as nice as I remembered. Not disappointed. RIP Francine Yerich.
I didn't think the dialogue was great. When the lady scientist described the giant crabs as horrible creatures that was not how a professional scientist would react. Also the Captain should never have agreed to let the man who died on the crew. He didn't have a professional attitude to his job and his motivation for being on that flight was self serving. None of them seemed to have been vetted correctly for the job in hand.
I love these old movies. It's funny how they saw the future then. But I have to laugh even more about their concept (or lack of it) of astronomy. Even in 1965 we knew that other starts were light years away and galaxies were millions of light years distant. It's still fun to watch them.
This is truly a mid 1960s space movie,and one,that only American International could do so well! the sound effects that were used in this movie,later became heavily used in certain cartoon productions that Filmation Associates used,and also in other TV and movies.
And i might also mention,that there were some other sound effects,which were used in the TV series "SEARCH"(1972-73),which were regularly used in the background of this movie!
If you watched this movie to the end, then that says something about the movie, or something about you :-) Yes, I watched it till the end and enjoyed it, thanks for the upload.
I actually enjoyed this. I didn't expect much but parts of it I really enjoyed- the character development, the spaceships knobs and switches and claustrophobic effects... the curvy lady doctor, the undersea creature, and the overall pace made it all acceptable....It was made in 1965 yet has that 1957 feel, i guess that is why it's knocked, people expect more from a 65-er.
I actually prefer the 50s dynamic and aesthetic - the 60s were far too smarmy, gaudy, cock-sure and wantonly trippy. Casually 'Far out, man'. Damn, I hate the 60s vibe. Atompunk, yes - AustinPowers-punk, not so much thanks.
John was the first person from Earth 🌎 to get into a fight with something in space, and then repeated his first theme by fighting with something in the ocean on another planet. He had a busy week.

That was my grandfathers alien space ship. They boarded and killed him. We demand reparations from the humanoids for this injustice. Lunging at a human was our way of saying hello. Humans responded with murder! No justice, no peace!
Ronald McReynolds Excuse me? What is solid propellent rocket fuel if not chemical power? Or mixing liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen or kerosene? All combustion in rocket engines is based on chemical power.
Ronald Rowan Hey Ronald Rowan. Ok, two things, first off I was basically saying that mankind will never make it to the stars on chemical based engines, like most rockets today. it's too little power. Secondly, not ALL engines use chemical power, some for instance are ion propulsion now or nuclear and other types are not being tested for use. But if you say rockets are chemicals that is okay with me as long as you don't say all engines for space are rockets.
A good scene would have been they land on a planet occupied by aliens like the one in the spaceship they blew up. The aliens communicate and ask the astronauts, "Say, did you happen to run across one of our ships out there?"
that’s a great internet name you have . @ sirtalkalotdoolittle. i have read some of your replies/comments on other YTube videos . this SciFi movie is fertile grounds for comical comments because it’s so hokey. on a personal note you should occasionally do something even if it’s wrong , rather that doing little . apology’s for not addressing you as a Sir , Sir . 🤭
This movie seems to have been behind its own times. In just a few years Star Trek aired, then Space 1999, both of them so far ahead of the times and brilliant in concepts, acting, characterisation and FX.
This movie came out only a year before Star Trek premiered on TV. It makes you appreciate the revolutionary nature of Gene Rodenberry's vision. When you realize that movies like this represented the state of Hollywood space exploration sci-fi at the time.
FORBIDDEN PLANET came out the previous decade and was a pretty big influence on TREK, as was THIS ISLAND EARTH. . (Also the Czech film, IKARIE XB-1, a quite sophisticated story about a huge interplanetary space craft transporting a large contingent of space explorers on an epic voyage, pre-TREK....The film was dubbed---adequately--and released in the US as VOYAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS also pre-dates TREK and, in spite of the title, is a well-done, realistic depiction of survival on Mars by a stranded astronaut. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it. This film here is bottom of the barrel and wasn't considered representative of space exploration at the time. It was a joke then. But films like it got made because the studios rarely put any money into bigger, better SF, though there were some pretty notable exceptions. But, perhaps you know all this? Sorry if I've gone on a boring tangent here. Just trying to stick up for some of the brighter SF work that was being done prior to TREK.
@@RSEFX You said it all well, RSEFX! This junk was for the likkered up teenage drive in market niche. If there was merchandising it would have killed, financially
You're comparing apple to oranges. This movies was supposed to be the near future while Star Trek the distant future. Each show was written and filmed to fit those perspectives.
i just really dig these old black and white Sci Fi flicks from the 50' & 60's especially when i was a kid watching Science Fiction Theater on Channel 4 in the late 60's it was an prehistoric view of what space travel was to be like in the future
Love it, 60 watt bulb on the alien ship....slowest automatic doors in history......the space ship looks like something from Blue Peter......I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣
Yes this is one of my favorites. It was released long after the 1950s sci-fi and monster movie boom had ended by the early 1960s. Francine York was beautiful as always. The rest of the cast looked like they all came from Parma Ohio from the old WUAB Channel 43 studio.

They forgot the beer. Takes me back to the 70's at the beach in the fall, steamed crabs and lobster, grilled vegetables and an ice cold beer that's been sitting in the ice water cooler for 3 hours. Ahhh
This captain is priceless, After seeing monster crabs under water, he is astonished at the suggestion that there might be life on land. Captain? With an intelligence like that, he might be the ships rest room attendant. But not the captain!
Given the date of this film, you’d think they would have known to carry a supply of baking soda for the engine compartment in case they landed in water.
God I Love these Oldies ❤️ @5:34 ...So a day in the year 2000... 🙂 This is why I would much rather watch these B-movies over any of the garbage (like Marvel Universe PC culture, CGI infused 💩crap) that Hollywood is churning now-a-days. The only Good thing about this Chinese Virus forced lockdown, is that No More Hollyweird Trash is being made. We can sit back and watch films that were made in the New Golden Age of Cinema. (1950's - 60's & early 70's).
The astronomy & physics is outrageous. But the drama points of exploration & humanity are very optimistic visions of the early space age. I enjoyed it.
All I know is once those underwater ocean crabs appeared "menacing" the space craft, I'll I could think of was a crab cracker, a couple of lemon wedges and a real nice bottle of slightly chilled French Grand Cru Chablis to wash the crab meat down with! LOL

Love these old sci-fi flicks.
"Two billion light years of solar system"? Gee, Pluto is a lot farther away than I thought.
The secretary at Earth Control is my sister. She was 18 when she did that part :)
tell your sister what memory's I had I remember WATCHEN it on sci fi theater at 230 I was seven years old. then Christmas time on creature feature. my first time sick with crupe cough. my mom had me breath in Vicks I was eight. I remember the light house ship and alien was so cool. we just lost Francine York. tell your sister she's well remembered
WOW how come no type of cameras used to take pics of aliens and it's ship ?
ThePoetJaye yeah right
Phyllis Selznick? That's your sister? That's pretty cool.
Cutie !
This film has it all. Love, Action, Giant Crabs & a guest appearance from The Creature of The Black Lagoon.
They’re worried about giant crabs, but no one seems to care about the constant flow of bubbles leaving the ship.
@@brandex2011 Even better, when they discover the elements are suitable for human life, the doctor declares "Earth people can live here!" - momentarily completely forgetting about the giant crabs hammering away on the hull, or the seaweed zombie that launched an unprovoked attack on their friend the moment he entered the water and crushed him to death.
My favorite "smile" about these 50's SciFi movies is their concept that future spaceships would be luxury liners with 'room for a swimming pool and a pony" (thank you Hyacinth from "Keeping up Appearances") and luxury furniture, instead of the cramped spaces they are turning out to be. Great, fun, entertaining way to spend a while.
i found it funny when, at the end, she says, "The air is thin, but it's breathable! Earth people CAN live here!" Well, there are those 5-ton crabs that would appear to be capable of feeding a pretty large city, They will just have to be careful of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon"-or two, lol.
TY for uploading.
Thanks for smile re the Boo-kays. Cheers....
@@bazzer124 OH, good one! BAZINGA!

90% of these old sci-fi films made it easy for wardrobe; All they needed were tons of gray flannel suits and military uniforms... and a few funky space suits!
I built the star drive for this ship back in the late 60s ,I used an old alternator some bailing twine and a stellar fermion higgs manipulation box aka a twinkie
Nobody's idea of a good movie, but fun to watch.
Yeah, considering interplanetary travel, "Forbidden Planet" was the best. And "This Island Earth" was not bad.
this movie is fertile ground for some talented amateur joke writers/comedians . 🙃🙂
even men in outer space are disgustingly sexist .
Sincerely Stormy Daniels.
I had to laugh so hard. the doors open so slowly there is no way anyone can come in a hurry. LOL. Love these old B-movies.
did you notice how loud those door were?
Blame it on Boeing.@@Stewart1953
I love when the captain is leaving the earth ship, he fires his spacesuit maneuvering jet inside the airlock and bangs right into the doorframe. Brilliant.
Hell, that is exactly what my kid would have done.....
Don't you know anything space suit maneuvering jets? They're really difficult to use.,.!
I like that whoever designed the space ship made sure there was a department store armchair in the cockpit @3:18
I love the fact that EVERYONE in a position of power (Captain, head crew staff, ETC) are over 40... these days films have 21 year olds who can barely tie their laces in those jobs and anyone over 30 is old and washed out!
Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins were the three astronauts who were a part of the Apollo 11 crew. All three were born in 1930, making Buzz Aldrin 39 and the others 38.
(Edit: The Captain, James Brown was 45 when he made this movie.)

Close to the Triangulum Galaxy and a million miles off course sounds like pretty good navigation. Way less than 1 percent deviation.
Even in the sixties this was understood as complete theatrical fantasy.
I have seen recent movies with the same or worse tech errors.
I really enjoyed the "meteorites" burning in space.
I was in elementary school when we (students) picked this movie apart.
We already knew solid state was coming.
No boys complained about sultry Francine York.
Also seen on Batman and Lost in space, Bewitched, It takes a thief. and many others.
Just wanted to see if she was as nice as I remembered.
Not disappointed.
RIP Francine Yerich.
Right on ! Great picture

Remember, when you are travelling hundreds of miles through space, make sure you have a LazyBoy recliner!
If the writers were stoners , it would be bean bag chairs
You’re right!!

I like how they casually go into an unguarded, unsealed alien ship, encounter an alien and shoot it, then blow it up.
And the aliens never bother knocking on our door and asking what's up! Why did you shoot?
In space you wouldn't hear the gunshot or the other weird sounds
Destruct button in the beginning was sure easy to get to...lol.

"Rockets, ON!" Love it! Superb sci-fi B movie. Thanks for posting, svettnisse666

Francine York passed this last January , 2017 , she was 80 .
Insightful dialogue among the actors. These older movies had the greatest writers ! Creativity and imagination are at their best !!
I didn't think the dialogue was great. When the lady scientist described the giant crabs as horrible creatures that was not how a professional scientist would react. Also the Captain should never have agreed to let the man who died on the crew. He didn't have a professional attitude to his job and his motivation for being on that flight was self serving. None of them seemed to have been vetted correctly for the job in hand.
I agree 👍
" new power sources that will power their ships far beyond earth's universe" wow! that's some powerful shit!
Lol! I was thinking the same thing!
🤣
super duper shit
I love these old movies. It's funny how they saw the future then. But I have to laugh even more about their concept (or lack of it) of astronomy. Even in 1965 we knew that other starts were light years away and galaxies were millions of light years distant.
It's still fun to watch them.
The global elite control everything on this planet and know what they want. There isn't any surprise about that.
Yes it's thanks to this film we have start trek and start wars
And I can confirm andros 1 is a successful colony but I'm sick to death of crab pie everyday
This is truly a mid 1960s space movie,and one,that only American International could do so well! the sound effects that were used in this movie,later became heavily used
in certain cartoon productions that Filmation Associates used,and also in other TV and
movies.
And i might also mention,that there were some other sound effects,which were
used in the TV series "SEARCH"(1972-73),which were regularly used in the
background of this movie!
If you watched this movie to the end, then that says something about the movie, or something about you :-) Yes, I watched it till the end and enjoyed it, thanks for the upload.
is it bad that i've seen this 10 times already?
@@jonnyq680 nope cuz I've probably seen it just as much or more , I also have it on VHS 👌🏻
I actually enjoyed this. I didn't expect much but parts of it I really enjoyed- the character development, the spaceships knobs and switches and claustrophobic effects... the curvy lady doctor, the undersea creature, and the overall pace made it all acceptable....It was made in 1965 yet has that 1957 feel, i guess that is why it's knocked, people expect more from a 65-er.
Particularly when you think that only three years after this dodgy little piece of cinema , Stanley Kubrick released the daddy of sci-fi films
I actually prefer the 50s dynamic and aesthetic - the 60s were far too smarmy, gaudy, cock-sure and wantonly trippy. Casually 'Far out, man'. Damn, I hate the 60s vibe. Atompunk, yes - AustinPowers-punk, not so much thanks.
@@EnosEverything 2001 was NOT a good film.

The “curvy” lady doctor? You have no idea how destructive such stereotypes were to little girls, do you?
John was the first person from Earth 🌎 to get into a fight with something in space, and then repeated his first theme by fighting with something in the ocean on another planet. He had a busy week.
Good thing they were prepared for anything. You never know when you’ll need a wet suit and diving gear on a trip to outer space.
Hilarious!
great reply bro,so funny Ha Ha, i love old movies
What if you come to a planet or moon (or something) that has water on it. After all, that's what we seem to be hoping for - liquid we can drink, wash and swim in.
Or a gun and bomb.
Hahahahahaha😂
There are movies like this that are so much Worth watching ,,, there is so much more to discuss than bland cgi ,,,, and its the stuff of my youth that made me dream of otherworlds ,,, so what's the harm ,,,, and yes I do pop up all over the place ,,,

But they don't have Francine Yorke...🤪!
That was my grandfathers alien space ship. They boarded and killed him. We demand reparations from the humanoids for this injustice. Lunging at a human was our way of saying hello. Humans responded with murder! No justice, no peace!

From Earth to the stars, on chemical power. Not gonna happen.
Ronald McReynolds Excuse me? What is solid propellent rocket fuel if not chemical power? Or mixing liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen or kerosene? All combustion in rocket engines is based on chemical power.
Ronald Rowan Hey Ronald Rowan. Ok, two things, first off I was basically saying that mankind will never make it to the stars on chemical based engines, like most rockets today. it's too little power. Secondly, not ALL engines use chemical power, some for instance are ion propulsion now or nuclear and other types are not being tested for use. But if you say rockets are chemicals that is okay with me as long as you don't say all engines for space are rockets.
+Ronald Rowan canola oil
A good scene would have been they land on a planet occupied by aliens like the one in the spaceship they blew up. The aliens communicate and ask the astronauts, "Say, did you happen to run across one of our ships out there?"
and uhh did you bring the starbucks ?
I remember back in 2000 when they launched Hope 1. What a show!
that’s a great internet name you have . @ sirtalkalotdoolittle. i have read some of your replies/comments on other YTube videos . this SciFi movie is fertile grounds for comical comments because it’s so hokey. on a personal note you should occasionally do something even if it’s wrong , rather that doing little . apology’s for not addressing you as a Sir , Sir . 🤭
Some of these astronauts aren't very smart, they didn't even know what a crab is. LOL
Russ Bender, (the older crew member) ,who was in a ton of AIP films is listed as Russ FENDER in the credits. Off to a good start.
Should of been Lord Russ the Constipated in this film.
We loaned them our electric drill to make the special sound effects. It was a Sears and Roebuck. We never saw it again.
You know one of crew, probably a set builder had that at home and used it till it give out.
Pretty decent movie, considering it's budget. Good writing, acting, passable sets, and mostly good effects.
This movie seems to have been behind its own times. In just a few years Star Trek aired, then Space 1999, both of them so far ahead of the times and brilliant in concepts, acting, characterisation and FX.
As a fan of Space: 1999 since 1975 and Star Trek when it came out in 1966 I agree. However these old movies are still entertaining.
This movie came out only a year before Star Trek premiered on TV. It makes you appreciate the revolutionary nature of Gene Rodenberry's vision. When you realize that movies like this represented the state of Hollywood space exploration sci-fi at the time.
FORBIDDEN PLANET came out the previous decade and was a pretty big influence on TREK, as was THIS ISLAND EARTH. . (Also the Czech film, IKARIE XB-1, a quite sophisticated story about a huge interplanetary space craft transporting a large contingent of space explorers on an epic voyage, pre-TREK....The film was dubbed---adequately--and released in the US as VOYAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS also pre-dates TREK and, in spite of the title, is a well-done, realistic depiction of survival on Mars by a stranded astronaut. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it. This film here is bottom of the barrel and wasn't considered representative of space exploration at the time. It was a joke then. But films like it got made because the studios rarely put any money into bigger, better SF, though there were some pretty notable exceptions. But, perhaps you know all this? Sorry if I've gone on a boring tangent here. Just trying to stick up for some of the brighter SF work that was being done prior to TREK.
@@RSEFX You said it all well, RSEFX! This junk was for the likkered up teenage drive in market niche. If there was merchandising it would have killed, financially
V u
except the rampant misogyny of the original Star Trek.
You're comparing apple to oranges. This movies was supposed to be the near future while Star Trek the distant future. Each show was written and filmed to fit those perspectives.
i just really dig these old black and white Sci Fi flicks from the 50' & 60's especially when i was a kid watching Science Fiction Theater on Channel 4 in the late 60's it was an prehistoric view of what space travel was to be like in the future
Love all these old movies I grew up on
Love it, 60 watt bulb on the alien ship....slowest automatic doors in history......the space ship looks like something from Blue Peter......I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

The space woman want's respect too lol.
for a 1965 movie, I'd give it a 3 of 5 stars, just watching Francine York eyes as she just scanned around was a joy and worth watching.
She's cold and two-dimensional.
She kind of has a Jennifer Lawrence look. Could be her mom or grandma.
Thanks. Love these old B movies.
Andrea Andrews ...you look like a hot space lady yourself ..you...have any one back home?
this movie has every cliche in the book. I love it.
Love those old quirky SciFi movies.
Yes this is one of my favorites. It was released long after the 1950s sci-fi and monster movie boom had ended by the early 1960s. Francine York was beautiful as always. The rest of the cast looked like they all came from Parma Ohio from the old WUAB Channel 43 studio.
Yeah that was Saturdays with Superhost.
Whoha I am from Parma!
Ha! That one guy keeps shaking his chair after all the others have stopped.
58:30 - This was the highlight of my day. The dialogue was just perfect
Hank: “I’m setting the bomb for 10 minutes”. (Hmm, airlock and two doors to go through when I get back). “Correction, settling the bomb for 15 minutes”.

Pretty cool movie but did everyone notice that ordinary lightbulb shining just outside the door to the alien spaceship which two of our heroes entered near the beginning of the movie? It must have been a Motel 6 as I think their slogan is "We'll leave a light on for you". LOL.
The spaceship was so well designed, it included SONAR. That's some serious forethought there.

"This is Hope One calling Earth Control. I think we landed inside a goldfish bowl."
Hmm, I wonder what the crush depth is for a toy spaceship?
Given the date of this film, you’d think they would have known to carry a supply of baking soda for the engine compartment in case they landed in water.
With all the money they spent on this film surely someone could have bought a can of oil for that door.

The astronomy & physics is outrageous. But the drama points of exploration & humanity are very optimistic visions of the early space age. I enjoyed it.
The control room of their ship was pretty cool. The incandescent light bulb over the door of the alien spacecraft was very convincing.
The light's on, but nobody's home.
