An American science fiction directed by Hollingsworth Morse.
A rocket hits the Earth and is traced to a moon. Rocky and crew are sent to investigate. They find that the moon has been taken over by a villain who has lied to the inhabitants.
This was very much like the other Rocky Jones film, so I will just elaborate on my previous post. The plot was very clearly communicated in both of them. There was never any doubt who was who, where they were or what they were doing. The relatively high quality video definitely helped in this. Usually science fiction sound effects from this era tend to be harsh and screechy, but that was not the case here. I would recommend these films to anyone looking for decent science fiction from the '50s. Another o.k. rating.
An American science fiction directed by Hollingsworth Morse.
A set of moons attached by an atmospheric belt enter a solar system and cause problems for the people there. After the narrow escape of a space station, the moons begin their collision course with another moon. The leader of the 3rd moon is hostile and is unwilling to accept outside help.
This was pretty hokey. The science ideas involved were absurd. Such is the way with '50s science fiction. Being part of a television series, the characters were already known to the audience and not developed in this film. The plot was dependant upon the absurd science ignorance of the 1950s. Production value seemed alright to me. The spaceships looked a little bit small and the landing and takeoff scenes could easily have been recycled. Overall, it was mildly amusing. I rate it o.k.
