"Conquest of Space"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Reading in my recently posted "2001:..." trivia that Kubrick and Clarke watched "Conquest..." a number of times caused me to dig out my DVD and give it a run trhrough last night after the Red Sox victory.
"Conquest of Space" is one of the first sci fi films to treat space exploration realisticly, insofar as what was known at that time. Parts are a little ridiculous (building a ship that is supposed to go to the Moon and at the last minute heading it toward Mars) but the hardware is very well executed and the s-pecial effects very well done. One of the best fifties sci fi outings and only recently available on DVD. Surprisingly, anamorphic wide screen as well.
