dave s @RT68722908 Jul 20, 2022 The first half of From the Earth to the Moon actually has some pretty decent production values and performances, especially from veterans Joseph Cotten and George Sanders as rival scientists feuding over high-tech explosives developed during the American Civil War. While it all gets a bit dull and muddled, at least it's passable entertainment. Things go downhill considerably over the second half when they embark on their unlikely space mission, accompanied by an assistant and the daughter of one of the scientists. The space ship is absurd (even by Civil War standards!!) and the plot becomes ludicrous, embarrassing to the point that you almost have to just look away and long for the competent boredom of the first half.

Unfortunately halfway through production RKO studios went bankrupt and Warner which picked up the option slashed the budget and the second half falls flat. Too bad, would have been interesting to see what could have been. Even so, great cast and acting. See more Feb 15, 2014 A rare B sci-fi steampunk classic--helluva fun!!

See more Jun 24, 2013 George Sanders and Joseph Cotton do some slumming in the dull adaptation of the Jules Verne novel. The film should have taken a page out of the Ray Harryhausen playbook and remembered to make the film fanical and fun. See more Jun 22, 2013 "Men are always trading their lives for something."
