[user6971it]

the quality of this sci fi classic is amazing almost hd,and the sfx for the time is very good,i did cringe at the scene whare the men are watching the film

[MrEjidorie]

In Sergeant Imoto's statement to volunteer to go to Mars, he said that Japan chose to fight a terrible war because of Japan's poverty, and Japanese had to use chopsticks and live in rice paper houses. But, as a Japanese citizen, I have to say that this is a culturally biased opinion. In fact, Japanese economy is third largest in the world today, and we are no longer poor people, but we still use chopsticks and live in rice paper houses. But, anyway, I love this scene very much.

[LadyDeirdre]

@MrEjidorie Remember when this was made. Japan at the time was both resource poor, and really bad at cooperating with other countries.

Why artificial gravity not caused by ships acceleration??

[Killersfrombeyond]

Epic.

[SenorZorrozzz]

However, when in doubt, turn your ship over to Gil Favor.

[SenorZorrozzz]

The general was going batty long before they showed him readingthe bible.

[Destr360]

good movie

[AdrianMuravey]

33:00 - "Well, sir... weeeeeeell I'd hate to see everyone eat with chopsticks so... CHECK!"

Brilliant! :D

[ichifish]

Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it. All you spacemen watch out for the religious nuts!

[Midsomercounty]

Thanks so much for posting. This is a little gem in the fifties sci-fi-genre indeed. The picture quality is actually really stunning, looks like HD. Great work.

[Blahblobify]

@Midsomercounty

Yeah I was 5 years old when this came out, it's one of my earliest movie memories, and I was riveted throughout the movie. The funeral scene in space really affected me.

[imsixftsix]

I never expected to see Rosemary Clooney in space...

[eottoe2001]

Simulations of earth are actually pretty good. Think of the ones in Star Trek and look at the ones here. They could use more clouds but have seen some video ISS that look like some of the earth shots. Thanks for the post.

[vanzemljak]

gloomy music / darn masculine voice / sick plot is all I need this snow covered sunday morning

thank you

[thinlizzy369]

this is boss!

[Cassavius]

Thank you...

[TEARFROST]

as much as i hate to kick a dead space man....THANK YOU 4 posting!!!

[mvies77]

Great movie for 1955. Kubrik stole the space station. At this time absolutely none of the things that relate to later achievements were even being considered. The script writer had a great vision of the future. Sets and acting typical for 1955 B SciFi movie. Thanks!

[38KDF]

0:42:47 " We'll have no unnecessary floating aboard this ship" the budget wont allow it!

[joeviking61]

Awsome movie, thanks for posting.

[hirammag]

cool video.

[wildhellion1]

Great video for its time, much better than that syfy shit , much better! 12 out 12 stars!

[cphstreet]

They smoke in space?

[muzzlevel]

puts me back in comfort zone, never get tired of this film, I thought life like this would be commonplace in 2000 AD as i grew up ? Ah well here"s to the future

[nthib91]

Why would they go to Mars and skip the moon, though?

[3edcvfr43edcvfr4]

@nthib91 Becasue the original plan was to land on Mars and the Moon trip was just a test flight. They decided to skip the test and execute the original plan

[nthib91]

@3edcvfr43edcvfr4 Thank you.

[nthib91]

for (what is this 1955?) this is actually really good considering no human (not even a satellite had been into space yet)!

[nthib91]

space fatigue? lol. good thing that doesn't really exist...

[demonhorizon]

Awesome



[jairollaobay]

How can I download this video?

[NederlandsFalen]

@jairollaobay google & try DownloadHelper! great plugin

[bryanttillman]

Fine Classic. Better than most the crap on the SyFy channel. You get a pre-2001 vibe from everything. Oh, and I love the Mars Ship...I shouldn't say this, but I think its cooler than Fireball XL-5. The wing area is just about right for the real mars...they really tried to design everything right. Bonestell and Ley are serious analists.

[whitebird77]

Not bad, quite interesting.

[untaco]

GOOD movie!

[stevekretscher]

"Why I oughta...

[cheesecake1932]

"ya two timin' tomata!"

[DavidWedemire]

It's quite well done for 1955. The acting is par for the course for the time.

[afusake]

34:10 i have exact same plasma tv

[CureALStoday]

Love Eric Fleming! Really enjoyed this :)

[patp464]

Really enjoyed this movie. It was quite authentic. The characters were well done as they might actually be in such a journey to Mars. I think the Sarge was just really blowing off steam. Afterall his best friend was dead. I didn't think he'd actually go through with the Courts-Martial. And, in reality, it was a fitting tribute to General Maller as it should have been. Afterall, he got them there safely. Thanks for sharing this movie. A tribute to all astronauts.

[rnk1977]

aww, now i see where kubric got idea for circle space station above earth

[resculptit]

This General is obviously insane to be reading and believing in the mystics of religion.

[swmdal]

I especially enjoyed the part where the Japanese astronaut (an enlisted astronaut?) defends the justifications for World War II.

[johnchj]

Actualy quite forward looking.

[johnchj]

Great fun.

[twobluehorses]

Even for the times this was an incredibly badly written and poorly acted movie. The color, the sets and the music are fine but the rest of it is terrible.

[linkone11]

Wow, Eric Fleming from TV's Rawhide! I keep waiting for him to say "Head "'em up, move 'em out".

[mah9043]

tdفيلم رئع جدا واخراج ممتاز يستحق المشاهدة من الجمهور الكريم

[californiamarcos]

[twobluehorses]

@californiamarcos I looked. You don't

[ThePieffe63]

When i as 14 years old, a local TV station of my country (Italy), aired every sunday afternoon a science fiction movie. This was one of the first. Great memories!

[pele6922]

Wow it took all of 4 minutes before someone had to smoke

[skwuballo]

Worth watching as a perfect example of a bad movie... Pass the popcorn!!

[SuperMreeves]

Sweet old movie to bad they don't have the Imagination to make good movies like that know.

[hkurtblache]

takes me back...to my childhood... ...Saturday afternoon at the local movie house...o.25 to get in a double feature &cartoon o.15 for a popcorn...thanks for the memories!!!

[GintsDono]

Great movie. Thanks youtube for letting me see this piece. :)

[85alexpr]

14:43 he cums in his butt lol

[85alexpr]

nice acting

[LFSmad]

:))))))))) that's all i can say

[Sparrow9612]

The sound is a bit too low. Other than that I like this movie so far.

[orange70383]

I don't know.

[malinourn]

actually not so bad. The color sure does help
