[@allandavis8201]

Despite this film being made in 1959 (4 years before I was born) it carries a very important message, a message that is as, if not more-so, that no matter how clever and powerful we THINK we are there is always someone somewhere who is either just as clever and just as strong as us, maybe even more powerful than us, and I am not talking extraterrestrial beings (although that is a distinct possibility) I am talking about how, since WWII there has been a power struggle between the free world and the communists and their allies, a race for ultimate power and control of the earth and everyone and everything upon it, but we just seem to keep hurtling towards our own demise, on one hand you have politicians who play games of brinkmanship and on the other the military waiting to blow everything up, I have no doubt that on both sides of the divide there are the cooler heads that want peace and prosperity for all of us, and politicians that want to force the issue to its conclusion, likewise the military, top brass who want to be prepared for war but side with the cooler heads in government, and then the top brass who believe that if an ultimate weapon was invented that could destroy the enemy completely then that weapon should be used, just like the two opposing sides in this film, scientists versus military and who should find out “what’s inside” the military only thinking of how to weaponise WHATEVER it holds and the scientists who want to ascertain if it can be used with good intentions for the benefit of mankind. Perhaps one day when, or if, it happens (if it has not already happened), that we get a visit from another world we will see what happens, who will be top-dog, let’s face it if an alien race to turn up their technology will be far superior to our own, and if they come in peace we are more likely to try and destroy them rather than trying to understand them. @ 55:29 when the cosmonaut said “searching out new worlds” I expected him to carry on and say “and new civilisations, to boldly go where no one has gone before”, and when the cosmonaut was in Dr Sorensens laboratory turning on all the equipment the sounds, at least some of them were definitely Star Trek related, is it possible that Gene Roddenberry got some ideas from this film?. You have to laugh when the Sgt said “sorry sir I can’t let you out of my sight” as per his orders, but when they ran outside to search for cosmicman Dr Sorenson told the Sgt to check with all the guard posts he complied with uttering a word about his orders, yup, a classic boob by scriptwriters.

This is a low budget Si-Fi film, but they've done quite good with what they had. I find it interesting in most unexpected, and unusual way. way! Turn the subtitles on even if you don't need them. They read what is being said in different ways, sometimes using more sophisticated words, and sometimes less that what is being spoken. Subtitles are often terrible, but linguistically the ones used in this are very interesting, perhaps more so than the film. Since no on has mentioned it in the comments as far as I can see, Bruce Bennet also played Tarzan. Before he changed his name it was Herman Brix a famous athlete. He lived to be 100 years old.

Gwen Verdon had it. Sid Caesar had it and Tony Curtis was doused in it - as was Marilyn. the actress who played the Wicked Witch of the West had it, too. you don’t have to be a star.

You have not learned from the past. You keep on thinking the same old party line of the sheep. You're sticking with what has never worked, the things that deteriorate society into what we have now.

[@WhineNot]

Ah, humans. Being human. Tale as old as time. 🤦‍♀️

[@NetrunCX]

I hate it🤦🏾‍♂️

[@raymondwilliams2609]

That balloon looks like "Rover" from "The Prisoner" !

[@geralddadap1761]

Modern Terrans love and life affair with anything "off planet". Those crafts that crashed were an inspiration to movies like this

[@jerryprice5484]

What a hidden gem, rates right up there with Day the earth stood still.

[@kenschmidt6522]

Nice cars, especially the '56 Chevy convertible.

[@prestonforayter7747]

I saw something like that in Folsom California about a year ago. I didn't hear about anybody else seeing it.

[@GeneOlson]

@@robertcuratolo5339 The Cosmic Man was more like Karl the Tall White Alien, a German drone.

This was from 1959. Today we have them in the skies over NJ and other places.

Back when when people knew almost zero about space and discovered radio waves and antenna...lol ! He says, "People think I should drop a bomb on that sphere." 😮 The old movies were so predictabl. I watched until the end. You know Cosmic man is going to heal the boy!

[@geoffreylee5199]

The Asylum studios would be the right studio to do a remake of this.

[@timdulle5189]

doh!

[@mickymaxwell992]

That's the biggest gumball I've ever seen. A matter of fact, I think it might be A jaw breaker.😂😂😂😂

Sci-fi movies never scared me as a kid. I loved them all cause of the special effects used and the costumes.👹👻👾🤖💀

[@donaldboyer8182]

Back in the day most sci-fi movies were like and they scared the hell out people.. If they saw a sci-fi movie from today most of them would die of terror. Come a long way baby. Cheezy doesn't come close.

45:52 -- "If left alone, those particles should vibrate with a constant amplitude and frequency of six minus forever, right?" Six minus forever?!? Wow, that's FAST! (Good thing I studied advanced math in school, or I wouldn't even know what that means.)

[@CultCinemaClassics]

[@robertcuratolo5339]

😆 Let me understand this some kind of sphere travels here and only 1 man is guarding it....while some silhouette figure is peeking through windows so they call out the Marines. 😂 26:22

[@-oiiio-3993]

Low budget.

[@petronelagafita9658]

Il profilo di CCC e il tempismo con cui appare a fine film fa abbastanza sorridere 😅😂

[@marksamuelsen2750]

I Concur with Your Assessment and Believe That Before I Die WeThePeople Are Going to Get The Answers We Have Been Looking For Since The 1960’s. At Least I Kinda Have Thought That For DECADES.😊
