ROCKETSHIP X-M 🎬 Exclusive Full Sci-Fi Movie Premiere 🎬 English HD 2022

[@clmyers999]

When the astronauts come up upon the martian lady that is lying down passed out from a fall, the martian lady is my grandmother Billie Lane. This is the only sci-fi she worked in. Most of the 100's of movies she worked in she was either in a dancing scene, as in chorus girl, gypsy dancers. She also did stunts, like riding double on horseback where she was actually backwards on the horse! My grandma was the coolest!

[@bzakie2]

Wow. Good on grandma.

[@saulchapnick1566]

And she went to Mars. How cool is that ?

The Martian woman in this picture is Sherry Moreland. Could she be your grandmother? Sherry played in a very few B pictures, and then became a real estate agent in Miami.

[@gerardosalazar161]

These great 50s Sci Fi movies must be watched and enjoyed without regard for scientific accuracy because they were made to entertain, not to teach.

[@abdul-kabiralegbe5660]

I find this one in particular impressive. 1950: this was before man made satellites and already a lot of the elements of actual space flight are touched on. The military style garb of the astronauts makes sense for the time. This is actually more interesting than some present day space travel movies, especially considering how much they got right back in 1950. I honestly didn't expect the movie to be this good, but damn.

[@Manorainjan]

What's the difference? Todays so called Sci Fi movies are also only made to entertain and not to teach. They contain all kinds of "magical" elements that are presented as science, like time travel, beaming, warp speed, parallel universes and "the force". It's all fairy tales.

[@bachtube11]

@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 I agree, even the design of the Rocketship looks more similar to Elons Starship. Mybe he has seen this film, but decided to name his Rocketship as Starship to avoid problems with patenting the name ;-) The start seqence was very convincing with the flames straight down, not awkward like the bended flames in flash Gordon Films ;-) b.t.w. to acheive flames straight down you simply have to rotate the rocket model by 180 degree so that its flame gose up, and of corse you have to rotate the camera the same angle to make it look like it stands up right in the film. They did that well, and that simple method did almost nobody else well, for some decades!

Very good acting with actors beginning their careers . The down side is some of the.dialog is sexist.

[@karlschulte9231]

In all these older space movies they got stuff wrong: 1. Some tech advisor is told to get a prop for commo, so buys high end receiver ( which he takes home afterward!). They plug mic into earphone jack and talk to earth. It has no transmit capability! All radio guys in audience are laughing. 2. Crew walks in cabin, usually without freefall effects. 3. Radio again, no time delay for radio going back to earth (a few seconds are reality , each way. To Mars it varies with Mars / Earth distance, but several minutes each way at min). 4. Most " space creatures are eith monsters or gorgeous girls in mini skirts long for earthmen! 5. No space suits, dressed in WW2 pilot jackets.

[@k1productions87]

Give "Destination Moon" a try. Its from the same era, but it addresses most of those points. 1. I can't speak for, as I am not an expert on radio, but 2. they not only show a crewman floating, but spend the rest of the trip in magnet boots, with a set that tilts so they can appear to be walking on walls and so forth. 3. they directly reference the radio delay when they reach the Moon. 4. no space creatures of any kind. 5. proper space suits Also, they get the moonscape fairly accurate for 1950, and even take the 1/6th Lunar Gravity into account.

Seems to be the 1950 B&W film now colourized. Interesting that way back then with much less advanced film and sound equipment, knowledge of technology and experienced in Scifi productions, these people made a film with an original storyline (some 12 years BEFORE President Kennedy's 'we choose to go to the moon' speech)., pretty decent acting, sound that let you hear the dialogue and lighting that let you see the action. Better than most I've seen on YT made in the last 20 years. Just goes to show that like everything else, the film industry has become crapolla.

The original Godxilla has to be a close second,it was an indirect result of atomic war

[@jacquelinebell6201]

Im thinking it was only a few years since Hiroshima and was probably still very fresh in their minds.

[@redfields5070]

Atomic war will never destroy all civilization on Earth.

Hey! They did good on magnetic shoes (implied?) and floating harmonica.

The receiver on hq desk, on right end, is a classic ShortwVe from Hallicrafter corp. One of the best of the time. They had a real matching transmitter too. Kudu's to the tech advisor.

Gotta have Morris Ankrum in these old sci-fi's. And never seen Lloyd Bridge when he was so young before.

There's a classic rock climb in Eldorado Canyon (CO) named after this movie. True story.

I remember this movie when I was a kid in the movie theater at the time I really didn't understand it of course now I do I'm 83 now it wasn't a great movie but it was a good movie at the time and it was in black and white they added color which made it a kind of little better I think

[@dianeknight4839]
