A really good movie from a different time. It promoted accepting a certain level of risk, delving into the unknown, being honorable & ethical, and left the viewer with a good feeling. Yes, the special effects guys had to actually be creative and not just buy the latest CGI (Cartoon Grade Imagery) package. Think about the lack of violence, gore, vulgarity, skin, and sexual intercourse. Doesn't it just feel good that they can make movie without it?!? Yes, the female lead's short skirt & great gams were probably risque in 1953. Brief synopsis: Jupiter's moon Fornax, 'uninhabitable', shoots a crystal rocket at earth. Rocky & crew spring into action to save the earth. Mistrust, dishonesty, & betrayal feed the drama but 'good will out' in the end and mutual interplanetary trade results. Enjoy with the family!
