Review of Destination Moon (1950) by Alan W — 11 Mar 2008

Saw this movie on TV late one night, and being one of the first movies to take a serious look at going to the moon, it attempts to be as authentic as possible. Obviously this attempted authenticity is somewhat flawed as a result of this movie being made in 1950, some 19 years before the first lunar landing actually occurred, but in the movie's defense, science fiction isn't exactly based on current events.

Super cheese, but somehow classic in a way. "General, the next time you tell me you can get to the Moon, I'll believe you!" pretty much sums it up.
