In his quest for fame and success, Ismail, a driver for a newspaper company, tries to take some unauthorized photographs of the inside of a German rocket undergoing a technical test. He accidentally launches the rocket into space, taking with him Dr Sharvin, the German scientist who built the rocket, and Ahmad Rushdi, an Egyptian meteorologist. When their rocket somehow manages to land upon the moon, the three hapless space travelers meet Dr Cosmo and learn of the intelligent life that once inhabited the moon but which was all but annihilated by a nuclear war. After Rushdi falls in love with one of the moon girls, they all decide to return to earth but lack enough fuel for the trip and so have to venture to the foreboding far side of the moon to obtain some 'atomic petrol.' Will the crew ever return to the earth?

Journey to the Moon Audience Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
xylonax It's a good time if you don't take it too seriously.
henri sauvage Since I don't speak Arabic, and the film wasn't subtitled, you'll have to excuse me if I may have missed some of the subtler points about "Journey to the Moon". Nonetheless, I believe I've caught the gist of the thing. It's basically a remake of "Cat Women of the Moon" featuring entirely too much of the antics of famous comedian Ismail Yassin. This guy makes Jerry Lewis (when he was teamed with Dean Martin) look positively dignified, although it gives you some idea of how exponentially more annoying Lewis would have been if he'd delivered his lines in Arabic. And if his entire shtick were to consist of doing something idiotic and then blubbering interminably about it. It took only about ten minutes before I wanted to see this man-child offed, preferably painfully.Otherwise, the film is standard stuff: Astronauts go to the Moon, where they find a bevy of stunning young women who -- judging from their costumes -- while away the lonely hours playing tennis. (All their men seem to have been killed or horribly maimed in some silly old war.) The romantic lead falls in love with one of the moon-ladies, there's some complications and a robot, and then everyone goes back to the Earth.Of some slight interest, if your hobby is obscure sci-fi flicks.
