Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

mark.waltz Thank goodness that this was not in smell-o-vision. I would have to have had a close pin on my nose. This ranks as one of the lamest movies of all time let alone probably the worst remakes of all time. The original version, Catwoman on the moon, is one of the worst films ever made, and to find out that there was a remake made just five years later,I rolled my eyes even before the film started. Well not entirely a duplicate of the original, this has elements that make it believe it or not even worse.Giant rocks that walk, a hideous looking spider the size of an elephant and an aging queen fighting to keep her throne are among the ridiculous elements of this wretched piece of science fiction. The women who live on the moon look as if they are living inside a Mardi Gras Festival, with K.T. Stevens as the Lido aka queen of the moon women. She has a rival to the throne in her assistant Alpha who defies her at every turn in her efforts to take over. The visitors from Earth includes two escaped convicts and several scientists who kick off accidentally from earth and end up on the moon which remarkably looks like a desert. All of a sudden, rocks break out of the formation, walking so slowly that there is no way they could ever catch up to those they are after. This monster as well as the spider ended up in that delicious 1982 spoof of bad science fiction/horror films, "It came from Hollywood", and in a way it was fun to find the film that I remembered the silly clips from.This just gets sillier and silly are as the movie goes on and I can't imagine driving audiences actually watching this without laughing or throwing things at the big screen. It is just so absurd. Yes the spider is gruesome looking and may give you the heebie jeebies, but the rock people are so stupid looking, like Teletubbies filmed in black and white. The acting is hideous, particularly by the space women and ranks up there with the worst performances of all time, although I did have sympathy for K.T. Stevens. In fact I would give this collectively the award for worst acting of the year, because everybody is so bad that I couldn't single just one person out. Veteran actress Stevens tries her best but you can see behind her character's apparent blindness in her own eyes that she was just thinking am I this desperate for a paycheck? Phony looking sets includes the earthlings looking out the cave palace window at supposed land which is really s bad drawing. So grab some popcorn, sit back and laugh. Because you are entering into what remains worse than even the stupidest of the early Star Trek episodes.

dbborroughs De-facto remake of Cat women of the Moon about a shipful of men who find a hidden civilization full of women on the moon. They also find some monsters.Classic 1950's scifi film has been raided for its footage numerous times over the years. Even if you haven't seen the whole film, there is a very good chance that you'll have seen at least some part of this film (I'd guess either the rock men or the giant spider). The complete film is rather silly but fun in a B-movie spoofy sort of away, except that the film isn't a spoof, this is the real deal. (Why see films like the Lost Skeleton of Cadavra when this is the real deal?) I like the film and its exactly the sort of fun nonsense that I like in my 1950's science fiction films. Is it the best film ever made? Absolutely not. But it is a fun throw back to a simpler time before we knew better, or if we did know better we could at least pretend we didn't for the sake of fun. Anyone wanting a bit of campy scifi fun is directed to this film.(To be honest I have no idea why any one would want to remake the even sillier Catwomen of the Moon, but I guess the producers figured that no one was ever going to day anything.)

MartinHafer This film involves five humans who go on a flight to the moon. Once there, they find a planet of nothing but women--angry, PMS-enraged women! And, to make matters worse, there are giant rock creatures, spiders and two of the crew members are crooks.Wow...you know this is going to be a terrible film when they are ripping off CAT-WOMEN OF THE MOON--especially since CAT-WOMEN is one of the worst films of the early 1950s! Now I don't know if MISSILE TO THE MOON was announced as a remake, but it certainly was and the number of similarities are too many to be a coincidence. Both involve a rocket trip to the moon. Both have a crew member who actually is being controlled by the Moon folks. Both moons are inhabited by super-unattractive "beauty queens" in spandex. Both have really stupid giant plastic spiders in the caves. Both have crews whose space suits are stolen. And, these are only a few of the similarities. So, they remade a bad movie and in a way that is no better than the wretched original! Wow, that has "must-see" written all over it!!One of the other horrible touches are a skeleton that clearly is from a science classroom (with the top of the skull sawed off)--even though it's supposed to belong to one of the dead crew members who you see die before your eyes. Another brilliant touch was using three completely different rockets as well as normal Earth gravity on the moon and inside the space ship throughout the trip. Nice attention to details, folks!Overall, this is a terrible film that only lovers of schlock cinema will enjoy. Others will probably find it pretty tedious.

reptilicus Richard Cunha did not direct many movies but the few he did give us are fantastic. You know right away you are in an alternate universe when you watch this one. Hero Richard Travis pulls back a curtain to give us a look at what is supposed to be a giant rocket way out in the background; but you can tell immediately that it is a wooden model just a few inches away! Oh it just gets better from there! Scientist Michael Whalen blasts off for the Moon with a makeshift crew of 2 escaped JD's (Gary Clarke of HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER fame and Tommy Cook of no particular fame at all). Mr. Travis and girlfriend Cathy Downs (former fiancée of THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN) go aboard just before blastoff and are unable to get off in time . . . does that mean they were shanghaied? Amazingly the extra weight does not affect fuel or oxygen consumption and apart from the obligatory meteor shower they reach the Moon with no problem. Remember to keep repeating "It's only a movie, only a movie, only a movie . . ."This is not the Moon of DESTINATION MOON, oh no! This Moon is inhabited by walking rocks that look like Gumby on steroids, a giant spider that looks like a puppet (well okay it IS a puppet but it's a darn mean looking puppet!) and a civilisation of beautiful women. They have a distinct problem though, they are running out of oxygen and must take off for another planet soon or else! They want the Earth people to show them how to build a rocket to carry them to safety. Meanwhile moon girl Alpha (Nina Bara) takes one look at Travis and decides she must have him for a mate and her unrequited love is more important than the survival of her own race. Talk about self absorbed!Is it art? No. Is it fun? You bet! The puppet spider had already been seen in the 3-D film CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON but Mr. Cunha's film is much more fun. The rock men are surprisingly good and the Moon girls are fabulous. Look closely for Leslie Parrish (Daisy Mae of L'IL ABNER fame) and Lisa Simone who would go on to meet THE GIANT GILA MONSTER among the lunar beauties.Amazing some TV prints cut the scenes of the spider claiming a victim and the climactic shot that shows why you should not go out in the sun while visiting the moon. Some DVD prints of this now Public Domain title offer the film uncut. Notice I said some, not all!
