12 to the Moon | Full Sci-Fi Movie | Ken Clark | Michi Kobi | Tom Conway 

I'm 70 and understand what you are saying. But its nice to see these old movies.

66 years young here and yup, today I see a ton of faults and other issues but what the hack, they did not have CGI back then and few real hard facts to work with. Yeah, time and knowledge changes things. I grew up working on vacuum tube circuits and now the chips are way to complicated for me to follow. Anyway, a fun and interesting movie to watch in this day and age.

I'm 74, and this movie kept me at the edge of my wheelchair.

Perhaps you were in Veitnam when i was 12 as i watched lost in space and star trek... i dont rember seeing this show , i thought i saw all the good ones .. its prity good .. i injoyed it as the freezing -0°+> windychills -37 out side today .. in ks.

I was minus 23 when this came out and totally agree with you. Merry Christmas young man.

That's awesome!

Yeah... back when Star Wars was still Star Wars, eh? 😁

@@therant3837 the first Four Star Wars were the best nothing can touch them .....

@@davekirby7790 Darn Skippies with Welches! I couldn't agree with you more!

Always more on the way! Glad you enjoy it.

I remember watching the first hour or so of so many great movies like this but then it was "off to bed, aw just 5 more minutes please Mum. Bed, Your mean, I don't love you anymore."

in a time of constant political and psychological media.... this old movie of international co-operation and strife in doing something united is a good morale boost and focuses me on real engineering physics.... todays movies often BLUR rational and irrational.... this movie had little of the spiritual irrationality BUT did exhibit FAITH as well as Technological know how and competence. Very simplistic and not overly Psych counselor Pavlovianism that leads to politics and psycholgy murky sulleness that detracts from the goals of co-operation.

there is nothing wrong with these old movies I love them ...watch them all the time thats why I am a fan of Svengoooglie on Saturday nights.....

Wow ! Are you sure ?

A very witty remark!

Conspiracy theory!!!😮

I believe they went!! To infinity and beyond !!!

What was your first clue?

@williamopalewski651. Stanley Kubrick also used existing chairs in “2001”. In the scenes aboard the space station.

🤔🤔🤔🙃🤖

Actually, on the first US crewed spaceflights, the astronauts had a blood pressure cuff built-in to the spacesuit to take their blood pressure, and a thermometer stuck up their butts to measure body temperatures. Not too glamorous.

It's like any one can do 😂😂😂

They still do

Don't be an asshole

That was some quick thinking on the set there, how to explain these used helmets they got with no face plates :) Should get one of those for my motorcycle :)

They sure loved using the word "magnetic" to describe most sci-fi equipment in this movie. lol

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, the fact a screenwriter probably goofed that up and didn't realize the last name wasn't accurate at this time isn't a huge problem as the fact they included a black scientist from an Africa nation in a movie of this time period is impressive enough. I wonder if this had any influence on Roddenberry having such a diverse crew for Star Trek.

The lack of racism and reduced sexism was astonishing, but when his first speaking part was when they called out to B deck had me going at first.

I am not impressed at all

I thought he was supposed to e an Egyptian Muslim. He did mention Allah a couple of times

the Turkish man said Allah a few times and then went off with the Swedish woman.... in an attempt to bring east and west together after WW2 and the geo political strife of the day.

I was thinking the same thing...strange though...I didn't think that type of reclining lawn chair came out til the late 70s...

@@barrybarber4924those lawn chairs were futuristic, I love these old movies !

@@barrybarber4924 No, we had one that was almost identical, and it dated to at least 1965.

Lawn chairs to the untrained eye. However, they were special space seating systems.

ya and a tv with shows

A.D. Universal North maybe?

Yes, in the little rocket they had a navy compass and a plane artificial horizon !

pointing to heaven right

@@adad-nerari4117 and they toasted toast in it to

Movie was more real though.

Is the first man on the moon ws Neil Armstong ??? I heard it was a fake movie by the US gov because the USSR , before, did a human in a space trip around the earth before them ...

12 men did walk on the moon but 2 at a time not all at once.

@@iankirk3537 and few drove a car there without a licence !

@@MirunaIordachescu It was not on a public road and I don't think they have traffic laws on the Moon yet.

I'm impressed they didn't kill off the African dude.

Also the gravity in space even without a revolving section of the ship to provide centrifugal force.

They explained that in place of a glass faceplate they use a invisible magnetic shield on their helmets.

Refer to 25:41. The helmets have invisible electromagnetic ray screens. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

@@georgehenderson7783 their ship is a constant boost ship flipping over halfway to slow down as they approached the Moon 🤔☮️

It's just VERY clear

Nothing campy or goofy about it.

​@@jamesbrice6619 ultimately liberating ❤

Yep noticed that also...how funny

Ed Wood was thinking the same thing.

Saw that also, held to the wall via electrical conduit straps. :-)

🤣😂🤣

So true, I love the optimism and willingness to explore

@@littlefishy6316 🙂👍

Did they? Or were they impelled to pretnd they did for political reasons?

@@dawnemile7499 dont bother you are getting boring pushing rubbish uphill for a living

TaHa! Only without any gratuitous nude flashes. :( But the next scene with Mimi the cat - convince me that is not a taxidermed cat in a plastic box - it don't move at al! LOL!

Just ask Dr. Who, he did it with a British Call Box and it travels through time and space

@@55Quirll l was thinking the same thing👍

@@55Quirll That's right. And he didn't need a 'G' suit, lawn chair, or a funny looking helmet either.

@@Bubba22able Nope, just a simple chair and off he goes, his companions were quite attractive too 👍

We can poke SO many holes in this movie..geez.

This film was gay!

@@Jeff-kd8sc Hush piglet...nooooobody wants to hear you squeal. goooood widdle piglet...GOOD GIRRRL!!!

They entered the lunar tunnel of love .

@@Jeff-kd8scNah, dude! It was totally hetero. Not that there’s anything wrong it.

Sure it's not "Scott, M"?!

great read

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@TheStream yes I did! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

I agree, a little break from the real (messed up) world was just what I needed todsy

Well, they trusted but still had to verify.

I wish i KNEW YOUR REAL NAME AND WHERE YOU ARE

Let's not forget the conduit clamps holding them to the wall. A must have for those high G takeoffs.

45:55 "could it be Chinese?" They ask...and then the woman with a japanese name is asked to translate!

Hay it's Siskel & Ebert

I also had one of those in my darkroom --which was actually the basement washroom. They tended to be standard spaceship equipment in lots of movies. The best ones were just sitting on an old Steelcase office desk. This movie at least mounted it on a wall.

With "invisible electromagnetic ray-screens". I want one of them!

Partial pressure suits and helmets. the tubes across the limbs and back inflate to squeeze the suit around the individual to provide counterpressure to the body. When worn by pilots in real life, there was a coverall type garment over the PPS as an anti-snag cover.

His Cybertruck is pretty pointy. I suspect he will send one to orbit Mars.

Not sure, I think I read somewhere that these B movies sometimes preferred to use cheap helmets without glass or plastic visors - in the movie itself explaining that an invisible magnetic shield protected the wearer from vacuum or poisonous atmospheres.

Jajajaja 🤣 👌

Worse, 4 years earlier we had Forbidden Planet!

Yes to the two comments both films which every other films in the sifi world is judged against.

A creative masterpiece! No, not 2001, this movie.

Only 9 years later we did land on the moon - but not with atomic power

@@Allegheny500 Forbidden Planet is a Classic.

True, but gas was a lot cheaper back then.

@@origamimambo545 But not lighter.

@@bme7491 It was a JOKE my friend.

No need to be so priggish. 1960 was a very different time in cinema, as well as culturally. Movie makers didn't command the budgets or have the technology that exists now, nor the extra 60 years of moviemaking experience (despite the amount of nonsense that gets produced now.) And just like the Star Wars franchise, they weren't teaching a science class--they were just doing entertainment.

@@charlesfaure1189 Thanks Captain Obvious.

Don't be so full of yourself

The cat people have been here for centuries...🐱🐱🐱

...analog sonar AND radar screens, liquid compass (HAH)! Oh, and that's popcorn they're dodging...WATCH Out!!!

@@Cracktaculus Only analog modular synthesizers with patch cables are missing...

You're so right. The producer had the set director bring everything, not nailed down, to his house to use in the set.

Dont forget the darkroom timers !

And they take their helmets off faster than a teenager forgets to put on a condom. Oh and among the equipment they took to the lunar surface is... a box, and another box... and a two-inch mortar with explosive shells obviously. This movie is pure gold - like that huge lump of gold that the science guy throws over his shoulder in disgust.

Very much so. FP benefits from not trying to explain its (soft) science in 1956 terms, it just shows it in action and moves on. While it still feels a little dated in spots (eg the all-male crew, the lack of personal electronics) the spectacle and fairly high concept script makes it pretty timeless.

Don't be so uneducated and childish. Not only was this film absolutely rubbish in all terms of scientific accuracy, but the acting is poor, to say the least. There is nothing scientifically accurate whatsoever. You are, obviously, American, suffering the results of your poor Education system.

@@susanlodges48 Not sure which movie you were referring to. but you come across as somewhat arrogant - as for my nationality guess again.

Who cares??

I gauge them on whether they have monitors or not Like even in the 1960's Batman series they have a computer that takes up half the Batcave but no real monitor You had a Russian SciFi movie maker director from the 1950/1960 (?) and he seems to have been one of the first to use what we know today as a monitor This film wasn't too bad, at one point they used a TV

Don't forget the the dog isn't in a cage or chained up, just sitting and looking confused 🤔😕

Where is my moon kitten 😺

"Fifteen hundred miles "ABOVE the Earth" Well, as Einstein would say... All is relative. As for the "meteors" Well, the American Favourite pastime Was ten pin bowling... But where are the... PINS?!?!?!

love all the crazy in this movie, easier to take than what is happpening in real life

@@hayleymanchios8908 Yes, I agree. Movies like this are very entertaining and make life easier to deal with.

A valid point. (Although, I think a little more scientific believability would have helped - so as not to detract from this.)

Dog is coal mine canaries

Better than "Star Trek" - in the multinational department, at least.

Thanks for watching!

LOL! Even if they lost 3 of the crew it'd still seem ok when they got back to Earth. Unless they had those two cops do a headcount or something.

There was nothing silly about it.

@@jamesbrice6619Those rocket capsule lawn chairs were silly.

@sockmonkey22 no sillier than the office chairs they used aboard the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek. If you can't get past petty details such as that, you have no imagination

Glad you enjoyed

Go watch the SN15 launch and landing and you'll see that One day is happening now.

The USA have Already been to The surface of the Moon Several times Apollo 11 thru 17

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@johncraig3948 Agreed... but I think we both know what "RAREFORMDESIGNS" is referencing!

Badly. It might be possible to design a magnetic compass sensitive enough to react to Luna's very weak magnetic field, but that field isn't dipolar so even then which way the needle would point would be pretty arbitrary, changing direction as you moved. Now, go walking around Ganymede and you're golden. Nice strong, steady field there with two proper poles. Might get a little fluctuation from interactions with Jupiter's own overwhelming magnetic field, but still way more useful than on Luna.

very carefully

You calibrate it with dowsing rods.

They were both great movies.

@@RAREFORMDESIGNS EXCEPT this this is the only fictional one.

Hi Karlisa! I just wanted to say I very much enjoy reading posts from different countries, because English isn't your first language, and so you speak so much more formally and beautifully than native speakers. You almost sound like a poet! Greetings from Detroit, Michigan, the Motor City!

Man's behavior from our past shows that without removing prejudiced jealousy greed and a boatload of other negative attitudes this can never be accomplished and in a way it is a very costly Endeavor with very little to show for we need start with our home here on Earth and work on what we know we need to accomplish here such as not ruining the Earth with what we know is happening now man would just go to space or other planets and ruin those eventually our true commander in chief Christ Jesus intends to clean house soon because what good is being righteous if the wicked continue to harm and ruin for those who want to seek meekness and neighborly love Jesus spoke of this when he preached on Earth about the "Good News" it represents for our time today Psalms 37:11,29 speaks of the meek shall inherit the earth till time indefinite an abundance of peace proverbs 2:21 also Matthew 5:5 only our Heavenly Father can read our hearts so he knows who has to be removed for the sake of others to live in peace the Bible brings this out for our future ahead we all have to make our minds over and choose you cannot serve two masters all the answers are in the Bible our human guidebook from our Creator to study and come to know his will and what's in store for his human children it shows our past our present and our future ahead but it must be studied not just look up a few scriptures

Love the oldies too. We are telling how old we are lol.

@@billydickens3039 boy have you got that one….lmao

There will be 🪲 s😱😉☮️

Why not that makes no sense at all..

A nice surprise. And he is said to be born in Poland, so it refers to the horrors of the holocaust.

@@kaeufer I like the fact that the Japanese astronaut is the ship's pharmacist.

Yeah, but other than that . . . .

Our science there were no pictures this was the future I grew up in the 1950s.

Meteor storms are known and we wouldn't launch a ship into an incoming meteor storm.

Does anyone else think the navigator looks like Neil Degrasse Tyson?

I suppose you are an expert

Oh no, there are cats? Maybe I have to watch this.

I want to know how the breeding experiment turned out? What happened with the space kittens?

et il se leve en plein decollage , jaime bcp ses vieux films mais la il exagere

mon film préféré c'est planète interdite

They have an invisible magnetic field instead of a face shield. One of the crew said so.

@@bobbailey7024 Yes, Ruskin said so around 25:30.

Jagmarc They don’t even have “spacesuits”. They have g-suits

Да как то странно у американцев все получилось... создали ракету сатурн, а потом в 80-х забыли как ее делать... Браун к тому времени уже почил.... ни технологий ни спецов ни чего не сохранилось...

That's easy for you to say!

Our pleasure!

Maybe it was "oops, darn!" Stumbling face first to the ground so they edited it out...

Good point! (It occurred to me, too.)
