1950s The Golden Age of Science Fiction Movies (PART 2) 

@redraven4177 Thank you for your comment. Destination Moon is an interesting one. Absolutely fantastic movie, but like I mentioned in the video, what makes it exceptional are also the factors that, unfortunately, make it under appreciated. But if you can see it for what its worth, and appreciate the direction it was going, it was truly a marvel of cinema history. This is one of the classic Sci-Fi films that should be top of mind to people just like Forbidden Planet, and The War of the Worlds are. Excellent comment and a great discussion point. Thank you so much. And stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi to come. Have a great day. Mike

@jamesabernethy7896 Thank you for your comment, and welcome back to the channel. I'm with you. I myself am a child of the 70s-80s and saw all of these classic movies when I was growing up on the Saturday Afternoon Creature Feature, and the Saturday late night Chiller theater. But they are so memorable. I guess when I look at this era, and you realize what these producers had to work with, be it budget, or just an overall lack of technology available at the time to create effects, and then they turn around and get extremely creative and make movies, that are not only still memorable today but quite often remade for modern audiences. It is really an extraordinary achievement. We hope you enjoyed our video, and stay tuned, Part Three, the conclusion to the series is coming soon. Have a great day. Mike

@cgrable8342 Thank you for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. And, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. There is one left in this series we are doing, and that one should be posted shortly. I understand why film makers today go back to the well on successful movies and series. Money. And sometimes it works. Most of the time, at least to me, it feels like a retread. At least with the 50s movies, you could see the original thought going on. In my opinion, I have always felt that the creative minds in the 50s really had to focus more on telling a compelling story, since the effects really weren't there. But also, the films weren't there either to rehash ideas like they are today. There are still some really good stories that get told today, but not nearly as high of a percentage as it was in the 50s. Again thank you for your comment, and stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi to come. Have a great Day. Mike

It exists now.🚀

@SerpentNight Thank you for your comment, and I hope you enjoyed our video. There is one left in the series, and that should be posted very soon. There was defiantly a common theme going one with the 50s Sci-Fi movies. And you are right, the actual moon landing(s) looked a lot different. The NASA rover landing on Mars look even more different than that. But I agree, they are still fun to watch. Thank you again for your comment, it is greatly appreciated. And stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi to come. Have a great day. Mike

@jonathanmartin-ives8665 What is happening my friend? Welcome back to the channel. Wouldn't that be interesting. But who knows what the future may hold. 3D caught on in the 50s and 60s, but then went away for a while until the advent of the IMAX theater, then it seemed like every movie that was being released you could catch in IMAX 3D. So Smell-O-Vision could very possibly make a comeback down the road. Thank you for your comment, and stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi on the way. Mike

@billmiller2522 Thank you for your comment and I hope you enjoyed our video. I got hung up on that one. I've actually never seen that Jackie Gleason movie, and I focused more on Gleason himself than the the title. But great catch. And thank you for pointing it out to me. I find comments like this very helpful. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and stay tuned, Part Three, the conclusion is coming soon. Have a great day. Mike

@@scifiandmore I am enjoying your channel. Keep it coming!

@user-rq7el8nh6q Thank you for your comment, and I am glad you are enjoying the channel. I am always up for suggestions, so if there is a topic you would like me to tackle, please let me know and I will do my best to get it covered. Thank you again for your comment, and stay tuned, there is more Sci-Fi to come. Have a great day. Mike

@MalachiWhite-tw7hl Thank you four comment, it is greatly appreciated. Your comment could not be more accurate. Going to the movies for me was always one of the highlights of my life. Anymore I just watch movies at home. But I would love to start going back. But the prices are out of control, the movies, to your point, are pretty forgettable, and you just don't feel the experience anymore like you used to. And I wasn't around in the 50's. But even from the late 70's and 80's when I was in the movie theater quite a lot, the atmosphere of the theater has changed dramatically. Or maybe its just me getting older and out of touch. But it sure seemed liked weather it was enhancements to the theaters, or improvements to the drive in theaters, the owners in the 1950s really put the effort in to make patrons want to come back. Excellent comment, and thank you for checking out our video. And stay tuned, Part three and the conclusion to our series is coming soon. Have a great day. Mike

@@scifiandmore Thanks for the kind response. I miss drive-ins as well-- they are few in number compared to say, 1960.
