The difference in sophistication between Kubrick's 2001 made in 1968 and this film made in 1965 is equivalent to the distance between Earth and Uranus.
What a movie, a trip to another galaxy in hours and then crash land on another planet, ships sinks into the ocean and the bloke trys calling Earth control and blames the lack of reply on metallic particles in the ocean. Brilliant science.
where there is one crab there’s usually many more close by. if i wrote the script for added horror i would have had the giant crabs eat all the men which would have eliminated the sexual tensions on Hope 1 .
A year later Star Trek was first seen on TV. This movie illustrated Hollywood's idea of space science fiction at the time. It shows just how groundbreaking Star Trek was.
Since you brought it up, Star Trek was pretty stupid, as well. Its set-up and Assumptions were just as silly as those of this movie (or of such space-operas as 'Buck Rogers', 'Flash Gordon', and other serials). On Star Trek, we were shown that ~every~ 'planet' they visited had one (and only one) 'culture' (such as '30s Gangland World', 'Retired Greek Gods Planet', CroMagnon Patriots World, etc, etc). Turns out that Outer Space Exploration is no more or less than 'Sociology 101'..... Likewise, they all featured ONE climate ("It's a desert planet, Jim", "Tricorders show this Class M is entirely a primordeal jungle", etc). The ever-expanding (at 'light-speed', they say) universe never seemed to affect the borders of the Klingon, Romulan, and Starfleet empires, either, did it? The only real difference in Holly-wood's rendition of 'space' between, say, 'Rocky Jones, Space Ranger' and 'Star Trek' is that they took down the curtains....and added some swooshy doors. Groundbreaking? No; not so much......
@BrainEatingApe Well, even in the hit masonic allegory '2001', everybody in "zero gravity" still moved *slower* than 'normal' or 'high' gravity.....that's clearly the OPPOSITE of what physics demands. Think about it; less grav/resistance means ~faster~ movement, making your spacemen go ~slower~ because they're in 'outer space' is ridiculous. That realization is what cured a lot of people of believing in the NASA legend, too. They got it backwards, and now the portrayals of 'outer space' are stuck with it. Oops.......

It was disappointing, to say the least, to see that the new show "NASA Presents: Apollo 11" was ~worse~ than ST/TOS in both 'production value' ~and~ 'scientific Realism'. At least StarTrek had the TV decorum to use a 'transporter' for switching scenes to and from an 'outdoor environment', and thus avoided the whole idiotic NASA "low-gravity = slow-motion" thing. It was tedious to see that BS during Apollo 11: slow motion 'on the Moon', but they'd ~jump~ and go at 1/2 speed yet they NEVER got any higher than when jumping right here, at ~real~ speed. That's as unrealistic as it was seeing Buzz wearing ~different~ gloves outside, without having gone back inside, depressurizing......and so on, and on. For TV shows, then, it's StarTrek > NASA's Apollo Program (which ain't sayin' much), *especially* since NASA was going as (you can't make this stuff up) 'Reality TV'. Their abject failure to adhere to the fundamental Laws of Physics, from start to finale, however, was only possible to carry off due to the carefully Programmed public's given predisposition to believe it anyway (because JFK/ColdWar/confirmation bias).

@ 1:13:42 "As far as I'm concerned, it's just one lousy piece of real estate." They should have known that when they took off for the planet "Bartstow". But screaming, "IT'S A CRAB!!!!" is not an unreasonable reaction. Where there's one, there are usually more. Crabs can be spread by close personal contact, and these people are in fairly close contact. @ 1:17:00 "One of them must have attached himself to the ship!" Yup! That's what they do. Most folks don't have a force field to shake them off, so they use a mix of pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide. But they were right not to bring alien crabs back to infect Earth. We have enough problems.
This was a good movie and really illustrates how even today we have no comprehension of how vast space is. It's funny how they set off to explore another galaxy like it's an hour ride to Grandma's house .
@@bullettube9863 NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft launched from Earth in 1977. Because Voyager 1 is more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, it takes 22.5 hours for a radio signal to reach the spacecraft. And then it's another 22.5 hours for the probe's response to reach antennas on the ground. And radio signals travel at the speed of light. Space Probe Taurus was made in 1965. This movie is not alone in that it requires what's known as "suspension of disbelief." (The operative word is "REQUIRES.") In the old westerns, they had "infinite repeaters". Even in new movies heroes run around at full sprint while somehow carrying about 150lbs. of extra ammunition and/or magazines. _Suspension of disbelief._ It's quite amazing how prevalent it is - and not just in movies.
Not too shabby with a great cast 👌🏻 ... this was the first and only movie directed by Leonard Katzman who later on won an Emmy for the tevision series Dallas , also want to mention that the original title for this flick was "Space Monster"
90% of these old sci-fi films made it easy for wardrobe; All they needed were tons of gray flannel suits and military uniforms... and a few funky space suits!
My favorite "smile" about these 50's SciFi movies is their concept that future spaceships would be luxury liners with 'room for a swimming pool and a pony" (thank you Hyacinth from "Keeping up Appearances") and luxury furniture, instead of the cramped spaces they are turning out to be. Great, fun, entertaining way to spend a while. i found it funny when, at the end, she says, "The air is thin, but it's breathable! Earth people CAN live here!" Well, there are those 5-ton crabs that would appear to be capable of feeding a pretty large city, They will just have to be careful of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon"-or two, lol. TY for uploading.
@@brandex2011 Even better, when they discover the elements are suitable for human life, the doctor declares "Earth people can live here!" - momentarily completely forgetting about the giant crabs hammering away on the hull, or the seaweed zombie that launched an unprovoked attack on their friend the moment he entered the water and crushed him to death.
I love these old movies. It's funny how they saw the future then. But I have to laugh even more about their concept (or lack of it) of astronomy. Even in 1965 we knew that other starts were light years away and galaxies were millions of light years distant. It's still fun to watch them.
What if you come to a planet or moon (or something) that has water on it. After all, that's what we seem to be hoping for - liquid we can drink, wash and swim in.
I built the star drive for this ship back in the late 60s ,I used an old alternator some bailing twine and a stellar fermion higgs manipulation box aka a twinkie
I love when the captain is leaving the earth ship, he fires his spacesuit maneuvering jet inside the airlock and bangs right into the doorframe. Brilliant.
I didn't think the dialogue was great. When the lady scientist described the giant crabs as horrible creatures that was not how a professional scientist would react. Also the Captain should never have agreed to let the man who died on the crew. He didn't have a professional attitude to his job and his motivation for being on that flight was self serving. None of them seemed to have been vetted correctly for the job in hand.
John was the first person from Earth 🌎 to get into a fight with something in space, and then repeated his first theme by fighting with something in the ocean on another planet. He had a busy week.
That was my grandfathers alien space ship. They boarded and killed him. We demand reparations from the humanoids for this injustice. Lunging at a human was our way of saying hello. Humans responded with murder! No justice, no peace!
that’s a great internet name you have . @ sirtalkalotdoolittle. i have read some of your replies/comments on other YTube videos . this SciFi movie is fertile grounds for comical comments because it’s so hokey. on a personal note you should occasionally do something even if it’s wrong , rather that doing little . apology’s for not addressing you as a Sir , Sir . 🤭
This is truly a mid 1960s space movie,and one,that only American International could do so well! the sound effects that were used in this movie,later became heavily used in certain cartoon productions that Filmation Associates used,and also in other TV and movies.
And i might also mention,that there were some other sound effects,which were used in the TV series "SEARCH"(1972-73),which were regularly used in the background of this movie!
Ronald McReynolds Excuse me? What is solid propellent rocket fuel if not chemical power? Or mixing liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen or kerosene? All combustion in rocket engines is based on chemical power.
Ronald Rowan Hey Ronald Rowan. Ok, two things, first off I was basically saying that mankind will never make it to the stars on chemical based engines, like most rockets today. it's too little power. Secondly, not ALL engines use chemical power, some for instance are ion propulsion now or nuclear and other types are not being tested for use. But if you say rockets are chemicals that is okay with me as long as you don't say all engines for space are rockets.
Close to the Triangulum Galaxy and a million miles off course sounds like pretty good navigation. Way less than 1 percent deviation. Even in the sixties this was understood as complete theatrical fantasy. I have seen recent movies with the same or worse tech errors. I really enjoyed the "meteorites" burning in space. I was in elementary school when we (students) picked this movie apart. We already knew solid state was coming. No boys complained about sultry Francine York. Also seen on Batman and Lost in space, Bewitched, It takes a thief. and many others. Just wanted to see if she was as nice as I remembered. Not disappointed. RIP Francine Yerich.
A good scene would have been they land on a planet occupied by aliens like the one in the spaceship they blew up. The aliens communicate and ask the astronauts, "Say, did you happen to run across one of our ships out there?"
This movie came out only a year before Star Trek premiered on TV. It makes you appreciate the revolutionary nature of Gene Rodenberry's vision. When you realize that movies like this represented the state of Hollywood space exploration sci-fi at the time.
FORBIDDEN PLANET came out the previous decade and was a pretty big influence on TREK, as was THIS ISLAND EARTH. . (Also the Czech film, IKARIE XB-1, a quite sophisticated story about a huge interplanetary space craft transporting a large contingent of space explorers on an epic voyage, pre-TREK....The film was dubbed---adequately--and released in the US as VOYAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS also pre-dates TREK and, in spite of the title, is a well-done, realistic depiction of survival on Mars by a stranded astronaut. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it. This film here is bottom of the barrel and wasn't considered representative of space exploration at the time. It was a joke then. But films like it got made because the studios rarely put any money into bigger, better SF, though there were some pretty notable exceptions. But, perhaps you know all this? Sorry if I've gone on a boring tangent here. Just trying to stick up for some of the brighter SF work that was being done prior to TREK.
@@RSEFX You said it all well, RSEFX! This junk was for the likkered up teenage drive in market niche. If there was merchandising it would have killed, financially
You're comparing apple to oranges. This movies was supposed to be the near future while Star Trek the distant future. Each show was written and filmed to fit those perspectives.
If you watched this movie to the end, then that says something about the movie, or something about you :-) Yes, I watched it till the end and enjoyed it, thanks for the upload.
This movie seems to have been behind its own times. In just a few years Star Trek aired, then Space 1999, both of them so far ahead of the times and brilliant in concepts, acting, characterisation and FX.
i just really dig these old black and white Sci Fi flicks from the 50' & 60's especially when i was a kid watching Science Fiction Theater on Channel 4 in the late 60's it was an prehistoric view of what space travel was to be like in the future
There are movies like this that are so much Worth watching ,,, there is so much more to discuss than bland cgi ,,,, and its the stuff of my youth that made me dream of otherworlds ,,, so what's the harm ,,,, and yes I do pop up all over the place ,,,
I actually enjoyed this. I didn't expect much but parts of it I really enjoyed- the character development, the spaceships knobs and switches and claustrophobic effects... the curvy lady doctor, the undersea creature, and the overall pace made it all acceptable....It was made in 1965 yet has that 1957 feel, i guess that is why it's knocked, people expect more from a 65-er.
I actually prefer the 50s dynamic and aesthetic - the 60s were far too smarmy, gaudy, cock-sure and wantonly trippy. Casually 'Far out, man'. Damn, I hate the 60s vibe. Atompunk, yes - AustinPowers-punk, not so much thanks.

Given the date of this film, you’d think they would have known to carry a supply of baking soda for the engine compartment in case they landed in water.
I was thinking this same thing. And a year before was the Star Trek pilot "The Cage" where they knew the difference between things like Universes and Galaxies (and Jupiter, Saturn .... And the rest!)
And when i was 7, in 1972, catching these on tv, it was the spaceships and countdowns with switches and buttons clicking that got my attention. 😂 and rockets taking off....all that crap. Here we have giant crabs....😂
Yes this is one of my favorites. It was released long after the 1950s sci-fi and monster movie boom had ended by the early 1960s. Francine York was beautiful as always. The rest of the cast looked like they all came from Parma Ohio from the old WUAB Channel 43 studio.
Pretty cool movie but did everyone notice that ordinary lightbulb shining just outside the door to the alien spaceship which two of our heroes entered near the beginning of the movie? It must have been a Motel 6 as I think their slogan is "We'll leave a light on for you". LOL.
@@lennykazlauskas1101 A good story, talent and a genius director make a better movie..along with the cash of course. Same applies to Star Trek TOS which still as far as I'm concerned beats all the following stuff by miles and miles. Paul was just pointing out the gulf in quality.
44:53 So they landed of one of the moons of the triangulum Galaxy, that escaped its orbit. Can honestly say I never knew galaxys had their own moons orbiting them. You live and learn.
There is only one year difference between this movie and the original 1966 TV Star Trek series, but what a difference!
Yes, and in these sorts of movies space exploration is always under military, not civilian, control.

And yet despite the vast distances, they still had instant communications with Earth? Yikes! Shades of Star Trek!
@@bullettube9863 NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft launched from Earth in 1977. Because Voyager 1 is more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, it takes 22.5 hours for a radio signal to reach the spacecraft. And then it's another 22.5 hours for the probe's response to reach antennas on the ground. And radio signals travel at the speed of light.
Space Probe Taurus was made in 1965. This movie is not alone in that it requires what's known as "suspension of disbelief." (The operative word is "REQUIRES.")
In the old westerns, they had "infinite repeaters". Even in new movies heroes run around at full sprint while somehow carrying about 150lbs. of extra ammunition and/or magazines.
_Suspension of disbelief._ It's quite amazing how prevalent it is - and not just in movies.
Not too shabby with a great cast 👌🏻 ... this was the first and only movie directed by Leonard Katzman who later on won an Emmy for the tevision series Dallas , also want to mention that the original title for this flick was "Space Monster"
90% of these old sci-fi films made it easy for wardrobe; All they needed were tons of gray flannel suits and military uniforms... and a few funky space suits!
I love the opening scene best. They had LazyBoy recliners onboard.
Remember, when you are travelling hundreds of miles through space, make sure you have a LazyBoy recliner!
If the writers were stoners , it would be bean bag chairs
You’re right!!
Destruct button in the beginning was sure easy to get to...lol.
Also known as the f.u. button 🤣 keeps the pilots polite 😂
My favorite "smile" about these 50's SciFi movies is their concept that future spaceships would be luxury liners with 'room for a swimming pool and a pony" (thank you Hyacinth from "Keeping up Appearances") and luxury furniture, instead of the cramped spaces they are turning out to be. Great, fun, entertaining way to spend a while.
i found it funny when, at the end, she says, "The air is thin, but it's breathable! Earth people CAN live here!" Well, there are those 5-ton crabs that would appear to be capable of feeding a pretty large city, They will just have to be careful of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon"-or two, lol.

This film has it all. Love, Action, Giant Crabs & a guest appearance from The Creature of The Black Lagoon.
They’re worried about giant crabs, but no one seems to care about the constant flow of bubbles leaving the ship.
@@brandex2011 Even better, when they discover the elements are suitable for human life, the doctor declares "Earth people can live here!" - momentarily completely forgetting about the giant crabs hammering away on the hull, or the seaweed zombie that launched an unprovoked attack on their friend the moment he entered the water and crushed him to death.
I like that whoever designed the space ship made sure there was a department store armchair in the cockpit @3:18
Love these old sci-fi flicks.
Francine York passed this last January , 2017 , she was 80 .
I love these old movies. It's funny how they saw the future then. But I have to laugh even more about their concept (or lack of it) of astronomy. Even in 1965 we knew that other starts were light years away and galaxies were millions of light years distant.
It's still fun to watch them.
The global elite control everything on this planet and know what they want. There isn't any surprise about that.
Yes it's thanks to this film we have start trek and start wars
And I can confirm andros 1 is a successful colony but I'm sick to death of crab pie everyday

I love when the captain is leaving the earth ship, he fires his spacesuit maneuvering jet inside the airlock and bangs right into the doorframe. Brilliant.
Hell, that is exactly what my kid would have done.....
Don't you know anything space suit maneuvering jets? They're really difficult to use.,.!
Insightful dialogue among the actors. These older movies had the greatest writers ! Creativity and imagination are at their best !!
I didn't think the dialogue was great. When the lady scientist described the giant crabs as horrible creatures that was not how a professional scientist would react. Also the Captain should never have agreed to let the man who died on the crew. He didn't have a professional attitude to his job and his motivation for being on that flight was self serving. None of them seemed to have been vetted correctly for the job in hand.
I agree 👍
John was the first person from Earth 🌎 to get into a fight with something in space, and then repeated his first theme by fighting with something in the ocean on another planet. He had a busy week.

God I love that kinda talk. This is what makes young boys become astronauts.
Why does the pressure in the air lock go back to zero on the gauge? Uh I think it’s reversed.
We loaned them our electric drill to make the special sound effects. It was a Sears and Roebuck. We never saw it again.
You know one of crew, probably a set builder had that at home and used it till it give out.
That was my grandfathers alien space ship. They boarded and killed him. We demand reparations from the humanoids for this injustice. Lunging at a human was our way of saying hello. Humans responded with murder! No justice, no peace!

This is truly a mid 1960s space movie,and one,that only American International could do so well! the sound effects that were used in this movie,later became heavily used
in certain cartoon productions that Filmation Associates used,and also in other TV and
movies.
And i might also mention,that there were some other sound effects,which were
used in the TV series "SEARCH"(1972-73),which were regularly used in the
background of this movie!

From Earth to the stars, on chemical power. Not gonna happen.
Ronald McReynolds Excuse me? What is solid propellent rocket fuel if not chemical power? Or mixing liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen or kerosene? All combustion in rocket engines is based on chemical power.
Ronald Rowan Hey Ronald Rowan. Ok, two things, first off I was basically saying that mankind will never make it to the stars on chemical based engines, like most rockets today. it's too little power. Secondly, not ALL engines use chemical power, some for instance are ion propulsion now or nuclear and other types are not being tested for use. But if you say rockets are chemicals that is okay with me as long as you don't say all engines for space are rockets.

Close to the Triangulum Galaxy and a million miles off course sounds like pretty good navigation. Way less than 1 percent deviation.
Even in the sixties this was understood as complete theatrical fantasy.
I have seen recent movies with the same or worse tech errors.
I really enjoyed the "meteorites" burning in space.
I was in elementary school when we (students) picked this movie apart.
We already knew solid state was coming.
No boys complained about sultry Francine York.
Also seen on Batman and Lost in space, Bewitched, It takes a thief. and many others.
Just wanted to see if she was as nice as I remembered.
Not disappointed.
RIP Francine Yerich.
Right on ! Great picture

A good scene would have been they land on a planet occupied by aliens like the one in the spaceship they blew up. The aliens communicate and ask the astronauts, "Say, did you happen to run across one of our ships out there?"
and uhh did you bring the starbucks ?
This movie came out only a year before Star Trek premiered on TV. It makes you appreciate the revolutionary nature of Gene Rodenberry's vision. When you realize that movies like this represented the state of Hollywood space exploration sci-fi at the time.
FORBIDDEN PLANET came out the previous decade and was a pretty big influence on TREK, as was THIS ISLAND EARTH. . (Also the Czech film, IKARIE XB-1, a quite sophisticated story about a huge interplanetary space craft transporting a large contingent of space explorers on an epic voyage, pre-TREK....The film was dubbed---adequately--and released in the US as VOYAGE TO THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS also pre-dates TREK and, in spite of the title, is a well-done, realistic depiction of survival on Mars by a stranded astronaut. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it. This film here is bottom of the barrel and wasn't considered representative of space exploration at the time. It was a joke then. But films like it got made because the studios rarely put any money into bigger, better SF, though there were some pretty notable exceptions. But, perhaps you know all this? Sorry if I've gone on a boring tangent here. Just trying to stick up for some of the brighter SF work that was being done prior to TREK.

You're comparing apple to oranges. This movies was supposed to be the near future while Star Trek the distant future. Each show was written and filmed to fit those perspectives.

- NO KIDDING!
this movie has every cliche in the book. I love it.
Love those old quirky SciFi movies.
Pretty decent movie, considering it's budget. Good writing, acting, passable sets, and mostly good effects.
This movie seems to have been behind its own times. In just a few years Star Trek aired, then Space 1999, both of them so far ahead of the times and brilliant in concepts, acting, characterisation and FX.
As a fan of Space: 1999 since 1975 and Star Trek when it came out in 1966 I agree. However these old movies are still entertaining.
i just really dig these old black and white Sci Fi flicks from the 50' & 60's especially when i was a kid watching Science Fiction Theater on Channel 4 in the late 60's it was an prehistoric view of what space travel was to be like in the future
There are movies like this that are so much Worth watching ,,, there is so much more to discuss than bland cgi ,,,, and its the stuff of my youth that made me dream of otherworlds ,,, so what's the harm ,,,, and yes I do pop up all over the place ,,,
GOOD.
You think this is bad RUclips search for space Patrol and then go ahead and watch a couple of those
But they don't have Francine Yorke...🤪!
Love all these old movies I grew up on
I actually enjoyed this. I didn't expect much but parts of it I really enjoyed- the character development, the spaceships knobs and switches and claustrophobic effects... the curvy lady doctor, the undersea creature, and the overall pace made it all acceptable....It was made in 1965 yet has that 1957 feel, i guess that is why it's knocked, people expect more from a 65-er.
Particularly when you think that only three years after this dodgy little piece of cinema , Stanley Kubrick released the daddy of sci-fi films
I actually prefer the 50s dynamic and aesthetic - the 60s were far too smarmy, gaudy, cock-sure and wantonly trippy. Casually 'Far out, man'. Damn, I hate the 60s vibe. Atompunk, yes - AustinPowers-punk, not so much thanks.

Funny how once they’re underwater the spaceship makes sounds like a submarine.
Its not funny. You lie! Its artistic license.

This would be a good one for Elvira's Movie Macabre.
Oh heck yes! Too bad that she's retired...

"This is Hope One calling Earth Control. I think we landed inside a goldfish bowl."
Hmm, I wonder what the crush depth is for a toy spaceship?
Given the date of this film, you’d think they would have known to carry a supply of baking soda for the engine compartment in case they landed in water.
Amazing that just a couple of years after this we had "2001: A Space Odyssey".
...and the woman onbard was Hal 9000
I was thinking this same thing. And a year before was the Star Trek pilot "The Cage" where they knew the difference between things like Universes and Galaxies (and Jupiter, Saturn .... And the rest!)
@@ErikOlsonX the opening narrative, and the feminine voice tenor are hallmarks of star trek TV series 👍
for a 1965 movie, I'd give it a 3 of 5 stars, just watching Francine York eyes as she just scanned around was a joy and worth watching.
She's cold and two-dimensional.
She kind of has a Jennifer Lawrence look. Could be her mom or grandma.
A series of events not to be confused with a plot but fun to watch anyway.
And when i was 7, in 1972, catching these on tv, it was the spaceships and countdowns with switches and buttons clicking that got my attention. 😂 and rockets taking off....all that crap. Here we have giant crabs....😂
Yes this is one of my favorites. It was released long after the 1950s sci-fi and monster movie boom had ended by the early 1960s. Francine York was beautiful as always. The rest of the cast looked like they all came from Parma Ohio from the old WUAB Channel 43 studio.
Yeah that was Saturdays with Superhost.
Whoha I am from Parma!
Pretty cool movie but did everyone notice that ordinary lightbulb shining just outside the door to the alien spaceship which two of our heroes entered near the beginning of the movie? It must have been a Motel 6 as I think their slogan is "We'll leave a light on for you". LOL.
"The water can be drunk"...Truer words have never been spoken.
Some of these astronauts aren't very smart, they didn't even know what a crab is. LOL
Thanks. Love these old B movies.

Back then they expected so much of us now.
Man that sliding door on their spaceship takes forever to open and close.
Maybe they were just being cautious. Apparently the early Star Trek productions had several 'mishaps' due to 'poorly timed' door opening and closures!
The 1950s radio serial Journey Into Space was infamous for the amount of airtime it devoted to opening and closing the ship's airlock.
They only had budget for one stage hand.
They're pressure doors. They should take a while to open.
Man, wow, I agree-- that door is very annoying. Should just leave open for the amount of time it takes to open and close.
Gotta love the notion that communication in deep space with radiowaves is instantaneous.
I can see where "Star Trek" got their influence from. Very cool. Love these old films!
Very like early Star Trek.
