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.

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.

Michael O'Keefe Dirk Green(Michael Whalen)wants to keep the spaceship he built to himself without any interference from the government. When he finds a couple of escaped convicts hiding in the craft, he forces Lon(Gary Clarke)and Gene(Tommy Cook)to become his crew and it is all systems go. The missile is launched and found aboard are Dirk's science technician and partner Steve(Richard Travis)and his fiancée June(Cathy Down). Before the ship even lands on the moon, Dirk is accidentally killed and nobody else knows that he is actually a previous inhabitant of the moon trying to get back. The adventurers land on the moon and find a dying civilization of beautiful women under the rule of The Lido(K.T. Stevens). There are also some "rock monsters" that look like man-size stone Gumbies. Thus this low budget affair has very primitive special effects and is no showcase for recognizable acting abilities.

bensonmum2 Fans of serious science fiction need not bother. In fact, to call Missile to the Moon a "science fiction" movie is something of a misstatement. "Fiction" – sure. "Science" – not on your life. Any resemblance Missile to the Moon may have with actual science is purely coincidental and, most likely, unintentional. But that doesn't mean it's not entertaining. Taken for what it is (a 1958 low-budget drive-in b-movie), it's not half bad. Sure, the rock creatures look fake and the giant spider is obviously a puppet and the inhabitants of the moon are straight off an Atlantic City beauty show runway, but all these things only add to the fun of the movie. It's kooky stuff like this that always seems to appeal to me. Don't take it too seriously and you just might enjoy it. There are a couple of other positives. One, the film is nicely paced so that at only 78 minutes it doesn't overstay its welcome. And two, the movie looks far better than it should given its meager budget. I'd say that the cinematographer, Meredith M. Nicholson, got it right. In the end, Missile to the Moon may not be the greatest movie ever made, but as a piece of entertainment, it's certainly better than its 2.4 IMDb rating. For what it's worth, I'll give it a 6/10.
