Featured review
Just a pilot, but then again...
By now you know that this movie, as such, was just a pilot for a CBS TV series that was never picked up.
But don't overlook its potential as an interesting film.
The plot of the second and third act revolved around the political problems the space program faced and is still facing.
There is a romantic subplot that would have been dropped at the first chance if the show went into production.
If I saw this as an eight year old in a theater I probably would have thrown my popcorn at the screen. But as a science story it outshines the majority of movies it stole from.
It's not as good as the CBS show that did make it for a season, (Men Into Space)but still better than a lot of science fiction television at the time.
