From a space wheel 500 miles above the Earth, commander Samuel Merritt (Walter Brooke) and his men (including Eric Fleming and Benson Fong) construct a sleek robot, then receive orders providing their new craft's destination: Mars! But once the spaceship is underway, doubts surface. Merritt questions the audacity of humankind's reach for the heavens. He calls it blasphemy and threatens to destroy the mission. Five-time Oscar. winner George Pal (The War Of The Worlds) produced this adventure rooted in the '50s understanding of space exploration... and heightened by the awareness that no matter how advanced science becomes, human weaknesses remain.

George Pal won me over with "War of the Worlds." Conquest of Space did not have the same pace as the former, but still has enough entertainment value for me to like. The acting is very much 1950's as many of the astronauts conduct themselves like young men still reeling from winning the war. Women are still looked as as eye candy, and there are the usual tension between alphas. But hey, it this a fun film, and it paved the way for better films by George Pal. If you like his other films like WOTW, or "Destination Moon", "The Time Tunnel" and "When Words Collide"... then this film is a must to add to the repertoire of sci-fi movies to enjoy.

Not bad. Enjoyable
