Reviews for Destination Moon
Taken as sort of a pre-pre-pre-historic Apollo 13, I suspect the die-hard sci-fi fans might enjoy this one.
A abordagem científica adotada pelo roteiro contrabalança a trama rasa e o patriotismo barato do filme.
High on American patriotism of the let's beat the Russians to the moon kind.
