First Men in the Moon
1964 - 104 min. - Color
Genre: Sci-Fi
Not Rated
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
As a team of United Nations astronauts are planning an upcoming moon mission, they are approached by an elderly man who recounts a trip he took to the moon 65 years ago (in 1899) and was attacked by "Selenites," a race of ant-like beings that dwell in caverns of crystal. Based on the story by H.G. Wells and featuring the magical special effects work of Ray Harryhausen.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
At times a bit too tongue-in-cheek for its own good, First Men in the Moon is nonetheless an enjoyable H.G. Welles cinemadaptation, decked out with eye-popping special effects. When scientists in the year 1964 are confused by evidence of a long-ago space flight, nonagenarian Arnold Bedford (Edward Judd) explains all. Back in 1899, Bedford, eccentric scientist Joseph Cavor (Lionel Jeffries) and heroine Kate Callender (Martha Hyer) took a trip to the moon in a home-made space vehicle. Once on the lunar surface, they encountered an alien civilization resembling an ant colony, complete with "queen," soldiers and workers. How they returned, and the aftereffects of their journey, comprise the film's final third. First Men in the Moon is highlighted by some of stop-motion maven Ray Harryhausen's best and most convincing work; less believable is the notion that the pioneering space travellers are able to traverse the moon without covering their hands with gloves! Albert Finney appears briefly as a messenger; he happened to be visiting the set when the actor hired to play the messenger failed to show up, so..... --- Hal Erickson
