The urgency never lets up and this is a top notch sci-fi film featuring the artwork of Chesley Bonestell. Many, especially viewers of the modern era have criticized the ending with the "Disney-like" painting of the new planet the survivors have landed on, but one must understand that Pal and company were rushed to meet deadlines and budget cuts, and they did the best they could, and I for one admire that.
This film conveys human nature at it's best which is savage and brutal in a survival situation.
Richard Derr, Larry Keating, John Hoyt, Hayden Rourke, Sam Cady and the always sexy Barbara Rush head a great cast.
Recommended for any sci-fi fan.
