Space Men (1960)

Bizarre Space Drama

The year is 2116 - so the film takes place in the 22nd Century NOT the 21st as mentioned in the summery. Basically they are out in space with an interplanetary reporter, Ray Peterson. Tensions build between many of the characters, there are ship malfunctions and the ship goes from Mars to Venus. It ends up that Peterson has to save everyone.

The visuals are pretty cool for a B-film of the 1960s, the story seems like it could have had a little more spunk and most of the characters speak like robots and speak with little emotion quite often. Overall it's an alright film although not all that great - it's a bit flat at times but watchable.

4/10
