The Phantom Planet (1961)



A Little Better Than Expected

It took about 20 minutes of boring bits to get to the asteroid and a little bit interesting stuff. It's not bad for a 1950s 5 Sci-Fi, not a good film but not too bad either.

It's about an astronaut who sent into space and his ship is drawn to the asteroid by it's gravitational pull. His ship lands, he steps out looks around and falls over... then he shrinks. He is captured by the small people that lives on the asteroid, he's put to trial then let go. He is told that if he gets back to Earth he would immediately grow back to normal size but he can never leave the asteroid anyway.

The men in the film  must have gone to John Wayne's school of acting because they sure seem to try to talk like John Wayne. LOL. 

The film is not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's a little bit interesting, mostly drab but watchable (barely).

3.5/10
