Destination Moon 06/30/26

After decades of neglect, George Pal’s history-making Sci-fi breakthrough arrives in a worthy video transfer. The milestone production is as original as Kubrick’s 2001 and arguably more influential, as it spurred the public to believe that space travel was a practical possibility. Filmed in Technicolor, Pal’s moonscapes captured the world’s imagination, and his silver-winged craft Luna set the standard for spaceships in the pre-NASA era. As is often pointed out, the real moon landing 19 years later bore numerous similarities … right down to a last-minute improvised landing adjustment. The special edition contains an entire extra feature in HD, Walter Mirisch’s Flight to Mars. On Blu-ray from Film Masters.
