1. Thanks for the background of the movies, many of which I saw as first run movies

2. DESTINATION MOON was not 2 years in production.

3. Thanks!

4. It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Some people think it’s a cinerama movie but it was really filmed in Panavision 70.

5. SOME of the cheesiest movies ever, BUT ALSO some of the most enjoyable, especially for a little kid with an imagination.

6. Smell-o-vision – in a big room with big air (as in a theatre), it is hard to "switch in" and "switch out" the smells for a short time. This could work better with a personal computer in a home. Plug the Smell Blaster into the USB port, drop in that movie's scratch-and-sniff card, and press play.

7. interesting. enjoyed the history of the cinema evolution.

8. great great movies for a more innocent time.

9. There are 5 (FIVE) English errors in the text on your thumbnail. Be better.

10. Bob Burns owns the Larger saucer miniature from Day the earth stood still

11. I have not been to an IMAX, but I did see a Cinerama movie.

12. On the question of the ship in the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still, I did see behind the scenes photos of the ship. I believe the ship was not a completed prop. The back end of the ship was just wooden 2×4's. As they never filmed that part of the ship. But I have to admit Im not 100 % sure. So I think it was mostly the front of the ship that was filmed. Usually if something is not getting filmed there is no reason to comple that part. Billy Gray who played the part of Bud in the T V show Father Knows Best is still around and doing interviews. He would know.

13. Thank you for the great video.

14. I just re-watched Destination Moon earlier this week. A lot of the charm of these older Sci-Fi's comes from the sillier aspects of the movie as we look back on it from today. As for "20K Leagues…." I've never thought of it as a Sci-Fi, probably because it doesn't have anything to do with outer space. But neither do "The Trollenberg Terror", "Them", or "The Monolith Monsters" and I consider those to be excellent Sci-Fi's. Puzzling….

15. Wheatstone is even better known for perfecting the development of the Wheatstone bridge, used to measure an unknown electrical resistance and is a circuit design taught in electrical engineering He was also critical in the development of telegraphy.

16. I am really enjoying your series very much, thank you.

17. Outstanding documentary. Thanks.

18. I love these old movies. I think one scene in "Destination Moon" had the most comically bad use of forced perspective I've ever seen, and."Conquest of Space" had one of the cleverest uses of rear projection.

19. those cracks are properly called 'desiccation fractures'

20. All awesome productions. Shrinking Man was very enjoyable for the most part. The ending doesn't pass the sniff test with the proselytizing but that doesn't ruin it, just makes it super cheesy. But there are many examples of this kind of religion-shoved-in-yer-face from this era and is part of its quaint charm.

21. They were all good, especially when I was a little boy. Only one failed me. The movie was about aliens who came to destroy the Earth. The aliens had a large ray weapon. I later found that the ray gun was a landing light from a WW2 B-29 Bomber.

22. Destination Moon is a favorite of mine! The Incredible Shrinking Man was very well done but it was so sad that I could only watch it once.

23. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Remember when Disney made good movies? Now, they have ruined everything they touch. Too bad they purchased Star Wars.

24. The ship must have been made from iron so the magnet boots would enable the e v a . Of course the boots came loose and the crewman drifted off into space. Using an oxygen cylinder for propulsion to rescue him caused a great deal of wonder and was my introduction into rocket science.

25. Great !!!!

26. Another really interesting video. I’m a child of the 80’s but I still remember some of these, and movies of this era, being on tv when I was younger. These may seem cheesy to some but the examples you gave to so much creativity to bring them to screen.

27. Jackie Gleason's 1962 movie was pronounced "Gee-go". Love this series.

28. I love how film producers and theater owners tried to make the experience memorable, as in Smell-O-Vision, etcetera. Now you get $15 tickets to see forgettable movies. The 1950s public certainly seemed to have flying saucers, atomic bombs, radiation, the open road, and the deserts of the Southwest on the brain.

29. Was awe struck as a child watching these, now they all seem to be "prequel's" of what has come to pass. Good stuff, keep it coming.

30. Glad you did Designation Moon. A great film that too many have never heard of. One of my favorite as a child. Really enjoy your comments of the different films.

31. Smell-o-vision! Who nose👃, maybe it will make a comeback 😊

32. I love your channel

33. It was a pretty common thing in the 50s and early 60s to have rocketships doing some turn and landing on their thrusters. Not quite what we got when we did land on the moon so I guess the Grumman guys weren't keen on the idea but I still like seeing it.
