	Destination Moon at 50
		So it is no surprise that Destination Moon has a stylistically grand opening: thundering orchestral music accompanied by text sweeping upward across screen and disappearing in the distance in perspective, in the manner of Flash Gordon before it and Star Wars after.
		Destination Moon starts with a pyrotechnically spectacular failure, and it’s impossible to see the burning rocket without thinking of its counterparts in the real-life chronicles of Mercury and Apollo.
		In both Destination Moon and in real life there was a near-disaster, averted through the ingenuity of the ground crew and the astronauts.

		The spate of sci-fi films that followed are almost all variations on Destination Moon 's theme, adding monsters, beautiful babes, or various sinister aliens.
		If one requires these in their sci-fi, then one should look elsewhere; therefore, I can only recommend Destination Moon to SF purists and historians - it may be a tad too dry for anyone else.
		Unlike a lot of its progeny, Destination Moon was shot in Technicolor, and the print's colors are quite tasty, especially those color-coded space suits.
