Destination Moon (1950)


For one of the first movies to depict space travel, Destination Moon is awfully boring. This is a bit of weird nationalist–capitalist propaganda. It's not without interest, though. It contains an intriguing animated sequence with Woody Woodpecker explaining the science behind space travel, and its images of the moon and of the space ship are interesting. The movie itself just doesn't have much content to it.
