 Rating: - Conquest of SpaceSeller gave me very good, very prompt and efficient service -- thank you!! The movie's dated but still a lot of fun, rating AAA++++. Rating: - Another great 50s classicI can only second what others have already said about this 50s classic. Fifty years later, the special effects still hold up.

I kinda doubt todays young viewers will like it because it has a story and the special effects arent to todays standards. In any case - highly reccommened |
