First Man Into Space [VHS]starring: Marshall Thompson, Marla Landi, Bill Edwards, Robert Ayres, Bill Nagy directed by: Robert Day
Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The early reels of First Man into Space should delight fans of the Mercury/Sputnik era in rocket technology--though it may delight fans of low-budget 1950s sci-fi even more. A small manned rocket, launched from a jet cruising at high altitude, manages to poke its nose up about 250 miles above the Earth--thus making its cocky, reckless pilot the (you guessed it) first man into space. Unfortunately, weird cosmic debris clings to the spacecraft when it crash-lands, and also to the astronaut: he's now covered with a layer of scaly, sparkly space rock. To put it in technical terms, the returned pilot is categorised as "a great big lumbering deformed monster". Lumbering around a rocket facility in New Mexico, the monster-pilot's brother (Marshall Thompson) must find him before he kills again. Oddly enough, once the cheesy space-flight FX wear off, First Man into Space turns into a competent and surprisingly thoughtful thriller giving this movie some points for at least trying to emphasise the science in its fiction.--Robert Horton, Amazon.com Average Rating: none
