Purely of historical value now, "Destination Moon" is still quite entertaining.It's fun to see that the concept of reaching the moon wasn't seen as a unrealistic goal twenty years before mankind was able to achieve it. The science in the movie must have been as accurate as they could make it almost sixty years ago. I was relieved that the movie mostly keep its feet on the ground in regard to the fantasy element. There are no aliens on the moon. However the most annoying aspect of the movie is the performance of mediocre comic Dick Wesson. He almost spoils the whole movie. The Technicolor and effects are quite nice. Not a great sci-fi but a interesting one
