Cat-Women Of The Moon
50's or later decades, in technicolor
or in black-and- white, 3D or not. The moral is always the same: the
male is an idiot who is duped by women. If they have the foreign charm
(an alien) or if they are super-clever (astronaut), the result is even
worse.
This is what usually emerges and is what underline the sci-fi "Cat-Women Of The Moon".
A story in which our civilization was in danger of being destroyed by
the fault of five astronauts (including women) who were about to fall
like in front of a race of cat-woman of the moon.
Cat-women dressed in black with a really heavy makeup. The last
representative of a society founded two million years ago. A group of
people who live without men (who knows if the storks come there ...)
breathing air that gets sold, making it necessary to flee to Earth.
Unfortunately they haven't a rockets or a car...to get into Earth.
Yea...they are intelligent, they also speak a very good English but
they can't build a rocket..
And so five astronauts arrive on the moon. The astronaut-woman is
suddenly controlled by the Cat-Women that do their best to uncover the
secrets of the spaceship trying to stole the space suits and the
rocket's key.
They try with fake hospitality, mild
flirting and promises to donate all the gold of the Moon. Alpha, Beta
and Lambda the three cat-women succeed in their efforts to take
possession of the spaceship using also the astronaut woman involved in
a fake flirt.
So while two astronauts were fighting for their colleague, the three
cats falls away to the rocket. Fortunately one of them in love with the
pilot of the spacecraft tell everything to the earth-man and the four
astronauts are able to recover everything and return to the Earth.
Harmless and funny sci-fi, good
b-movie, but it dwells excessively frayed and losing in the
implementation of the plan of evil cats. Fortunately it finish in 63'
minutes. Just in time.
The lovely scenery are equal to other sci-fi era.
We don't talk about the rocket model a classic of the genre, which
simulates the journey, but we talk about the fact that our astronauts
traveling in complete comfort with gravity and oxygen on the ship.
For the preservation of the species "cat women" we don't spend more.
Another interesting thing is the excellent English spoken on the moon,
also underlined by one of the crew, ( incredible for the genre!) soon
silenced with the explanation that the women's cat is a very
civilization higher than ours. Again...they don't know how to build a
rocket?
