"I don't know, boys. Give me the good old days!"
"Hahahahahaha"
This movie is a masterpiece.
Wow, they really didn't have a clue back then. This movie makes me so glad I live in 2016.
Everyone flying in their own airplane on earth and a round trip to Mars by 1980, that is very ambitious thinking.
Did you know my phone can do videophone
Unique story of how 1980 is seen from the writers in 1930. The dance numbers on planet mars are a must see.
This is priceless! "I won't give up my fanny/You'll never be a prat"
Fantastic!
Movies predicting the future always far-fetched. And recently, one movie taking place about 50 years in the future about a blighted Earth seemed realistic until they blasted off into space and docked with a spaceship that came with hibernation pods and went through a wormhole to explore planets outside the solar system.
It's scary to think what it's going to be like in the USA in 50 years. We'll all probably be slaves.

The rocket sort of looked like and took off exactly like Flash Gordon's space ship :}
What an absolutely delightful movie!! From opulent luxurious Art Deco sets and elaborate perfect choreography – to seeing 1980 through 1930 eyes – oh my gosh!! – my senses are so superbly fulfilled. I've been perfectly entertained and uplifted!! 🙂 Thank you so very much for this upload.
