The creature from the black lagoon in space

Destination Inner Space is our own Earth's oceans and some folks from another planet are showing an interest in it as a place to live. A group of scientists headed by Gary Merrill who live in an under water sea lab discovers a phenomenon of incredible size and the Navy sends Commander Scott Brady to investigate.The usual conflict between scientists and the military plays out with Brady and Merrill. In addition Brady has a conflict with another of the of the sea lab's crew Mike Road.The phenomenon turns out to be a space ship that settles in one of the crevices under the ocean and it's containing pods that are in a deep freeze. Stupidly the crew takes one aboard and it hatches into a cousin of the creature from the black lagoon though light years smarter. After that the film becomes almost a rerun of the classic, The Thing.Serving as decoration are scientists Sheree North and Wende Wagner. That's for the male audience to get them to the film if they're not science fiction fans. Destination Inner Space though the science may not be creditable it's still good fodder in the fiction department.

Well, it had an interesting premise and the monster looked okay...

If you are a fan of fast paced monster films that are filled with kills and insane encounters then I would probably check elsewhere. If you want to see people put on wet suits and take them off and put them back on, well this is the film for you! I have never see a film where the act of putting on a suit to explore the ocean was more prolific in a movie than the monster in said film. One scene the poor guy was struggling to buckle up and you can tell it was painful! On the plus side, it had a very interesting premise which one wishes they could have explored more rather than seeing the characters change into wet suits and change back out of them...The story, some big naval guy comes to a sea lab due to the scientists discovering a strange object. This dude immediately takes charge, but he and an engineer on the underwater station have a history and are bitter towards one another. The engineer is trying to woo a woman, who apparently likes and is attracted to a man who leaves people to die. Well, the strange object seems to be extraterrestrial in nature and when they go on board a strange object is found. The military man wishes to leave it, but his rival wants to take it and by golly, it is some sort of egg of a fish monster!Lots of padding in a film that really had a premise that did not really need any. You could have done much more with the monster and the ship, but in lieu of that, we get diving prep and tragic backstories. At one point, we even get the same scene repeated! The actors and actresses are standard fare for this type of film not really adding anything, but not detracting either.So, we get a monster that looks kind of like the Zora from Legend of Zelda and we get a ship of unknown origin. However, we get a lot more time watching people switch out clothes! I don't know, maybe watching this process was more exciting in the 60's or something? If they could have just added more monster and actual action this thing could have been good, but as it is, I am just not that interested in diving prep...

Destination Inner Space

When some deep sea researchers feel their base being buzzed by a strange object, they assume it's a whale or some other natural occurrence Thing is, soon they realise that is a metallic object - like an aluminium sting-ray - and it contains extraterrestrial life that isn't that friendly. Now they are besieged and hundreds of feet under the surface with limited oxygen and a menacing foe. Can they escape? Well that's down to team leader "Wayne" (Scott Brady) who has, typically, to run a dysfunctional team of military and scientific brains who have baggage, of course, and seem to prefer fighting each other rather than their common foe. There's a lot of waffly dialogue and the orchestrations are left to create much of the menace as we are introduced to an extremely nimble creature that as the film rumbled along I began to think could be dragooned into doing us all a bit of a service should it succeed on it's mission. It's good to see that that costume is getting put to good use, though - I'm sure I've seen it before, and those plastic chains.
