Motín en la nave espacial

Never did see a mutiny. It is more of a space station being contaminated by a fungus. Looks like the station will have to be dispatched before the Earth is fungicides. We are mesmerized by Dolores Faith. But her rubber suit is very clunky. Can the space station be saved or do you feel like something is itching where it should not be itching?

Filmed in six days at a whopping $90,000. And it shows. Could have been a Commander Cody or Captain Midnight quality

Well this movie was made just a few years prior to 2001 A Space Odyssey, it seems very much a throwback to the decade prior. I watched it with that level of suspension of disbelief, treating it like 1950s be science fiction, and found it fast-paced and entertaining. Naturally, the science is but science is never the point well this kind of movie anyway. What I genuinely admire about this little low-budget flick is that all of the actors take their roles seriously, so not only is the acting not half-bad, there are even a few moments where it seems almost to naturalistic. In addition, the screenwriter/s made some attempts at banter between the characters which actually work fairly well. Similarly, we even have a few oblique camera angles and a POV shot of the fungus crawling over the camera lens. None of these little creative flourishes would have found their way into a little movie like this if the technicians involved weren't making some effort.

Mutiny in Outer Space is not a classic, but it is a fun relic for fans of this kind of movie from that era, and it's good that it has managed to survive in the public domain.

I found this to be a good science fiction movie, although the special effects were weak. It has a crew revolt, ala The Caine Mutiny as noted in another review, as they have to overcome the mental breakdown of the station's commander to combat a fast-growing deadly fungus. It has elements of realism harking back to The Thing from Outer Space and the authorities at space command actually show intelligence by anticipating actions taken by the crew, understanding the nature of the fungus, and offering a possible solution to saving the crew and station.

If you can ignore the lack of good special effects, this movie is worth the time.

I watched this movie first when I visited my best friend, it´s a tradition watching a DVD-movie when we met. It was not a well-known low-price-DVD which I didn´t know yet. The effects were lousy, the actors average, but this movie has a certain charme. If only Ed Wood had worked this way...

Shot in black and white, Mutiny in Outer Space one of the lesser known 50's sci-fi, probably because it wasn't made until 1965, but worry not - it is made in the same mold as most other 50's sci-fi in regards to script, acting and special effects. An Italian/USA production with all English speaking actors - no annoying dubbing here folks.

The special effects includes ship launches, dockings, space station shots, a killer fungus, and some rather convincing makeup effects for on contaminated crew members. All work well to serve the story, just remember these are still pre-Star Wars effects and in alignment with what you have see in other 50's sci-fi...

I find this film to be much more entertaining than the supposed classic with similar storyline 'It! the Terror from Beyond Space' made nearly ten years earlier.

Well worth your time seeking this flick out. The transfer available is magnificent and much better than some of the commercial 50's sci-fi titles out there!!

By way of comparison, MIOS is much more engaging than other 50's fare such as The Unknown Terror, The Flame Barrier, or Curucu-Beast of the Amazon. Check it out!!!
