Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat to discover the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the math of the sky?

Arne Soknesson has! &#8230;.or so this Irwin Allen-produced movie claims. A 16th-century explorer was ridiculed for his preposterous attempt to reach the Earth&#8217;s core, but 300 years later, Professor Oliver Lindenbrook (James Mason) stumbles upon evidence that proves he did just that, and ventures forth to go there himself. Of course, by the time he leaves, the party has grown to five members: a student of his at the University of Edinburgh (Pat Boone), the widow of a fellow explorer (Arlene Dahl), a burly Norwegian (Peter Ronson), and his pet duck Gertrude (herself). Spending a year beneath the surface, they encounter a cavern of luminescent crystals, large deposits of salt, an ocean, the lost city of Atlantis, and even another explorer (Thayer David)&#8230;bent on making sure his own name goes down in history as the first man to reach the center of the Earth!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/?attachment_id=47711#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-47711\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47711\" src=\"http:\/\/www.moviefanfare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FIRST-MEN-IN-THE-MOON.jpg\" alt=\"FIRST MEN IN THE MOON\" width=\"525\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FIRST-MEN-IN-THE-MOON.jpg 525w, https:\/\/onecinephile.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/FIRST-MEN-IN-THE-MOON-300x144.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.moviesunlimited.com\/first-men-in-the-moon\/043396478152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><em>First Men in the Moon<\/em><\/a> (1964)<\/p>\n<p>The year is 1899 and Professor Cavor (Lionel Jeffries) is busy working in his country home, perfecting Cavorite, a paste that, when applied to any object, renders it ineffectual to the force of gravity. Whoosh! upwards it will travel unless something blocks its path or a shield is placed over the Cavorite. What possible commercial value could Cavorite have? It could send a ship to the Moon of course, where unheard of deposits of rare minerals, gems, and gold could be just sitting on the surface! And that could make them rich, rich, rich! At least that&#8217;s what Cavor and Arnold Bedford (Edward Judd) think. Arnold&#8217;s fianc\u00e9e Kate (Martha Hyer) accidentally comes along for the ride, but venturing inside the moon was not apart of their plan.

It travels always onward, oblivious of events occurring within its domain, continually venturing forward into unexplored territory, ever unchanging and unstoppable. But scientists continue to explore this intangible mystery of our existence. Could altering the Past affect the Future? (there is a good <em>Outer Limits<\/em> episode about that topic); Could a journey into the Future help us make better decisions for Today? Well, these questions bothered George Wells (Rod Taylor\u00a0 too. And besides, he felt like he never belonged in the era he was living (that&#8217;s nothing new ). So he constructs a time machine and after fiddling with the dials a bit, propels himself to the year 802,701 A.D. A blond-haired, blue-eyed race of humans called Eloi populate the Earth eating giant veggies and fruits, lounging around with no work to be done, and dashing off at sundown when the terrible mutants known as the Morlocks come out of their caverns to &#8230;.eek!&#8230;eat them.<\/p>\n<p>Our intrepid explorers have traveled to the center of the Earth, the inside of the Moon, and through the Ages of Time, and so what unknown territory is left?&#8230;..

But what he doesn&#8217;t know is that every time he passes through an object, he ages! And even worse than that (yes&#8230; there is something worse than aging) touching another human causes instant death to them, but gives him renewed youth&#8230;.. I&#8217;ll let the movie explain the details of that phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there you have it.
