Corrections and Trivia
- I think the plot description is wrong: they crash, but DO transmit a warning back to Earth.
- The DVD features 1970s restoration by film enthusiast Wade Williams, which involved replacing some of the original FX shots and reshooting exterior long shots with spacesuited stand-ins. As I understand it the reshoots were shot in color and transferred to black and white just so the grain would match the original footage. Lee M 01:40, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Separate the plot from the review
Comments about hitting the eye of a mosquito and Newtonian Law should probably be reserved for the Notes section after the Plot section. If the editor didn't like the movie, it shouldn't pepper his/her recounting of the plot.

- I agree. In this instance, I'd particularly like to see a source cited for the probability on "hitting the left eye of a mosquito at a range of several miles." Editorializing is inappropriate content for an encyclopedic tone. Too often there's a tendency for wikipedia contributors to write reviews (rather than encyclopedia articles) when it comes to movies, novels, music, etc. Remember: you're not here to express your opinion or make witty comments about plot holes -- do that on your 'blog. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. 66.17.118.195 16:12, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
