for a science fiction film released in 1955,this one is pretty good.the effects are above average.the acting is good,the story is good,as is the dialogue.all of these elements are much better than in the later released television show Lost in Space,which i was reminded of.there's even a message that isn't pounded into the viewer with a sledge hammer.there are a couple instances of stereotypical characters behaving in a stereotypical way,but these moments are kept to a minimum,thankfully.certainly with the era and the genre,there ample opportunity for hammy and over the top dialogue and acting but there is little of that.what we do get is an entertaining and sobering 81 minute tale that makes you think.for me,Conquest of Space is a 7/10
