I heard about this movie while reviewing the user reviews of the original Star Trek, Galileo Seven. It looks like Star Trek took a lot of ideas from this movie, especially about the logical choice made at the end of who will survive. Mr. Spock's command!
Now to this movie, it has a good story. Lots of characters and we get to know them. The main problem is in the acting. It was OK, but not great. Lucile Ball and John Caradine should have been used more. Maybe a bit more in the writing. The best actor here was Joseph Calleia as Vasquez. All the actors did a professional job.
The ending where he tells the professor he has enough bullets for everyone (3 left) so the headhunters will not capture them alive, to avoid torture. He open the chamber of the gun and there we see 2 bullets. He shoot the professor and his wife dead, then we hear and see some glimpse of the headhunters approaching, not clear, but it's them. And we know what will happen to Vasquez. This is great stuff. The middle section is a bit slow. And the acting/writing could have been more energized. But this is still a solid movie.
Rating is a B, for a B movie, 7 stars.
