ending
How did this movie end?

And you wonder "was it all a dream" in this old man's mind, did he have a breakdown, was he thrown into a high-end mental hospital(which I got the impression this place was, less a nursing home) being the only survivor and, someone(s) wanting to hush it all up and him written off as a lunatic?? As I recall the whole thing was done completely in secret(launching a rocket that size done in secret would be a feat) and they went to unscrupulous means(George Sewell's security tactics with the spy and the way Ross was dealt with when he started believeing something was amiss when he "returned" to the other earth) to insure that secrecy.
In the end, the very secrecy of the project did in the very boss, as some kind of ironic fate.
The actual ending scene haunts me a bit to this day some 30+ years after seeing it as the opener for the newly released "soylent green" with my parents at a drive in in San Jose, I must have been about 10. Even though it was a slow and boring movie, I was really into the Cap'n Scarlet puppet silliness at that age, so it kept my attention.
Just the whole thing of him looking at the mirror at the end of the hall, and he comes to the realization.... starts wheeling the chair, faster, the music builds, he pushes the wheels harder, the reflection rushing up.... cut.
Way beyond the movie itself, it kind of calls into question "what is real? is everything as we think we see it?"
Never mind "I hope they made this from tempered glass......"

I love the ending; it's mysterious..., and kind of sad.

"What is a "Gerry Anderson" explosion?"
Gerry Anderson is the co-writer and producer: he likes explosions :).
you know Gerry Anderson likes explosions and had Michael Bey been around imagine the kind of movie both of them could do........
