Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

needful_things1 I watched this and Voyage to the planet of Prehistoric Women the same night. I almost stopped the Prehistoric Women movie because so much of it was the same. Later I found that they were both made from "Planeta Bur (Planet of Storms)", a soviet film. The color was so washed out that I was not sure it was color. The acting lacked everything, but being in space suits most of the time, it really didn't matter. The dialog, was just as uninspiring. High school students being forced to read aloud could do as well. It was interesting to see the differences between the two movies, with 2 directors and the same stock footage. If they were not part of a package deal of 50 movies, I would never buy these. I don't recommend buying large movie packages without thorough research. Most will be trash and poor copies like these two movies.

mark.waltz What seems to be Red Planet Mars is actually Venus in all her pre-historic glory where dinosaurs, large lizards (looking like sleeztacks from "Land of the Lost") and Venus Flytraps the size of a cow are able to survive on a planet that science has determined is way too hot for anything to flourish on let alone earthlings. But in the mind of some filmmaker with great dramatic license, that's all hogwash and men can not only go there, they can drive around in a souped-up sports car that can fly several feet off the ground without the benefit of wheels. The drive-in crowd may have loved this sort of thing, but they could also find other things to occupy their time with during boring sequences. Sillier than even Ed Wood's most hideous "Z" graders, this will make you laugh at the total ridiculousness of it, especially the obvious stock footage and the hairstyle that Howard Hughes' former protégée, Faith Domergue, must wear, which resembles an out-of-shape Viking helmet that was spray painted black. Basil Rathbone is also on for a few meaningless scenes. Poorly photographed with hollow sound, this film's acting highlight is by the creatures who thanks to a lack of dialog give better performances than the human actors.

silphiumb Derived from a magnificent, early 60's Soviet sci-fi about a manned trip to Venus. The models, sets, vehicles, weapons, robots, costumes, and other tech items are equal to or better than the best of its Western contemporaries in terms of imagination and realism. Co-starring Faith Domergue and Basil Rathbone - yes, Sherlock Holmes - in overdubbed scenes designed, I guess, to make you not notice that in the rest of the movie, the dubbed English audio track doesn't follow the Russian lip movements. The original Russian story does come through, of a fantastically complex world explored by men from Earth employing high tech contrivances. In fact, the quality of the engineering is so good, they must have had input from Soviet industry and/or academia. All in all, a fascinating peak into Soviet sci-fi and how Hollywood had to mask its Soviet pedigree to have it accepted by Americans.

Michael_Elliott Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965) * 1/2 (out of 4) Silly AIP film about a group of scientists in 2020 landing on Venus and finding strange dinosaur like creatures. As to be expected, this film has a very small budget, which really hurts the film because it's certainly trying to be something bigger than it actually can be. The low budget makes for some very bad special effects and none of the stock footage helps the film as it just makes it look even cheaper. The film is also way too talky with none of the dialogue being very interesting. Basil Rathbone appears in the film but it's rather sad seeing him have to do junk like this.
