★★★★★ · Their space motivations are space confusing · chriskemila · 2011-02-21
This movie made me laugh a bunch. The alternate edit titled Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet has less washed out film stock with better color but is not nearly as funny.
★★★★ · Great, great movie · yukon_joan · 2015-03-23
Really, really enjoyed this. . . . a few scenes in and I was thinking Hairstyles - Vergee - gotta be. Looking through the credits . . . Hairstyles - Vergee. Nuff said ppl? . . . think so :|
★★★★ · What made me do it, by Peter Bogdanovich · ineuw · 2009-07-13
Peter: I needed the money desperately, and the director's position, regardless of the film, suited me perfectly. After all, I just started out. Let's face it, this is among the campiest, funniest sci-fi films ever produced. It's a gem. However, if you wish to watch it, sit on the floor or close to it, so that you don't hurt yourself when falling down from laughter. Just take it for what it is, as any criticism is irrelevant because the film eloquently speaks for itself. Rather than downloading it, I watched it 10 minutes at a time, and missed nothing when I continued after lengthy…
★★★★ · Fun to Watch · AdamIII · 2021-03-18
Pretty good visual effects for the time.
★★★ · Pathecolor · Campfire · 2007-10-18
In its defense, Pathecolor was NOT, as is sarcastically described here, color tinted black and white film. It was a major Eastmancolor-based process used in many films over the decades and often looked stunning. The color tinting in this film is simply because the original Russian movie was black and white and American distributors wanted a color release. Thus the Russian scenes were tinted, and the new footage was in color. The full-color sequences have just faded over time, as most Eastmancolor has.
★★★ · Worth a Look, Barely · b11761500s · 2006-04-06
I am glad I watched it. Lots of strange, bizarre science and movie making. Low budget for sure. No Oscar nominations here. But if your expectations are not too high, it is a charming unbelievable romp through the early years of what space travel was thought to include.
