First Spaceship To Venus 1959



It's a Polish-German picture and it shows. Lousy acting, dialogue, dubbing and effects. Need I say more? Not too bad a plot and kind of a neat looking rocketship.

Something really did explode in Tunguska, Siberia in 1908. Theories range from a comet to a flying saucer. These guys go for the flying saucer gig.

The year is 1985 and a cylinder containg a message is found that seems to have come from the above mentioned blast. Everyone's certain it originated from Venus even though the message has not been translated yet.

A motley crew is hastily put together and shot off to Venus to check the joint out. The message is finally translated while they are still on their way to the planet and, darn-it-all, if it ain't a battle plan to wipe out all life on Earth so the evil bastards can take over.

Brazenly our heros push onward to the surface only to discover that the dopey Venusians have killed themselves off with the very same machine that they planned to use on us. Cool huh?

While on Venus the good guys pass through some of the dumbest sets I've ever had the pleasure to view. One place looks like they're in the middle of a field with old fasioned telephone recievers hanging from the sky. There's some mild, and I mean very mild, excitement when a few of them are chased up a ramp by some gooey slimy crapola.

The spaceship is inadvertently launched back into space due to a gravity screw-up leaving three of the crew behind.

If I was you I'd pass on this turkey.
