I like how they started with Michael in distress then flip back to tell the story from the start. It puts an edge on.


It does indeed.

Quite a mix of ages on this trip. Most SF voyages are exclusively for the young.

I like the dancing

Futuristic dance music isn't terribly inspiring.

Dancing yes, music no.

And the women aren't screaming, stupid or any of the usual stuff

Is this where it all goes wrong?

Such a pity they don't have a telepath aboard to warn them against boarding apparent derelicts...

These really are great effects for 1963/4 (depending on which version one is seeing).

Aluminium, but not transparent aluminium ...

I think '63 must be the original in Czech.

I was thinking along these lines...but it seems not.

Other than the scientific ignorance, which is to be expected, this is a great film.

It would be hard to be anything other than fictional science. We know and can do so little.

Is the original title, Ikarie, anything to do with Icarus?

You know what I mean. And we can do anything we decide to (more's the pity).

The Ikarie is the name of their ship and ironically translates to the ill-fated Greek figure “Icarus.” (from Film School Rejects)

Good thinking, Anne!
