Gerry Anderson’s slightly psychedelic cinema outing is an engaging sci-fi curiosity with a few road-bumps…

Though it doesnt bear comparison to Kubrick or Tarkovsky, its still an interesting journey with many rewards…

The landing goes disastrously wrong, and our two injured astronauts find themselves stranded on the new world.

Except that it seems to resemble the old world rather too much.

Theyre on Earth!.

Extras:A great disappointment, as there are none beyond the trailer.

A commentary from Gerry Anderson would have been very welcome, along with a documentary or out-take footage.
