Where now, the notion of intergalactic travel and distant civilisations are much less revolutionary.
And at the other end is a perfunctory story, diabolical dialogue, and painfully poor acting.
Its like a bizarre experiment has taken place where Fellini had been convinced to directCarry On Cleo.
When I first saw the movie, I was in a constant state of shock, I recall.
Actually, in Blesseds case, with the entire pig production of a major European country.
Some of the optical compositions with spacecraft are especially bad, having visible rough matt boxes and alignment issues.
In my distant memory, this is howFlash Gordonwas, and now on Blu-ray it is that way again.
Its a chromatic poke in the eye, but a welcome one, in this context.
Given the wealth of material that must exist for this production, thats a pretty poor showing.
