Corman used a Russion space film as the basis for this movie. Entertaining for it's time when spce flight was in it's infancy as there is a spce station and a trip to Venus. An obligatory robot. Creative but laughable giving ehat we know about Venus now.

an uninspired film pieced togethered by roger corman of scenes of russian film planeta burg with english duped in. very little mamie van doren scenes that were shot by first time director peter bogdanovich. director george lucas must of seen this film and got some of his ideas for star wars. the land shuttle reminds me of luke skywalker's and the robot walks similar to c3po and at it's end makes a sound just like r2d2. bogdanovich narrates and the movie begins with some impressive models of nasa's space vehicles circa 1967. the long shots of the models in space look kinda cool but the flying space ships in space looks like they are just moving the background and the prehistoric creatures look and move like men in rubber suits. mamie's and the girl's dialogue are thought transported and duped in. it doesn't even sound like mamie's voice. a disapointment!!Read full review
Because it is the original movie upon which this and voyage to the prehistoric planet were based, both have scenes from this film. I wanted to see the original.

Old Classic that Is not for everyone. If your looking for the latest CGI movie like Avitar, this is not it. REMEMBER this was made in the 60's, that's 50+ years ago, that's when a personal computer was the size of a house and could barely add 1 + 1, 8 tracks were Hip, and movies like this were cool and the neatest thing going. This opened the imagination in the latest movie making could. If your looking for an old flick to see how it all evolved, then this is a good one to watch. If your only into laser blasting CGI with breath taking 1080p Hi def keep looking,
