It's marvelous that they lasted alive on the surface of Venus. Anything that's been landed there from Earth has only lasted a short time. The ancients thought the planet was heaven but in reality it is he'll.
Spoiler alert, I'm talking about First Spaceship On Venus. The year 1950 set a high bar in the space exploration Science Fiction movies with the documentery like, Destination Moon. Ten years later this 1960 movie was released and it was years ahead of the competition, that year. The same year saw, The Angry Red Planet. and Twelve to the Moon. I was twelve when I saw this in the theater. It was different, A foreign film. I had never seen an international cast before. The rocket looked super neat. The Venus landscapes with the swirling fog, was eerie. looking back I could not have know about the Interesting tie-in to the Russian blast. The film offers some advanced concepts for 1960, Crystals storing messages, Memory sticks, I did not get that as a kid. I did get, When the mud was chasing them up the ramp, that was scary, for a kid of the times. Imaginative use of sound and animation to create the "Nerve Center". was appropriately alien. And I felt bad about the Three left behind. It was not fair. This is a good print of it, shot originally in color. (agfacolor) although this print is clean, it could use a warmer color balance. Good to see this gem polished up.
It is well worth tracking down the full length, widescreen original version, THE SILENT STAR, in the original language. This version is absolutely unwatchable by comparison.
The international crew make up is interesting in that the situation/acting is some what odd. In a good way , just seems odd to me. Makes me evaluate the movie more , how all fits together. Interesting movie!
This is a re edited and cut version of a Polish and German production of The Silent Star (1960). The movie was shot in widescreen and had a stereo soundtrack. The German uncut version is much better.
Alien data storage disk that is still usable and can be deciphered-believable. Spaceship, robot, aliens on Venus-believable. UN Space Agency-OK, enough is enough. That's completely unbelievable.
Very thoughtful and interesting movie for its time! This is adapted from Stanislaw Lem's story, "The Astronauts". He was the best science fiction writer of his era!
Track down the original version, THE SILENT STAR in its original language. This print and dubbing is atrocious/the original is stunning. This is no way to really judge the film, so poorly transferred from the awkwardly dubbed, very poorly printed American release.
This movie is amazing, prophetic. It illustrates exactly what will happen if we don't listen to Alexandria ocasio-cortez! The sky is falling the sky is falling...lmao
Venus, did have bit of romance. special effects fantabuloso!!! Poor robot with tank treads went haywire, first operation on human. What was in that golf ball anyway?
You can tell this used to be a Black and white film...just look at their faces. they got white make-up all over and even around their neck to their hairline and the black guy got a shiny face. It had something to do with getting the actors to look right..in the black and white film. I don't know if it was the film that they used at the time or what, but the lighting had to be set up in a special way too. They had to get it just right for it to look good in black and white..in the old days. From what I was told and remember anyway. Also, this is the reason some folks were very upset at Ted Turner for colorizing the old films that he bought. They say he ruined them, because they look like this one here. But he didn't colorize the originals, he just simply made copies of the old originals, set them back in the archives and colorized the the new copies.
@@mjrussell414 I don't understand that. I thought I seen this movie in B&W before. What's with the white make up on their faces? It does look as though this was colorized. Perhaps I'm wrong about this particular movie. I may have jumped the gun on this one. If I'm wrong about this movie..sorry about that. But all the other things I have said about Ted Turner colorization techniques and process is true. However, I'll look into it and let you know.
I actually saw this when it first came out- my brother and I used to go watch all the sci-fi movies at the Circle Theatre in Tulsa- for 35 cents it was a good way to sit in air conditioning for a couple hours. This exactly how I remember it- that spaceship design was like a damned hood ornament, rendering it quite easy to remember... LOL
@@craigwall9536 Yea, I believe your right about it being in color originally. I must have got this mixed with another movie in mind. The white make-up threw me. And yes, that's true, most folks would do the same and go for the free A/C for those who could not stand the freaking heat anymore. lol The theaters were hip to that too. That's what brought in the customers during the summer.
This is a full color, widescreen movie, (shot on Agfacolor, I believe, but don't quote me). I have a copy of the original version, THE SILENT STAR, and it is stunning. Here it looks atrocious. A dupe negative was made of the original East German/Polish film and used to print this awful dubbed version for American audiences. (Crown International---see the company logo at the beginning---were noted for making horrible cheap movies, and importing from overseas and re-releasing films in the worst, cheapest possible way.)
I think most of the people in the film are speaking English, but the sound is out of sync with the speakers. I wouldn't mind if it was captioned or dubbed, but it appears the negative timing was off and was never corrected.. weird.
So, we are not alone in the solar system! And we have been looking at Mars for signs of life.? Perhaps now scientists will start looking and explore Venus. Although it seems they all speaking English. The actors look Russian and I think I see a Russian Meg jet
This is an East German/Polish film co-production. Unfortunately, badly dubbed, cut in length and very very poorly duped----contrasty and grainy---as well as altered from its widescreen format. Actually the original is quite breathtakingly beautiful and imaginative for its time, and worth tracking down under its original title, THE SILENT STAR, and original language. Some amazing designs on Venus, interesting perspective sets etc. Based on a novel by Stanislaw Lem, considered by many one of the greatest sf writers ever (wrote the novel SOLARIS, among many others).
Universal pictures background music used for their classic horror movies and Sherlock Holmes, I hear, with some additional tracks added, like during the opening credits. The (stock) music heard at the end I've heard in many other movies, even TV shows.
This movie is a 1960 East German/Polish color science fiction film based on the 1951 science fiction novel The Astronauts. It has had many titles and has been sliced up for different countries.
An ancient relic guiding humans to explore space. Hints of intended genocide. Alien race destroyed by their own weapon. Sounds vaguely familiar. I could not in good conscience recommend this movie.
13 mins in absolute fantastic writing with no room for excess baggage ok so 25 mins in I thinking if the black guy dies first I’m gonna die laughing! At movies end awesome subscribing now!
Station on the. Moon, but now we do have a space station 2017 . hyper sleep it's a good way to sleep but with out clothes on is a bit much. Cant contact earth for a warning, should send a email on a special band . really smart people have trouble with simple things. Really but there so smart. Is this really "brinkmen" that landed first.

Well, the movie was free to watch, I can listen to it when sleeping on the couch! (snicker)... Thanks for upload... Peace!
Back in the era when filmmakers still made movies for the joy of it... And DUBBED too--- COOL!
Yeah, now it’s just about the money and fame.
It's marvelous that they lasted alive on the surface of Venus. Anything that's been landed there from Earth has only lasted a short time. The ancients thought the planet was heaven but in reality it is he'll.
I like to fall asleep watching these timeless classics... Thanks!!!

Ivor Presents Black man was not photogenic back in those days.

My observation and evaluation is the attempt at showing advanced space flight and adventure , is interesting movie.
The international crew make up is interesting in that the situation/acting is some what odd. In a good way , just seems odd to me.
Makes me evaluate the movie more , how all fits together.
Interesting movie!

Good to know.
(so much better indeed)..
I saw the original.
Nice effects,for it's time
Wonderful!
DRONES!! amazing how many things futuristic movies get right.
Alien data storage disk that is still usable and can be deciphered-believable.
Spaceship, robot, aliens on Venus-believable.
UN Space Agency-OK, enough is enough. That's completely unbelievable.
Touché
That was 'Black Goo'. Look it up on the internet. It will scare the sh*t out of you.
Absolutely dire.
If we can wreck this Earth planet, maybe someday somebody will make a movie about how we earthlings destroyed ourselves. Boy are we dumb!
I’m anticipating the sacrificial black guy as part of the plot which was common.
Love it
Very thoughtful and interesting movie for its time! This is adapted from Stanislaw Lem's story, "The Astronauts". He was the best science fiction writer of his era!
Lots of criticism here, but I must say at least some very imaginative design and special effects. Pity about the dialog and screenplay.
Track down the original version, THE SILENT STAR in its original language. This print and dubbing is atrocious/the original is stunning. This is no way to really judge the film, so poorly transferred from the awkwardly dubbed, very poorly printed American release.
well made for the time period.
The greatest film in the history of cinema? Curse of the Swine-Beast! Zombies! Aliens! Monsters! Incest! Cross-dressing! Atomic bombs!
Just love classic sci fi movies. But why is everyone wearing big letters?
Yeah what's up with that?
"Then,... someone remembered....."
... that they had locked me inside the studio echo chamber...
This movie is amazing, prophetic. It illustrates exactly what will happen if we don't listen to Alexandria ocasio-cortez! The sky is falling the sky is falling...lmao
Hahaha
Nonsense.
@Q Anon I was responding to butch. I don't even see your last post.

Brandon Tenold? Have you reviewed and riffed this forgotten relic?

Did he say they found an alien stool and did it come from the space ship when the alien shit himself.
Venus, did have bit of romance. special effects fantabuloso!!! Poor robot with tank treads went haywire, first operation on human. What was in that golf ball anyway?

I like the A M team and the blob
Now I get it, "B" movie the "B"stands for Budget. With extra government cheese 😵😵😵

Interesting that Stanislaw LEM one of th scriptwriters

It wa a german polish movie with actors from multiple countries. So it can be assumed they would speak in their native languages and later be dubbed
Not so weird. It IS dubbed. These are the kind of movies I grew up on. Good to see someone dug this out of the B minus movie vault!

G. H. You sleep with clothes on?
They're not in "hyper-sleep", altho this resembles the suspended animation set up in the film ALIEN.

With this movie it's eather shit or shinola.
Have had .You're funny and I'm a LIBERAL!!!!
I just can’t watch this.
Did they have a contest to see who could make the worst movie
inaccurate

This is embarrassing to watch, even from 1960.
This film needs to be retitled "Gays in space".
Worst movie I have ever seen!
Obviously, you have not seen Plan 9 From Outer Space
You don't watch many movies, watch the movie "out" sometime. It makes this look like Stargate
Oh man you have a whole lot of worst movies yet to be seen.
8 minutes in and I can say it is pretty bad but I have seen any number that ae worse.
Found the German version. Haven't watched all of it yet but it is notably better than this "translation". Full screen for one thing.
