Best described as an early 80s Eastern European space-prog album high on sugary breakfast cereal, Heavy Metal magazine, Hanna-Barbera cartoons and 8-bit arcade games like Galaxian and Asteroids, all of these elements will give you some idea of the otherworldly weirdness of the Romanian animated sci-fi film DELTA SPACE MISSION. In the year 3084, Alma, a Modigliani-esque alien journalist with blue-green skin, boards a state-of-the-art spacecraft named Delta whose highly advanced computer brain develops a mad teenage crush on her with disastrous results.

Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 04/22/2022
The story in “Delta Space Mission” matters less than the trippy vibe, which is enhanced greatly by a dreamy Călin Ioachimescu synthesizer score. Go to Full Review

Watching Delta Space Mission unfold is a bit of a psychedelic experience. Even moments of stillness have an air about them that hints more at underlying vivacity that constantly builds rather than a sense of calm. Go to Full Review

It animates monsters of stone, water, and electricity to capture her, till she flees to the psychedelic swamp world Acora, where if the pursuing Superbrain doesn’t kill ya, the local flora and fauna will. Go to Full Review

In many ways, Delta Space Mission is exactly the kind of movie for which animation was invented. Go to Full Review

Logan D 11/11/2023 In the year 3084, an advanced AI spacecraft falls for a green skinned journalist. Romania's first animated feature, it clearly draws inspiration from 2001 A Space Odyssey and Ralph Bakshi. Many of the backgrounds are highly detailed and I loved the usage of colors. A psychedelic visual feast with synth music that could have only have derived from the 80s. See more Read all reviews
