Vincent A fantastic hidden treasure from the days when movies were done thoughtfully with purpose and depth, not only profit. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Very weird and stylish scifi movie that was far ahead of its time. Pretty naive but still a cool retro trip! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Or 'Ikarie XB 1'. If you can accept the rudimentary special effects, this is a genuinely fascinating Czech space thriller. A manned mission to Alpha Centauri is interrupted by a signal from an apparently deserted satellite, and some time later two astronauts who have been working on the outside of the Ikarie are struck down with radiation poisoning and the remaining crew succumb to a deep sleep. The film anticipates several better known sci-fi efforts, such as Alien, 2001, Solaris and Silent Running, but has a quality and seriousness entirely of its own. Crisp B&W photography and a very effective electronic score add immeasurably. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This Soviet-era USSR science-fiction movie feels like a slow-paced Star Trek : The Original Series episode. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member A fiilm more important for what the script postulates than anything else. Low budget Czech SF film dealing with the problems of interstellar travel. Its influences can be seen from 2001 to Interstellar. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Tro inte på alla hipsters som hävdar att det här är ett gammalt scifi-mästerverk: det är det inte. En scen är snygg, stämningsfull och halvläskig. Möjligen är det också intressant att studera de kommunistiska propaganda-inslagen. I övrigt är det här en sövande film med många och långa scener med prat, ätande, dans och ännu mera prat. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
