Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique [I]t is tempting to dismiss "The Silent Star" as an ambitious failure...however, a glimmer of noble intent shines through... Aug 30, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Rick M An early Star Trek contemporary. Not bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Georgan G A decent film from the 50 DVD SciFi Collection, disc 8. Various versions made for audiences in America, Japan & Europe. The drama is about human ability to create powerful weapons & machines, but inability to control them. The spaceship to Venus learns how A-bombs killed the Venusians. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review robert p A Lost Masterpiece of science fiction, Back then they took this Movie as far as they could with limited special effects! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member soooo campy. i loved the "stop. we don't need anymore baggage on the ship" line. it was kind of in your face with the whole atomic bomb message.. it didn't even try to be metaphoric. crazy germans. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting sci-fi flick from East Germany, based on a story by Stanislaw Lem. Has lots of camp value, but also some serious moments. I watched the original German version (not the dubbed American one). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
