I had the opportunity to take a really good hard look at the Sci-Fi movies I haven’t seen yet. And I found this little gem that made me smile from ear to ear.

It’s called Journey to the Seventh Planet. Written and Directed by Sid Pink. This is a story of a group of UN Astronauts who go on a voyage to Uranus to find new life-forms in our galaxy. Once they are in orbit of Uranus they are paralyzed by some kind of ‘being’ that reads their thoughts, what they like and what they dislike. Once they awaken they have no idea how long they’ve been passed out or how long they’ve been floating around the planets orbit. Once they land they discover that everything seems very familiar. As if someone is controlling what they see. They find a force-field that is blocking them from really seeing what the real planet is like. This ‘being’ uses desirable women from these men’s past to halt them from their exploration. But they are smart and avoid temptations and figure out that there’s this large brain looking being controlling everything and they must destroy it to be able to leave the planet. Hahaha, doesn’t this movie sound great? I don’t want to go to anymore detail, its worth a watch and only clocks in at 77 minutes.

This is definitely one of those ‘it’s so bad it’s good’ type of movies. I swear this had to be on Mystery Science Theater. Half the movie is not in focus, the acting is terrible, this is a movie made in Denmark so the overdubbing is awful, and the special effects are laughable. But that is all okay in my book. Really made the movie enjoyable.

The spacesuits though, were really awesome. Blue with yellow helmets seemed really original to me. The helmets had these antennas so it made it look functional. They had these guns that were more like white-lghtning flame throwers. They were really skinny, and sounded like they didn’t pack a punch, but they got the job done. Oh, and I love how everything in the spaceship was analog. Love that, especially because this movie took place in the future…2001. I think they spent most of the budget on this crazy reptilian rodent with one eye. Some scenes from that sequence were really well done.

So watch this movie if you can. Great watch and available on Netflix on demand. Here is the trailer for your viewing pleasure:
