Nonureva Really Surprised!

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Scott LeBrun An international team of astronauts is dispatched to the planet Uranus. It seems that the U.N. has been receiving radiation signals from the seventh planet, so these brave men have the task of exploring and determining the cause of this signal. They land to find a strange environment where an all-powerful alien intelligence has the power to turn the thoughts of man into reality. Fortunately, since these men often have women on the brain, a succession of beautiful babes materialize, to entice and confuse them.This could have and should have been more fun. Alas, it's not that enjoyable, because even if one approaches it as a "so bad it's good" schlock production, it doesn't work that well because it's basically too dull. Sidney W. Pink (who also wrote the screenplay with the famed writer Ib Melchior) isn't much of a director, because he brings no energy and a fatally slow pace to these proceedings. The women, including Greta Thyssen...as Greta...and Ann Smyrner as Ingrid, provide some appreciable eye candy, but the acting from most everybody concerned is atrocious. Starring actor John Agar, playing Captain Don Graham, has some fun playing a cheerfully sleazy guy, but his talents alone can't spark much life into this movie.At the very least, "Journey to the Seventh Planet" can boast what are reasonably amusing visuals given the obvious cheapness of the production, and a priceless one eyed rat monster, which sadly isn't on screen for very long. The evil alien antagonist is likewise a hoot. Also, this has a rather lengthy (and innovative) closing credits sequence for a movie of this age, accompanied by a silly theme song.If you're a dedicated sci-fi junkie, you might want to give this one a look, but you're advised to go in not expecting very much.The pronunciation of the name Uranus here is funny; whether or not the filmmakers wanted their audience to keep from snickering is uncertain, but this approach backfires.Five out of 10.

fedor8 What irony: humans finally visit 'Anus, but instead of getting analy probed, they get their minds probed; not that there was much worth probing in the empty heads of the five astro-noughts. Of course, the whole mind-probe shtick was just an excuse to have the astro-noughts meet some girls on Uranus. In spite of realizing that the girls are mirages conceived to throw them off, the alien mind-game trick works EVERY time… All I can say is thank God that the likes of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin weren't sex-obsessed penis-thinkers, otherwise humanity would never have landed on the Moon – because the astronauts would have been too busy masturbating to land properly."The year is 2001… All of Earth is under the control of the United Nations." Scary thought, huh? Fortunately, this little movie about the trip to Uranus had very little clairvoyant power.I love how the astro-nils get their mission orders only once they're well away from Earth. Sort of like a long-distance runner being informed on the 11th kilometer that he will be doing a Marathon. Or a 17th-century explorer being told in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that his goal will be to find an island with large turtles. OK, maybe this 2nd analogy is a bit daft, but you must forgive me, for I have just sat through 70 minutes of pure B-movie cheese, and much like Agar I feel as if thoughts are starting to come rarely and with some difficulty.Once the standard voice-over intro is over, the stereotypical sci-fi B-movie introduces us to the astronomically dumb astronauts – and what an introduction it is: John Agar lets his fellow crew members know that he is extremely horny at all times – which is when we find out that unquenched sexual appetite is the film's primary, main, and only theme. Never mind space-exploration, Agar's tiny mind is firmly under the control of Agar's throbbing penis, much as this sad future world is totally under the control of the vapid UN. To further confirm the viewer's suspicion that Agar is – quite fittingly – the dumbest crew member in a crew of ninnies, he actually uses the strange predicament they're in to get laid! His boss tells him that they're all hallucinating, that they're under the influence of an alien force, that the girls he meets aren't real - but does that throw Agar off? Of course not; he simply uses this new knowledge/ability to materialize a former one-night stand for the ol' in-out. Apparently, in the far, far future in 2001 NASA prefers to hire astronauts who have the mind-set of 14 year-old teenage boys.If it were up to Agar, the astro-noughts would have stayed in their green Uranal surroundings and spent the rest of their days having sex with the mirages of their choice. But as it is, Agar doesn't call the shots, perhaps partly because he is so stupid that he doesn't even cry for help straight away when being sucked in by "quick-snow". The Captain saves his life – for whatever reason.The second-dumbest astro-nil is the Irish sidekick who rushes to eat an alien apple, throwing all caution to the wind. Bacteria shmacteria! But it's easy to throw caution like that when a wind had previously blown away the entire brain out of his head. So heavily stereotyped is our token Irishman that it only takes minutes for the subject of leprechauns to come up. What's to say: it's a friggin' B-movie!The Captain of the ship, while a little less childish than the others, is hardly an intellectual; after having faced the Cyclops dinosaur, he described it to the others as being "of the rodent family" which can mean one of two things: 1) either the species of rodent Cyclops had developed on Earth by the year 2001, or 2) the Captain has an F in Biology. (It's a coin toss!) Good thing he didn't comment on the plant-life too, otherwise we might have "learned" that the surrounding trees are all amphibian, or that the grass mates three times a year. The Captain exhibits rather sad deductive skills, too, when he makes plans to foil the alien being that is mind-probing them – while pathetically not realizing that the being must know the astro-noughts' intentions at all times. Stupidly, he goes to Ingrid, his Earth-love mirage, for consultation. Stupider yet, it works! She tells him all he wants to know. For some reason, the other mirage floozies aren't nearly as cooperative. Did the blob create Ingrid too perfectly? The alien's strategy is so simple… yet so utterly retarded: let the Earthlings know what they want to know, and always inform them of your evil schemes in ADVANCE. The Uranal Uranusian has no feet to speak of, but he sure knows how to shoot himself in the foot. In the end, this incredibly powerful Cyclops blob that can terra-form with the flick of a wrist is unable to outwit and beat five incredibly dumb astro-zeros. So dim-witted is the Captain that he brings along the mirage of Ingrid, his wife or whoever, for the return voyage. What was he planning to do once he landed back on Earth? Introduce the mirage Ingrid to the real Ingrid? Have a ménage-a-ingrid-trois?Even the title song will have you laughing, with its silly space sounds. If you're a fan of 60s space-cheese, as I am, you cannot miss this one. It doesn't raise the silliness bar, because many other flicks of this sort are even goofier, but at the very least it holds the bar on par with the other cheap-ass space turkeys of the Era.Two guys named Ib worked on this movie.Somebody here wrote that TJTTSP is impressive because it "predates SOLARIS by ten years". Never mind that "Solaris" was published a year before this turkey was made.

AaronCapenBanner John Agar, who costarred with John Wayne in John Ford directed films, then became a staple in Universal Studios Sci-Fi films of the '50's, now finds himself playing Capt. Don Graham, who leads a UN expedition to explore the hostile planet Uranus, and discovers a strange place where they seem to encounter people from their past, only to discover that a giant pulsating brain is behind it all, and must be defeated if they are to escape, and save the Earth.Denmark produced film is a bit better than "Reptilicus"(the same director) but is still a tacky and silly film. If filmed in black & white as an episode of "The Twilight Zone", this might have worked, but at feature length it's a bust.

Mikel3 Just watched 'Journey to the Seventh Planet on Amazon Prime Video. I have a soft spot for 50s and early 60s scifi. I enjoyed it but it's probably not for everyone. The special effects and needle like ship design are dated. Poor John Agar was in so many of these films that were never a hit. Still it was fun because it reminds me of seeing these movies at the theater when I was a boy. I couldn't get enough of them. The plot was offbeat and I like that, something different than the usual. I laughed at the beginning when they said the year was 2012 and we had traveled to most of the planets in our solar system. Boy were we optimistic in those old movies. The ending was a bit abrupt but made sense. Then they went into a closing credits song about the seventh planet (Uranus) and romance (no bad puns please). The song playing during the end credits sounded like something from a 60s nightclub act. I give it a 4 out of 10 rating because of the nostalgia.
