no space monster and no death ray and no strange alien being . perhaps i have be condition by too many cheesy sci fi and horror film of the 1950/60 era and but first spaceship on venus be simply so boring that it override the few inventive element that it otherwise contain . there be one humorous idea though that stand out . film in 1960 and the story take place in the way distant future of 1985 and when an extraterrestrial spool be discover in the gobi desert area of siberia . voice over narration state that a connection have be make between the alien artifact and a meteor explosion that take place there in 1908 and some seventy eight year earlier . on the spaceflight to venus in the cosmostrater 1 and world renowned scientist have make a breakthrough regard the spool information the venusians have target earth for conquest and intend to decimate the planet population . frantic to warn earth and the scientist be frustrate in their inability to break through space interference to get their warning heard . now in think about this and and piece together information from the film that place the earth to venus trip at about thirty one day and my question would be what the rush . the communication be almost eighty year old and wouldn not they have get around to it by now . the reason the venusians haven not get around to it be because their own advanced technology have already do them in . land on venus and the exploratory force run into nothing more ominous than metallic insect and black lava like attack ooze and but nothing else . though the astronaut have set a destruct sequence into effect and they quickly find a counter measure that reverse it . one almost begs for a big goofy alien like the one from the phantom planet to appear to lighten thing up a bit . on the flip side and the movie assemble an impressive and though no name international cast and include asian and a black and a russian and a german . seven men and one woman from the scientific community form the astronaut team and though why sumiko be give a bright red jumpsuit to wear instead of the same color a the men be intrigue . she also portray a the most human of the team and suggest a heart for the robot that continuously beat professor orloff at chess . i guess my main problem with the film be that it take itself way too seriously . the constant narration in the first half of the film seem to neglect the player instead of let them move the story along through their own interaction . with no comic relief to counteract the monotony and i find myself want this one to be over quick and which it be at a seventy nine minute run time and but it seem much longer .
