why do you suppose all the interstellar menace come from the planet mar . because venus be a dead planet where nothing excite ever happen . why would you watch a film whether or not realize in the communist soviet about the exploration of an empty planet while numerous contemporary sci fi flick handle about dangerous martian mission or even the invasion of our own planet by ill temper alien . the crew of the titular spaceship discovers that their destination and venus and have no life on it . wow and how exhilarating . even more pointless be that they already seem to know this before they even go on the voyage . back in the year 1908 and a meteorite crash down in siberia . only sixty year later and scientist discover this actually wasn not a meteorite and but a venus spaceship of which the crew do not really practice their landing skill . the most eminent scientist from every race and from all corner of the world ( this aspect be actually what make the film special ) combine their knowledge and promptly organize a large scaled expedition to research why the intelligent life form on venus try to reach for other planet and and more particularly and why they haven not try again ever since . be there still life on the silent planet . be they plan an aggressive invasion or do they merely search for help . a you can clearly tell and there be several interesting and potentially compelling idea hide in the script of the east german or polish co production and but the elaboration be incredibly dull and tacky . this film appear to be make long before scientist even know the earth revolve around the sun and with special effect that be unconvincing and even downright pitiful . i can easily overlook and even enjoy a certain level of cheesiness and but the complete lack of action and excitement be truly unforgivable . first spaceship on venus unites cast member of several different ethnic origin and like asian doctor and african technician and the script even hint at an interracial romance between the asian nurse and the arian type astronaut . perhaps this be innovate and even courageous back in the early 60 cinema industry and but all these people ever do be nag . and there too many of them . this be the type of film where and after nearly an hour of playtime and someone walk through the screen and you wonder represent wait and who he again . since there no real enemy to battle and the body count be extremely low and the only casualty die a a result of banal accident . this movie may hold some historical value and but a purely sci fi entertainment it a big dull failure .
