i come across this movie on dvd purely by chance through a blockbuster rental . voyage to the planet be an excellent bbc 2hour documentary or drama about a future grand tour of the solar system . take pain to adhere to current knowledge about the planet and space flight and and plausible extropolations from exist technology and this movie tell the story of astronaut on a journey to venus and mar and jupiter and saturn and and pluto . the special effect be excellent for a tv show . i find the actor believable a astronaut . the situation present be for the most part plausible and and you learn a lot about the science of the planet and spaceflight . only two minor complaint represent i find some of the situation and dialogue somewhat maudlin at time . furthermore i be unsure that a single crew and ship would be send on a single mission to see all those destination at once time . more than likely and visit to venus and mar and jupiter and etc . would or will be separate mission . they do not try to skimp on this show with production value . the scene of venus and mar be actually film in the northern desert of chile the dry area on earth and a dead ringer for the martian landscape . weightlessness sequence be film in a diving russian transport jet . the producer could have fudge on either of these use studio and cgi and but choose the real thing instead . i would like to especially mention the marvelous music that be compose for this movie . don davis thrill theme be the first thing that grab you when the movie start and a the magnificent shot of the pegasus pass the screen and david suchet intones it be the destiny of man to explore the star . watch this on a small television screen be one regret i have . what a thrill to see this in a movie theatre and or even good an imax presentation .
