i be also a sf buff and among other genre and and i especially like those film from 60 and 70 with their idea over effect premise that produce so many intelligent and likable story put on screen . in a nutshell i completely agree with scott 886 review of this movie . i heard of this film and and be what i previously mention and a 60 and 70 sf buff and with a penchant for sf story with touch of the twilight zone and i expect a lot and and my expectation be heighten with review rank the effect of this movie second best to kubrick 2001 space odyssey . what a fraud . journey to the far side of the sun and be ordinary and convolute and half baked and silly look film and with laughable amateur special effect ( and remember i love film from that era and despise cgi ) and and it can be fully compare more to 60 sf disaster such a marooned and which journey very much remind me of . the idea behind it all be not that bad and but build the plot on a story of a twin planet to earth and on which the same world be invert and ask for a master like kubrick to direct . needle to say robert parish be nothing like that and so he deliver boring and silly movie and that look and felt like a matinée tv series of those day . not worth waste your time on and even if you be an absolute fan of the genre .
