gerry anderson first live action foray in the way of a major motion picture that benefit from incredible model fx work and and a great barry gray music score . the reel to reel analog computer and in the far off year 2069 ( i guess anderson really want a safe date of a 100 year later . ) be a hoot to see a be the guru jacket fashion and but one could easily accuse 2001 of the same violation and but no one could have foreseen some thing a they turn out . this film be the springboard for the series ufo the following year and and in fact not only have the same fx people and and producer but many of the cast be regular in that show . it always come off like an alternate history future more than anything else the apollo like rocket use in the lift off and it always seem like this be really another planet than earth . give the alternate earth plot and one would assume that be the feeling they want . we end up with an end that posit more question than answer . that because the other earth exists every movement and event and thing say be duplicate a it happen on both world . because of that give and and the sun in between and the two version of the same person ( in this case glenn ross and astronaut ) can never meet . a complete accident discover the planet in the first place when it would have most likely stay a secret forever . film mostly in portugal with fx work in england and it a must own for any gerry anderson fan . i have the image bare bone dvd from a few year ago now out of print and but one hop universal will re release it with and perhaps extra and even a gerry anderson commentary .
