This movie is neither highly regarded by critics nor IMDB voters.
Yet, it contains some striking visuals; thoughtful comments on the "human" condition; an attractive, multiracial, coed international cast daring for the time ; and a pretty good storyline, to boot. Excavators at the site of the mystery explosion in Tunguska, Siberia, discover evidence that the explosion was the destruction of an alien spaceship. Evidence includes a "memory spool. Before translation can be completed, an international crew is assembled and an enormous nuclear powered spaceship constructed a stunningly beautiful piece of matte work for a flight to Venus, first spaceship on venus download torrent.
The ship begins its voyage before the on-board linguist makes a startling announcement. First spaceship on venus download torrent memory spool contains plans for a Venusian invasion of earth! The ship lands on a eerie, vapor-cloaked Venus Striking art direction; just how did they do those strange, microbe-like vapors?
The crew discovers, a burned out, uninhabitable planet. The Venusians, apparently attempting an invasion to escape either overcrowding or an impending nuclear war, have destroyed themselves, leaving only the shadows of their disintegrated bodies.
Further exploration discovers a strange, living amoeba-like organism and a damaged, super-gravity beam weapon aimed toward earth. Many members of the crew are lost, and the ship is eventually first spaceship on venus download torrent back to earth by the accidental discharge of the gravity beam.
The movie IS choppy, without a doubt because the American distributor, Crown International, cut the film by over one half hour.
I'd certainly LOVE to see the excised footage; however, since the film is East German, I doubt if a complete print still exists.
Besides, we Americans are having enough trouble finding obscure fifties and sixties from ENGLISH-speaking countries, including our own. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. mstomaso 19 May The amazing imaginative fiction author Stanislaw Lem wrote this visually stunning East German space exploration film with a dated but still thoughtful message. The Sets of Der Schweigende Stern are detailed and beautiful - giving the film an amazingly alien feel.
The cinematography varies from excellent to mediocre, and the visual effects are cleverly done - relying on actual props and set devices as opposed to split screen and blue or green screen first spaceship on venus download torrent photography.
Lem's plot is poignant and well-paced, but, unfortunately, most of the acting in this film is a bit difficult to watch. Finally, the overuse of voice-over narration in the early part of the film detracts from its otherwise good artistic and technical merit.
The story begins with the discovery that, inan extraterrestrial space vehicle crash landed on earth. An electronic recording from the ship is recovered and linguists set about trying to decode its message.
An international team of scientists, astronauts and engineers who are scheduled to undertake a manned flight to Mars are then diverted to Venus to make contact with the Venusians. On the way, they decipher the electronic "cosmic document" and learn that the Venusians were planning to attack the earth using nuclear warheads. To venture further in the plot would involve spoilers. This is a film full of mysteries, and a film of its time - near the height if the cold war, first spaceship on venus download torrent.
A powerful point concerning the proliferation of nuclear arms is well made in this film, though it is perhaps the only truly predictable aspect of the plot. Lem's plot heavy brand of highly imaginative science fiction is very dense reading and often carries similar ethical messages, but rarely translates well into visual media.
This is a worthy effort, first spaceship on venus download torrent, maintaining the slightly wild and surreal feel of Lem's aesthetics and yet driving forward the film's plot at an entertaining pace. Recommended for Lem fans, serious sci-fi film fans, and those interested in the connection first spaceship on venus download torrent film and the social history of ideas. Unfortunately for Der Schweigende Stern, the average movie fan won't be able to handle this one.
Mort 8 December Recently shown at the Viennale Filmfestival, this movie one of only five East German sci-fi films was spoken of rather than of a trashy museal antique stuffed with communist ideology. I had thought it would be about the quality of Plan 9 first spaceship on venus download torrent Outer Space, so I was surprised to discover that First Spaceship on Venus is not at all trashy!
A lot of money seems to have been invested in the design of the mysterious landscape on venus and the spacecraft. The technical effects look highly professional! As regards ideology, one can't make out more than a slightly pathetic call for peace in the world which is perfectly agreeable, first spaceship on venus download torrent, really and a casual remark on how well Soviet astronomy is developed. The crew of the spaceship, though, includes an American and a Japanese as well, so it is openly international.
The moment the spacecraft starts, however, the science-fiction story stands in the foreground. It was written by Stanislaw Lem and is therefore quite interesting, shocking and full of suspense - another aspect I wouldn't have expected to get in a film like that.
Of course, the acting is stiff, dialogues are reduced to a necessary minimum and the romantic element in the plot is too weak to be convincing. Probably, the screenwriters have removed most of the depth of Lem's original novel. Nevertheless, the whole film manages to evoke Kubrickesque feelings at times note that it was made before A Space Odyssey! and serves as an interesting historical document but also as good sci-fi fun on a Sunday afternoon. csdietrich 17 February FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS aka "The Silent Star" was a collaborative effort between film studios in East Germany and Poland and picked up by Crown-International Pictures for a US release.
Far ahead of its time FSOV delivers the pacifist message in no uncertain terms. An international crew lands on the planet Venus to discover that a war has completely destroyed its inhabitants, first spaceship on venus download torrent. First spaceship on venus download torrent landscapes are surrealistic and wonderous to behold and the spaceship itself gets my vote as the coolest cinematic craft of all time.
Englewood Entertainment once again has delivered a flawless print of this film and is available in VHS or on DVD and is letterboxed at proper aspect ratio. The film is a bit slow even at its 78 minutes originally it ran at minutes!
This critic would love to see the uncut version someday. Superior sci-fi from the Eastern Bloc! jake 26 February This movie suprised me. I thought I was going to see a cheesy old science fiction movie. But this movie, for its time, is actually really good.
The special effects are pretty impressive for a film this old, and I love the design of the spaceship. I have no idea what kind of budget this movie was done on, but there are a lot of scenes in this movie that look BIG budget! The sets are very impressive, lavish and expansive. And the enviornment of Venus is detailed, spooky, and bizarre. I didn't care for the little plastic spiders, I thought that was distractingly goofy.
I was very suprised to first spaceship on venus download torrent such a forward thinking and racially diversified cast. For its time, such diversity was totally unheard of. Its a little long and slightly boring, but for good old fashioned sci fi, with cool alien landscapes and bizarre spaceships, this is a must see. Thats why I am rating this movie fairly high, giving it an 8. An artifact from the planet Venus is found buried on Earth, and scientists learn that the object is the log of an alien spacecraft which crashed.
After attempts to contact the Venusian civilization are unsuccessful, a multi-national and multi-racial flight to Earth's sister planet first spaceship on venus download torrent launched. When the expedition arrives on Venus they find a dead world whose civilization has been destroyed by some kind catastrophe. The story contains good ideas, but the plot seems to race along with no regard for dramatic timing or narrative clarity, undoubtedly because of the thirty minutes of footage which were removed from the American version.
The obvious dubbing is a major distraction, first spaceship on venus download torrent, and the sound effects are garish and unappealing. For some reason, there are very few shots of the rocket traveling through space during the voyage.
Generally speaking, the special effects run hot and cold. The spaceship itself, however, is a beauty both the interior and exteriorrivaling the best rockets for the s. The little robot is memorable and well designed it looks like a miniature tank. The exterior shots of the strange Venusian surface are imaginative, with superimposed wisps of vapor constantly drifting past. Listen for several segments of music borrowed from "Destination Moon" and "This Island Earth".
Since this movie was covered fairly early on by the MST crew along with "Rocketship XM" and "King Dinosaur"my initial perception of this movie was something on the lines of 'Ehhhh, pretty cheesy', although it was clearly one of the better films they covered.
Undoubtedly I saw the chopped up 93 minute version, instead of the longer, more coherent original version mentioned by other reviewers. However, first spaceship on venus download torrent, I saw a standalone DVD edition on sale at a clearance store and picked it up for a couple of bucks on some obscure impulse, and one fine evening I gave it a spin.
You know in spite of the dated message and foreign cultural references and the problematic dubbing and "Engrish" translations, "1st Spaceship To Venus" does have a certain quality about it that I've come to respect. There's a certain gravity and solemnity to the proceedings, first spaceship on venus download torrent. There's a certain wildness and inventiveness to the art direction and the sound design, first spaceship on venus download torrent.
And while none of the actors here are going to win any awards or even by remembered by American audiencesif you pay attention you will see humane, approachable performances undercut by poor dubbing that make the film much more watchable than glib junk like "Rocketship XM" or space flight oriented stuff out of the Roger Corman sausage factory.
When I first saw "1st Spaceship", I had the impression that it definitely had an East European vibe to it, and the only Slavic speculative fiction author I was familiar with was Stanislaw Lem whose best known work is probably "Solaris", although my favorite piece is "Non Serviam". Sure enough, this movie turns out to be based on a Lem piece from decades back.
