About
Working from a dullish source — a novel by the Soviet sci-fi eminence Aleksandr Kazantsev — director Klushantsev overpowers the party-line dialogue with excellent effects. Upon arrival to Venus, cosmonauts find furious volcanoes and sundry prehistoric beasts (a cackling, swooping pterodactyl is most memorable).” -Robert Skotak
NOTE: Large portions of the film were cannibalized by producer Roger Corman to make VOYAGE TO A PREHISTORIC PLANET (1965, Curtis Harrington) and later, VOYAGE TO THE PLANET OF PREHISTORIC WOMEN (1966, Peter Bogdanovich), a version which included additional scenes with Mamie van Doren.
