WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Tom Dooley This was made by the Children's Film Foundation, an organisation that made films and serials for Saturday Morning Cinema clubs. I was lucky enough to be able to go to a few when I were a lad but never saw this and so it is great that it has been remastered and released.The plot is that a British scientist has built a rocket ship to go to Venus, but some people do their best to thwart the launch and what they find on Venus could be the end of civilisation as we know it – mwaaah!! To say any more could ruin the fun.Now this is eight episodes long and they have left in all the end of show teasers for the next instalment, that you would see when you would be slurping your Kia Ora multi glow Orange drink. It is all god clean fun too and they always had a bit of education in them that some may find naive given the passage of time. I feel it has retained its charm and warmth and was a real joy to watch.

nphill This was an eight-part childrens serial, made by the Childrens Film Foundation in England. They made films specifically for Saturday Morning Cinema Clubs in the 50's,60's and 70's. As a result these films rarely turn up on t.v or video and sadly, remain mostly forgotten except by those who attended. This particular offering tells of two children who's father has built a rocket. Escaping from some sinister Men in Black (Complete with ray guns), they blast off into space only to land on Venus. From a rather neat first few episodes it becomes a bit of a tedious run around concerning the "Flash Gordon" style Venusians. The special effects are low-budget, but as good as any 50's B movie. The story is very simplistic, and with episode titles like "Lost in Space," and "The Thing in the Crater",it has enough charm to satisfy the nostalgics,
