Wordiezett So much average

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

JLRVancouver Before the Kardashians (yes Virginia, there was such a time), there were the Gabor sisters, a trio of minimally talented*, much married Hungarian sisters with a flair for self-promotion. The most chutzpahtic of the three was undeniably Zsa Zsa, who brings her iconic Hungarian accent to the Planet of Love in "Queen of Outer Space". Briefly, a crew of Earth's astronauts are knocked off course by a mysterious beam and land on Venus, which is populated by lovely, leggy lassies ruled by the titular despot. The film is fun in a goofy, nostalgic way (remember 'lady driver' jokes?) with sufficient sexist comments to infuriate the most stoic SJW. Zsa Zsa (who allegedly was unimpressed with being surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women half her age), plays Talleah, part of a revolution against the masked queen who is planning to destroy the Earth. Special effects are a mixed bag: there are some great props borrowed from earlier, bigger-budget films and a cool 'flat screen TV', yet much time is spent running from a beeping spotlight and, as a spiritual antecedent to the 'Death Star', the 'beta disintegrator', is underwhelming. If your expectations are low, "Queen of Outer Space" is an enjoyable space-romp, with lots of pretty girls, a "Star Trek TOS" aesthetic, campy dialogue, and one of the least convincing giant spiders ever put on film. As an added bonus, you can snigger with your friends when the gorgeous Venusian says to the amorous astronaut "We don't really need any more wood". (*to be honest, I actually think Eva Gabor was great in "Green Acres").

Scott LeBrun In the "future" year of 1985, a team of astronauts - Captain Neal Patterson (Eric Fleming), Lieutenant Mike Cruze (Dave Willock), and Lieutenant Larry Turner (Patrick Waltz) - undertake a mission to escort eminent scientist Professor Konrad (Paul Birch) to the space station that Konrad helped devise. A strange beam destroys the station, and envelops their spacecraft, forcing it to crash land...somewhere. It turns out that they've landed on Venus, where the population is made up entirely of women. They're led by the man-hating, crazed villainess Queen Yllana (Laurie Mitchell). Fortunately, not every woman is on the Queens' side, and a few brave women try to help the men escape, including gown wearing Venusian scientist Talleah (none other than Zsa Zsa Gabor).Fans have debated for years as to whether this was INTENDED to be a parody of science fiction or not. As it is, it's a campy delight: colourful entertainment shot in CinemaScope, with some amusing sets and special effects. (There's also one hell of a hilariously unconvincing alien spider.) It's also hard for any red blooded male to knock any movie that puts such sexy costumes on its attractive female cast. You have to hand it to the Venusians for rocking those miniskirts. It takes quite a while to really get underway, as the "opening" credits don't start until a 15 minute prologue is over. Quite a novelty for 1958. The story - credited to Ben Hecht, of all people - inspired a screenplay by Charles Beaumont that never passes up an opportunity for a sexual joke.Other than the rather dispirited looking Fleming, our male leads look content with the arrangement, and you can't blame them. The performances suit the material, with Zsa Zsa having a bit of a wink in her eye, and Mitchell going delightfully over the top as the antagonist of the piece. Mitchells' character, and others, wear masks that have you really interested to know what they look like underneath. The revelation is effective."Good" fun for fans of 1950s sci-fi.Seven out of 10.

dsewizzrd-1 Zsa Zsa Gabor, like all women, is from Venus in this mercifully short science fiction film that is determinedly Z grade in dialogue and production budget despite being filmed expensively in colour Cinemascope.A group of astronauts in 1985 go on a routine mission to a space station and end up in Venus. The planet is controlled by a woman leader and a "posse" (snigger) of healthy young girls with legs up to their backsides, but still strangely non – sexual in that way they are in old American films. That's except the leader who is a bit of a minger. Oh I don't know though, apart from the face the rest of her is all right. I think Americans must eat too much processed meat. The robot like acting of Gabor doesn't add much to the razor thin plot, I only give it five stars because it's science fiction and hilariously misogynistic.Just a point - this is not a parody or a joke, it's a straightforward light entertainment program of the era. There were dozens of these sort of programs made for radio and television, all with the same sort of dumb aw-shucks jokes and mindless sexism.

AaronCapenBanner Zsa Zsa Gabor stars(but does not play the title character!) in this unbelievably stupid, poorly made science fiction film(a failed satire of the genre?) A manned spaceship flight to Venus finds it populated exclusively by beautiful women, under the reign of tyrannical queen Yllana, who hates men, and was responsible for leading the revolt against them, exiling the survivors to a penal colony on the moon. Some Venusian women want the men back, and so team up with the astronauts to take down the queen, and stop her from destroying the Earth with a "super weapon" as well. May be good for some camp value, but that is all this turkey is worth.
