Journey to the Seventh Planet

I expected much worse, I wanted it to be fun. First time a film experience was ever spoiled by better than expected production values. For 1962 Denmark, this wasn't bad. The print I saw was pretty sharp and the colors were good. Special effects were about what youd expect.Kind of a lame role for John Agar, Id prefer him as a madman going space crazy and threatening the rest of the crew.Cerebral kind of story that you wouldn't expect from that era. Check out the vintage state of the art equipment, what was available then. I don't get the bizarre space helmets, they don't look functionable. Cool ending title song though. Its worth checking out for the nostalgic science fiction aficianados. Id like to see more antique 50s and 60s sci fi packaged on DVD
