Andromeda Nebula - 1967 - 5/10
AKA - Tumannost Andromedy // Туманность Андромеды
Turgid Soviet space opera.
A crew finds itself trapped on an “iron planet,” unable to escape the gravitational pull.
Meanwhile, back on Earth, scientists and the intelligentsia, debate, ponder, and rhapsodize about humanity,
Those guys are a drag.
Back on the iron planet, an invisible presence starts killing.
Sets are bad, optical effects interesting, costumes are glorified togas.
Characters spout highfalutin propaganda at will. Zzzzz.
I watched out of curiosity as the KGB banned the writer after this.
