Strange happenings on Uranus
22 December 2004
Warning: Spoilers
I have just managed to acquire a VHS copy of Journey to the Seventh Planet and found this movie quite enjoyable, despite reading some bad reviews about it.

A party travelling on an expedition to Uranus discover a strange world and strange goings on when they land there. What each crew member thinks of appears, including beautiful women. A giant brain is the cause of all these strange happenings. We also see a strange cyclops-rat-dinosaur monster. After a couple of the crew are killed and the giant brain blown up, the party heads back to earth.

The cyclops monster is certainly strange looking and was done in stop-motion by Jim Danforth.

Apart from sci fi regular John Agar (Tarantula, Attack of the Puppet People), most of the cast are unknowns although Dainish actor Carl Ottosen appeared in Reptilicus.

This movie is worth a look at, just for that cyclops monster.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
