[@hugebartlett1884]

You may laugh at it now,but I remember sitting on the edge of my chair while watching films like this. Back in the fifties space travel was the epitomy of adventure,and we all wanted to go! For its time,this film was a great effort at realism,involving character flaws,jealousy, relationships,and the ever present danger. I give it AOK!

[@5ivestring]

This brings back the childhood memories. Back then this was so believable, high tech movies. Laying on the floor in front of the TV with a huge bowl of dry Cherrios. Then the Twilight Zone and Outer Limits came later. Best you could get. Well, back then anyway.

The original twilight zone is still great tv.

[@michaelmiller2397]

what did you ever end up doing in life?

[@melodiefrances3898]

​@SomeGuy-hd4cn it is genius imho. Rod Sterling was using sci fi to do social commentary that the network wouldn't let him do in a straightforward way. That's why it's soooo good.

[@rickriffel6246]

This is Number 4 of the Gamma One space movies -- commissioned by MGM for TV in 1964, filmed in Italy in 1965, rejected from TV and shown in Italian theaters in 1966, shown in American theaters in 1967, and syndicated on American TV in the 1970s.

Love old scifi like this. Those three guys floating around in space are being "tossed about like leaves in the wind." When one guy jumps off the station he looks like he's swimming. I love it!

[@scottm5425]

Sneeks antimatter bombs onboard without authority and only gets a telling off, sums up the general total lack of discipline shown here.

[@SenorZorrozzz]

I have to tell you, for back in the day this film was well done and expensive! It may look cheap by today's huge budgets and CGZi, but this was almost state of the art back then. And it was an Italian production! This was huge for them!

[@christianbuczko1481]

It's a pity they didn't hire decent actors, a couple do ok, but mostly they come across as having a large dildo shoved up their ass.

[@skepticalfaith5201]

Thank you sooo much. I remembered this movie from when I was a kid and was always trying to find out which movie it was. Real distinctive name “War Between the Planets”. I knew it was something like that. I always remembered the “planet” with the arteries that were self-healing. And the catastrophic effects on the Earth. Have no idea what I thought at the time, but was (obviously) fascinated by the “wild planet”. They didn’t even try to communicate with it or find out anything about it before blowing it up. Cpt Picard would not have approved.

[@Ghostshadow714]

I've literally been searching for this movie for 50 years. I remember seeing it with my family at the Delancy St. Theater in the 70's I didn't know the name of it. I just remembered the living planet with the vains...Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤

[@davidgreeson8946]

Did you notice how all the actors look like they could have been on the set of an Italian gladiator movie the day before this movie?

[@luthermcgee432]

Less than 3 minutes into the movie, and I like it. Everybody knows that the city was a small scale model, but strangely enough, that's what captivated me about other Italian sci fi films in the '60s. If I'm correct, the officer who said that he wants to fight it with his bare hands, he's going to be absorbed by the planetoid. Yeah, yeah, I've seen this one before, but it's something to watch on Thanksgiving.

Because real special effects will always be superior to digital ones. Because the former manage to look cheap and fake regardless of the budget.

To be fair, the choppers were on earth; the spacecraft took off to the space station. People were walking around in normal clothing. Interesting point was how, back in those days, spacecraft were aerodynamic. A spacecraft doesn’t need to be aerodynamic to “fly” in a vacuum.

[@RSEFX]

I very often wind up talking about and, to some extent, defending films from this general era and a little earlier (the 1950's), films that are often picked on like THIS ISLAND EARTH or WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE, THE MOLE PEOPLE, CONQUEST OF SPACE, THE LAND UNKNOWN etc etc., but they are giants of perfect film making compared to some of the films at the time, and this is a perfect example. NO one thought these films were remotely acceptable in any way as even semi-serious SF tales. These were just laughed at out loud in the theater (yes, including this one which I saw in a theater on its original release. My friends and i were all around 11-12 at the time and just thought this was ridiculous. The "effects" were ridiculous, a real hoot. I'm always shocked when films like this are lumped in with films like the above---THIS ISLAND EARTH, etc---because even a cursory examination reveals a HUGE difference in quality- between those and this one--the acting, visual effects, stories etc. Sorry, if this comes off as "mean", but...this is pretty sloppy film making, and as fake as it gets...maybe with the exception of Ed Wood's "productions".. YET...I DO appreciate people who make any effort to appreciate some of the "less perfected" work from years long past. And I DO appreciate that this was done here. My main point is that these films were made with many differences in quality, and I hate to have them all dismissed as all being equal. (End of rant...:-)
