This Soviet fantasy imagined a realistic journey to the moon in the early days of cinema technology. Based on a novel by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, father of Soviet rocketry, the film’s special effects are totally revolutionary for it’s time. More advanced in it’s technical depictions than Fritz Lang’s “Woman In The Moon” (1929) , "Cosmic Journey” is better compared to the groundbreaking “Destination Moon” (1950). Everything from the style of the ships to the weightlessness of space are usually found in films of the ‘50s than the ‘30s. Effects are done on a colossal scale with wide views of the space center and long trucking shots of the giant rockets. The colossal two-stage ships are prepared for launch on an fantastic inclined ramp, an enormous miniature set reminiscent of the British “Things to Come” (1936). The full-sized sets are also vast. By any standard, the effects of weightlessness in space, the incorporation of stop-motion animation and several unbelievable tracking shots were all incredibly advanced for their time. The plot centers around a bureaucrat's attempt to keep the scientific genius Pavel Sedikh from taking the first moon flight. Pavel ends up making the trip along with his secretary Marina and Andryushka, a young stowaway. When they land on the moon, exploration is the order of the day. But Pavel finds himself trapped under a boulder and his only hope is the inexperienced pair that he brought with him. With their oxygen supply rapidly fading, the outcome looks grim indeed. DVD EXTRAS A Trip To the Moon (1902) - The first sci-fi film as envisioned by French pioneer Georges Melies. Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe Ch. 8 (1940) - A sci-fi icon and an inspiration for the Star Wars’ series. Cosmic Monsters (Digest version) (1954) - British interpretation of an alien visitation. Review: Cool space flick - Da! Review: Fantastic Journey - This is quite impressive. For a film made so long ago, 1936 to be exact, the visual effects are amazing, even by today's standards. The image itself is very clean, with very little degradation. It is quite sharp, and shows the detail of the sets and models quite well, but even then they look very realistic. It is a very good story as well, and I suppose it does have some propaganda concerning the people's party, but there is no mention of conflict with the west, or any political issues whatsoever. It, to me, depicts man's constant striving to know the unknowable; to solve the mysteries around us, and to work together to do so. Social issues such as age discrimination, both old and young, and sexual discrimination are shown and dealt with in realistic ways. This is a fantastic movie, and anyone who enjoys science fiction will enjoy this movie, irregardless of its age or origin. It is in Russian, but has English subtitles. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 25 Reviews | ## Images ![Cosmic Journey (Kosmicheskiy Reys: Fantasticheskaya Novella) [DVD] [1936] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xqHPMqXFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool space flick *by O***T on February 16, 2025* Da! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Journey *by D***B on September 14, 2015* This is quite impressive.

Do be advised that this is *by L***N on August 21, 2015* OK, but other sci-fi movies, such as "Things to Come" are much better.
