Was just watching Gerry Anderson's Journey To The Far Side of the Sun last night.
Been a long time since I seen it so it was almost like watching a new movie.
I'm a little suprised the owners of the Twilight Zone didn't try and sue Anderson because the story is close to a Twilight Zone episode.
The music was very haunting and nice.
Speaking of the music, I see so much of Thunderbirds and Space 1999 in the music structor of Journey.
I didn't like some of the extended space scenes probably ment to copy 2001.
The ending ....
Well, lets just say i'm surprised the movie got made with an an ending like that
Interesting Anderson predicted an almost European Union that had a space agency in line with NASA.
I'll bet in a few years this will really happen.
It was a strange movie .....
You watch the cool model effects and you think you're watching a movie ment for kids --- and then all of a sudden the hero slaps his wife for secretly using birth control pills and telling him he's half a man.
I think one of Journey's problems was it didn't have a specific audience in mind and that's what made it look mixed up and jumbled.
All in all it was good effort from the Anderson's and definitely a prelude to better things to come - aka UFO and Space 1999.
What did you thik of Journey ?
