    Finally found....

    ....THIS!:



    I've heard mixed things about it, so I've been really curious. It sounds like it's not quite accurate to the source material story-wise, but the dude's got the look, and I've heard it's a neat film.... in a classic B-Movie sense.

      It's a finished auction. Scroll down and it might be there. (It is on my setup.) It's a movie I've wanted for a while now.

            I have actually dealt with this seller a few times. He DOES USE top rated media (basing it with info on digitalfaq.com which is more than recommended) as well as he knows what he is doing as far as transfers go, so if you are still on the fence take the dive in and get the disc--

              So;

              I finally saw the '67 Perry Rhodan movie. It was.... well; if you like cheesy 60's sci-fi films, it's a masterpiece. They really tried, but even though it's not exactly cheap looking the tech of the day couldn't produce some of the effects they were going for.

              ....and some stuff was just bad. In the back of my head I was waiting for the guy in the red jumpsuit and his robot pals to show up....

              As an accurate representation of the books, it's.... er.... the STORY is WAY off; there are parts where you can see the original ideas, but they're in a weird new form. (So, in the books one of the crew is captured by a government agency and tortured until he reveals what's going on. In the film he's a double agent.) It feels like they shrunk it down so's to fit the majority of the first major plot down to one film. (In the book he uses the alien ship to take over the Earth and unify the human race. In the movie he whacks a James Bond villain.) But the casting is dead-on. Most of the characters look and act exactly like you'd picture them from reading the books. So it feels like a weird side story that COULD have happened in between the stuff in the novels.
