Surprisingly, the title of the film accurately predicted the number of people who visited the moon. And for the first time they showed an international space expedition, even more epic than the expedition from the GDR film Silent Star, which was released 6 months later. There is a Turk and a Swede and a Japanese and a Russian and a Brazilian with a Nigerian. The Russian, a specialist in magma, turned out to be a greedy citizen, but at the last moment showed decency. In fact, the merits of the film end there. Everything else is pure water thrash.
I’m already turning a blind eye to the fact that the filmmakers have never heard of weightlessness. That the moon they have in the underground city live luniens and that the moon grow mineral trees and even have some air. And there's quicksand. Okay, maybe it was really thought, at the time, that there was such a possibility, before Gagarin's flight for another year. But then I didn't understand anything at all. The Lunyans kidnapped two cosmonauts and another was sucked into the sand, convinced that earthlings are evil and froze North America, to the joy of the Communists, which was not even a Russian, but a Frenchman. And America was saved by selflessly dropping an atomic bomb into the mouth of a Mexican volcano. What's going on, guys? What drugs were in high esteem at the time? But the film was released not by any private store with Ulmer, and the Columbia Pictures.
