Four astronauts for unknown reasons head to outer space and discover some bizarre actions. In front of there eyes, these laser beams appear in space and hit the space station, disintigrating it. Then they are under attack and immediate get out of there, narrowly avoiding them and landing on Venus, in which they
amazingly can breath on. Massive plot holes galore, embarrassing errors (such as when they are in space and through the window, there is blue sky!) and silly dialogue accompanied by a funny score, but this film slightly succeeds. It has unusual special, intriguing effects and there is appearance of a small, flat screen television in the queen's room (by the way, she is not played by Zsa Zsa Gabor and happens to be hiding behind a mask, for very good reason to). Also, there are some laughs, perhaps unintentional. Passable, but still, a "Forbidden Planet" wannabe.
