Watch Mission Stardust For Free

Undescribable Perfection

good back-story, and good acting

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The earth sends a secret mission to the moon. It is one no one knows about except for a drug dealer. Their mission is to explore a new mineral whose density is greater than cobalt or lithium. While there, they encounter a race of beings who look like us. They have traveled 34 million light years to our moon looking for a cure for leukemia. Okay got that?Just so happens our astronaut knows of a doctor in Africa (Sara Palin's one nation Africa.) who is working on a leukemia serum so our guys along with sexy alien Thora (Essy Persson) head there.This was apparently made during an era where anything with a sci-fi label on it sold to the masses no matter how bad the quality or plot...sort of like zombie and vampire films of today...just add "Lincoln" to it. The film is so poorly done which means it has camp value, hence the many 5-star reviews. Special effects were terrible. The science was so bad, it made "Prometheus" look like a documentary.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Some flirting, sexual innuendos, Essy in a bra type top.

MISSION STARDUST is a very cheap and cheerful Italian science fiction B-movie with a cast that includes good and bad aliens, a race of killer robots, and plenty of flying saucer mayhem. It was shot on the sun-drenched Canary Islands. It seems to be posited as a kid's movie because it's too sloppy and laughable for any adults watching to take it seriously. The cast includes Eurospy veteran Lang Jeffries as the wooden hero and a minor appearance for Dakar, the black actor later to appear in the likes of ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS. The film features plenty of action and effects, but none of them are remotely believable, and the repeated shots of floating people and vehicles had me laughing out loud every time they appeared. Overall, it can only be described as a piece of so-bad-it's-occasionally-hilarious cinema.

The utterly astonishing Primo Zelgio has surpassed all previous efforts of directors of bad Italian sci-fi movies by making his the most boring of all, and how does he do that? By setting most of it on Earth in the sixties of course! I would have never thought of that.A bunch of astronauts head off for the moon for precious metals only to find a crashed alien ship there with an old dying man and an extremely smug woman who initially appears to be wearing two brillo pads on her chest. This smug alien thinks mankind are morons even though they have a ship that works and can cure the old man's disease, and therefore we are dragged kicking and screaming through another 'battle of the sexes' plot.To make things worse, everyone head back to Earth to cure the old man, but the local government are trying to attack the ship and there's some rich (and gay, it's suggest?) guy who wants the ship or something. I'm so glad Star Wars came along and gave the Italian film industry something decent to rip off, because these early sci-fi films are boring beyond belief.There are only two good aspects to this film: The terrible effects and the rubbery faced-alien robot guys who shoot lasers from their eyes. Of course to keep the film as boring as possible the director waits until the last fifteen minutes to start the action going, but by that point you'll be totally nodding off.

*Spoiler/plot- Mission Stardust(4...3...2...1...Morte), 1967. Aitor planetary aliens have crashed on the moon, and Earth astronauts have found and volunteer to help them with medical and engineering assistance. They take the sick alien leader back to Earth to have a crime syndicate try to steal the alien advanced secrets. The aliens and Earthmen fight together to do the right thing in co-operation.*Special Stars- Lang Jeffries, Essy Persson, LIus Davila, Pinkas Braun, Stefano Sibaldi, John Karlsen.*Theme- Goodwill and help is universal.*Trivia/location/goofs- Italian, Spain, and Germany co-production. Experience: The 'Weiner Mobile' lunar car, hear the annoying 'alien' female vocal mood & scene incidental music with no musical instruments accompaniment. Watch for the Perry Rhodan sci-fi novels paring of international crime czar/spies and astronaut heroes.*Emotion- I have not heard to read any of the Perry Rhodan sci-fi novels. But I found their premise interesting and unique in this film. The added plot twist of espionage and crime to make this film more dramatic and enjoyable. There are some interesting alien robots featured in this film, also.*Based On- Perry Rhodan sci-fi novels.
