It is hard to believe that this is a Disney film. There are some
filming errors in the movie as we can see shadows of the crew as
well as some of the wires holding up the robots.
Nevertheless, there are some stunning space scenes, with large
clusters of stars including some very good scenes which include
the space ship Cygnus, this very well designed ship. The ship
exploration scene is quite impressive and the control tower is
quite remarkable for the 1970s.
The film reminds you of a modern intergalactic version of Jules
Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
One of the best parts is played by Maximilian.
This is considered one of the classics in the sci-fi world.
