This rare 1963 Czech scifi picture show – multifariously known asIkaria XB1andVoyage to the death of the Universe – give us a glimpse into where communistic scifi movie maker thought America was headed last C . Into red , trippy doom !
Trekfancvgposted this excerpt on YouTube , explaining it was the then - Czechoslovakia ’s first SF movie :
The film is generally apolitical , except for this remarkable fit , in which the explorers go into a derelict twentieth Century outer space guile , littered with evidence of capitalist immorality . The visuals are chance upon . Corpses of tuxedo - clad , play westerners , their bodies preserved by undefendable vacuum . The crew stamp out by their own chemical hand - weapon as they fought over dwindle away oxygen . The ship laden with nuclear weapon — still active after C .
Ikarie XB 1 is an ambitious , thoughtful , intelligent flick that was decades ahead of its time . It ’s an radical - rare “ must - see ” for any serious SF fan , with gamy - concept constituent galore : a trip to proxima centaura ; clock time dilation ; next food for thought , way , music and dance ; first - contact protocols ; increased longevity ; artificial intelligence ; bulky socialist automaton .
It ’s aver the screenplay was revolutionize by the work of Stanislaw Lem , include “ The Magellanic Cloud ” from 1955 .
I love the concept invention and the slow , gooey goat god across the clay of this opulence ship full of people who look like they should have been listening to Frank Sinatra in a nightclub .
