I didn't really want this movie; it came on a double feature DVD with another movie about Venus. The only reason I got this DVD is that it came in a box with four horror movies. It was called the horror gift set so I don't know why there were two science fiction movies in the set. However, I found this one entertaining to some extent. Wasn't all that bad. The problem is that it starts slow and after the volcano scene it ends slowly. There are some rather good scenes in the middle though and I liked how they used outdoor scenes rather than sets. There are a couple of monsters here and there too to see. The plot has these three astronauts landing on Venus to find two others who apparently crashed there with their robot. It is interesting during this phase, but after they find them the movie gets really bad again as I am guessing they were just trying to pad out the rest of the film. The stuff about that gal Marsha was just really dumb. The end is just them speculating whether she landed on the planet to help or not. With a better climax this one could have been a somewhat entertaining little movie, though it couldn't have been too good as science fiction movies tend to age poorly especially when dealing with astronauts and stuff to that effect.
