## Description

A newly restored version of a Russian science-fiction classic. Upon reaching Venus, astronauts encounter a ferocious planet with tremendous volcanic eruptions, a hostile environment and terrifying prehistoric monsters. This fascinating adventure became one of the cult classics of its time due to the tension and fear created by the story of six astronauts trying to survive with meager technology. With only their wits to guide them, two teams of astronauts attempt to link up on Venus after a meteoric disaster destroys one of their ships. One team has an advantage in John, a powerful robot that can provide some protection. But the life-forms they encounter on land and in the ocean are like nothing they have ever seen before. And if they don’t manage to join with their counterparts on the other side of the planet, they will never see Earth again. Producer Roger Corman re-cut director Klushantsev's footage to produce two bastardized American versions: “Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet” (dir: Curtis Harrington) and "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" (Peter Bogdanovich's first film). But this ground-breaking Russian classic has never been seen in it’s entirety in the United States until now. DVD EXTRAS The Soviets In Space - While the fiction of “Planet Of Storms” was in the filming stage, the Soviet space initiative was making leaps and bounds. From Sputnik to twin manned launches, the real action was right here on planet Earth. So take a look at some rarely seen newsreel footage depicting the early successes of the space race. The Phantom Planet (Excerpt) - To see how good “Planet Of Storms” is, you need to look at some of the competition. Here’s a US production that has a very similar plotline, but gets really small as the film progresses.

Review: Amazing Russian SciFi Extravaganza Of Yore - Cult movie enthusiasts may be aware of this Russian film as the 'source' material from which 'B" Movie mogul Roger Corman crafted a couple of his infamous 're-edited' Euroflix: "Voyage To The Prehistoric Planet" AKA "Planet of Prehistoric Women" - neither of which is held in particularly high regard. Corman obviously recognized the 'potential' of the quality in this elaborately produced foreign space opera and attempted to capitalize upon it by adding English dubbed dialog that eliminated the original nationalistic Soviet sentiments from the plot and (awkwardly) injected some American actors into the mix to (hopefully) give more attraction for the domestic market. A later re-working also added some throw-away pulchritude in a further desperate attempt to entice the public. With this release of the complete ORIGINAL Russian film - modern viewers may finally have the opportunity to see what got Corman so 'excited', and the passage of time has allowed even the Soviet sub-text to take on an interesting historical relevancy. It would appear that, flushed with the success of the launch of the first Sputnik satellite, the Russian cinema spared no expense in producing an opulent science fiction production based on the premise of a subsequent manned expedition to the mysterious planet Venus: "Planet of Storms" ("Planeta Bur") The film opens as 3 separate Russian space craft are approaching the cloud shrouded planet on an exploratory mission. One of the ships is suddenly destroyed by a meteor collision and the 6 remaining crew members of the surviving 2 space craft decide to land on Venus - despite the compromised situation. While the only female of the mission is delegated to remain 'in orbit' all the men (and a nifty robot) descend to the planet's surface in two groups and spend the majority of the movie trying to 'find one another' so they can return to their space ships and thence back to earth. While it is evident that the Director and production designers were trying to be fairly scientifically accurate in their depictions of space travel - they let their imaginations loose once the cosmonauts set foot on the planet Venus, and provide an alien world populated by a variety of fantastic life forms. While some of Venus's denizens are portrayed as similar to earthly prehistoric creatures (Brontosaurs & Pterosaurs fer example! ) there are also some very cool other-worldly plant forms and humanoid reptiles in evidence to menace the earthlings as they make their explorations of land and sea in a futuristic space-car vehicle. Given the time frame of its' original production, the special effects for this film are pretty impressive in scope and execution and can still be appreciated today for both their period virtuosity, as well as, their dated kitschy aspects. "Planet of Storms" is every bit as engrossing as the best Hollywood produced George Pal SciFi space exploration epics and provides more fantastic elements to be enjoyed. I found this to be great fun and a seminal piece of international SciFi well worth checking out. The DVD is presented in color - Russian language w/ English sub-titles - the picture quality is excellent. Extras include some interesting 'newsreel' shorts that chronicle the US/Russian 'space race' of the 1960's. Highly recommended!
Review: Russia's Big Budget 'Planet Of Storms' Definitely Worth The Journey. - This Big Budget Gem may be Russia's Best Sci-Fi Flick Ever. Don't even mention (Snore, Snore) 'Solaris' to me. Kind of goofy but the production values (for the time) were top notch.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good release with some minor problems.
*by E***R on January 4, 2015*

The video quality is quite good - the best I've seen. The subtitles are not so great. There are many misspellings which could have been resolved with some proof reading. There are several places where there are no subtitles for dialogue. In all, it's a rather good release. But the problems in the subtitles detract from it a bit.
