Filmed in 1962, this movie was clearly ahead of its time. Essentially, the United Nations is in control of the Earth and space exploration has gone all the way to Saturn. So, it's up to the spaceship "Explorer 12" to scout out Uranus. Five men undertake the journey and land in a lush forest--which isn't supposed to be there. Not only that, but several beautiful women are there as well. Realizing that their minds are being read, they come to the conclusion that there is an alien presence on this planet, and because of certain events, they become hostile to it. Now, even though I personally like science-fiction films of this era, I think it's only fair to state that this film is very campy, and the special effects are clearly not up to today's standards. Likewise, the acting was second-rate, and the dialogue left much to be desired as well. But if a person has a little imagination, I think they might enjoy it, all things considered.
