Yeah, it's definitely deliberately paced, but the miniature effects and production design are awesome and the Barry Gray score is fantastic.<br /><br />I didn't see any models that resembled anything on UFO, specifically, but the cars and George Sewell's handgun definitely reappeared on the later program. (Not to mention, a large chunk of the cast!)Christopher Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978811373546110421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-54783598034932099182011-02-09T20:59:48.394-05:002011-02-09T20:59:48.394-05:00Loved Journey... haven't seen it in an age, th...Loved Journey... haven't seen it in an age, though, and I can't yet let myself spare the cash to pick up the DVD.

If you're not an Anderson fan... well, the pace is a bit uneven (pretty slow at times) and the science is dodgy at best, so suspend your disbelief and just go with it. The SFX are superb for their day, but I'm a sucker for old school... nothing beats model work when it's well made.<br /><br />For what it's worth, this movie is one of the first I have conscious recollection of watching... I guess it was when I was around three years old. Not that it's the first movie I EVER saw, but it's one of the first I REMEMBER seeing. (It ties with Duel for that honor.)<br /><br />Finally, I actually have this on Laser Disc, but never found the DVD version. I thought it was out of production...<br /><br />CRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-78482705584130487592011-02-09T03:51:26.968-05:002011-02-09T03:51:26.968-05:00I really liked Journey To The Far Side of The Sun ...I really liked Journey To The Far Side of The Sun and if I recall correctly,some models from UFO get used though with different window dressing.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11087817889907212691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-53772788875307963802011-02-09T00:02:47.678-05:002011-02-09T00:02:47.678-05:00I had forgotten all about Journey To The Far Side ...I had forgotten all about Journey To The Far Side of The Sun.
