Eduard Pentslin’s take on Jules Verne's well-known story stands out as an interesting look at film history from the Soviet era. It may not have the flashy computer graphics seen in newer versions, but it makes up for that with impressive effects achieved through physical means and a notably realistic feel considering when it was made. This is a tale of patriotism and perseverance centered on the resourcefulness of the group attempting to settle there. The pacing feels somewhat deliberate compared to what audiences are used to now, yet it still holds appeal as a sincere and visually inventive example of early science fiction films. It's a respectable adaptation from the Soviet Union. It adheres closely to the original story, has a strong sense of place thanks to its on-location filming, but might feel dated and slow for contemporary viewers.
