All I can tell you is it is quite a trip. Fortunately, all of the voyaging is done in the northern hemisphere.

Los Angeles Times
From our current vantage point, the film's appeal has less to do with surrealism than nostalgia. It's a movie that potently evokes bygone attitudes and aesthetics -- a relic of the age of pre-digital effects, a product of both Cold War paranoia and midcentury techno-utopianism. [03 Jun 2007, p.E19]

This special effects extravaganza from 1966 has proved surprisingly enduring, despite a technical quality crude by contemporary standards.

The effects may have dated, as have the Cold War themes, but the almost real time adventure still has some tension to offer.
