WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

mark.waltz Pretty good science fiction film takes a trip to Venus where rubber dinosaur like creatures just a little taller than men roam free, and a blood sucking plant with strong stems that grab the astronauts and attempt to suck them in. A giant pre- historic like bird turns out to be the deity for pre-historic women who are unable to speak but can read each other's minds. When it is killed, the mute women (lead by Mamie Van Doren) bow revenge. Told in narration through flashback by one of the astronauts, it has a very eerie soundtrack and at times is extremely quiet. It is only moderately silly, most obvious when the women pick up the rubber head of the bird. The planet highly resembles the earth, with only a few signs that this is a different world. Scenes in outer space almost seem animated. This ranks as a cult film that manages not to be campy, and that makes it several notches above those films that seemed to go out of their way to appear unintentionally funny.

kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS**** Actually a composite of three different movies spanning almost ten years the film "Voage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" was famed film director Peter Bogdanovich's first film that he also narrated. It has to do with a manned mission to Venus that got stranded together with its US crew that crashed on it in the near future, some 30 years after the movie was made, in 1998. With a rescue crew of astronauts sent there on a rescue mission they run into a number of obstacles including this flying prehistoric reptile, Terah, who's considered by the local population, sexy and mostly blond well endowed young women, as a God.With the help of their all purpose robot, Robot John, the rescue crew finally track down the missing astronauts,Kern & Sherman, that planet Venus blows it's top. With Robot John after heroically rescuing the rescue crew, Andre Ferneau & Hans Walter, parishes in a lava flow from an erupting nearby volcano. As for the women lead by beach blond Moana they soon realize that their God Terah, who was killed by the earthling astronauts, was a false idol and destroy, by stoning it, the graven image that they constructed of it.Very confusing at times with all the added footage added on to it the film "Voage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" dose keep you entertained in how cheesy, especially in its special effects, it is as well as the skimpily clad women, lead by Mamie Van Doren, using sea shells as bras in it. There's also the annoying narration by Peter Bogdanovich who instead of making some sense of the story confuses it even more by not letting the actors in it speak their lines by over-talking them. It's also confusing when we see the spaceship that the US astronauts are traveling in having the Soviet Union Red Star painted on it in footage, inserted into it, from the 1962 Soviet sponsored movie Planeta Bur. P.S Re-released years later as "THe Gill Women".

thinker1691 The second time at bat Hollywood director, Peter Bogdanovich took a story written by Henry Ney and created a movie entitled " Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women. " Upon viewing it, try not to laugh too hard at the many fallacies and inaccuracies in the movie. The star of the movie is one time sex goddess Mamie Van Doren who turned many a males' heads in 1968. The story is of a dreamy eyed astronaut who joins a rescue ship to the Planet Venus. Upon landing they immediately destroy a flying reptile whom the primitive women worship as their god. Thereafter the men are plagued by incessant rain, volcanoes, lava and floods. The team never meet the prehistoric woman, clad only in Bell-bottom skin tight pants and sea-shell bras. However, they do hear their siren call and continue to seek their comrades with a poor man's idea of a robot as a space aid. The movie is low grade and originally made by the Russians and were it not for the hot previews which promised it was for adults only, few would have attended it. As it is, the film is recommended to anyone too board to sleep and wants to stay awake. **

kevin olzak Director Peter Bogdanovich had to start somewhere; following second unit work on Roger Corman's "The Wild Angels," Corman allowed the hardworking novice an opportunity to do a feature film utilizing the exact same Russian stock footage used by Curtis Harrington for his 1965 "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet," a 1962 entry titled "Planeta bur" (Planet of Storms). It's no stretch to assume that the first-time director just didn't have his heart in his work, as all of his newly shot footage features a dozen bikini-clad models not required to speak, everything narrated by Bogdanovich himself. There is no integration between the alien mermaids and the Russian characters, so the whole thing just sits there, aimlessly meandering from one crisis to another. Granted, I had just viewed Curtis Harrington's work on his "Voyage," so all the Soviet footage was already familiar to me, but at least Harrington had Basil Rathbone and Faith Domergue actually communicating with the Russian astronauts, their scenes already dubbed into English. The blame here simply lies with Roger Corman, who felt the need for another retread rather than something truly original. "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women" carries a 1967 copyright, and at least Corman was satisfied enough to grant Bogdanovich the freedom to do a feature starring Boris Karloff, who supposedly owed Roger two days work on a previous contract; we can all be grateful that the result was the superlative "Targets," shot in Dec 1967, an achievement that even "The Last Picture Show" couldn't top (some may feel free to disagree). Pittsburgh's Chiller Theater aired "Prehistoric Planet" only 3 times, "Prehistoric Women" 4 times (maybe it was the bikinis), all from July 1969 to July 1972.
