This is a great hard sci fi movie one of many Communist block films screened by Stanley cubrik before making 2001. The battle beyond the sun version has been dumbed down for usa consumption. It is also an interesting pice of social history showing how the soviet union wanted to be perceived and how it portrayed the Usa.

The new footage with the monsters is mercifully short. Yet, w/o the underlying political tones (decadent, reckless westerners and heroic, selfless soviets), the original plot does come across kind of flat.<br /><br />As for viewing Nebo Zovyot, I found a copy (Nightowlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636207098734817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102724177937132986.post-8480755582351649622010-03-20T01:13:56.632-04:002010-03-20T01:13:56.632-04:00Thanks for the info on Nebo Zovyot.
Unfortunate...Thanks for the info on Nebo Zovyot. <br /> <br />Unfortunately BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN does little to showcase Nebo Zovyot. For whatever reason, R.
