未来的2163年。人类的40名成员驾驶超光速宇宙飞船飞出太阳系，日韩他们的目的地是阿尔法星人马座。在那里找寻是否有和人类一样的生命存在。完成任务后，日韩将经过15年的飞行返回地球。 但是旅程中却碰到了意想不到的情况……《Ikarie XB 1》拍摄于1963年。当时库布里克没有拍出《2001：太空漫游》，人类还没有登上月球。富有想象力的东欧电影人就对宇宙中是否存在除人类以外的生命的问题作出了大胆假想，并在实践中寻找了。本片是捷克斯洛伐克的第一部科幻电影，影片改编自波兰著名的科幻作家 斯坦尼斯拉夫·莱姆的小说《麦哲伦星云》（“Magellan Cloud” ）。

回复 :本片是英国著名的喜剧团体Monty Python的成员特里琼斯 (Terry Jones)导演的一部荒诞不经的调侃宗教的电影,故事的发生地在巴勒斯坦,讲述了一个普通的男人被世人误认为是弥赛亚(犹太人企盼的复国救主)，由此引发了许多啼笑皆非的故事，一如Monty Python所有的电影那般，特里琼斯在这部电影中也使用了大量荒诞无厘头的笑料，电影以圣经为原型，由头至尾都充斥着颠覆，嘲讽的意味，对于虔诚的宗教人士来说，这部电影确实是场巨大的灾难。

回复 :A quick glimpse at the cast for this film would make any horror fan giddy with glee. The actual movie doesn't live up to those high expectations, but it's far from being all bad. Desi Arnaz Jr. (!) plays an author who makes a crazy $20,000 bet with his publisher that he could write a great novel in only 24 hours. To do so, the publisher gives him the keys to an old abandoned house where he won't be disturbed. Not true. Once he gets there he is interrupted by a multitude of guests including a family which consists of John Carradine, Sheila Keith, Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. They are gathered there in a twisted family reunion to release their brother from the room he's been imprisoned in for forty years. Even Christopher Lee drops by as Corrigan, the man who has just purchased the house. Soon, they realize that the caged brother is loose and out for revenge.What a great plotline and what a dream cast! This movie should have been a hell of a lot better. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problems with the film, but I would venture to say that the lack of lighting was a major fault. Sure the house has no electricity but I think they took the title of the movie a little too literally. Scenes after scenes are barely visible and the actors' faces are undecipherable. Only the moments in the main dinning hall are well lit. Also, the great actors are given very little to do. Cushing gets a few chuckles as the scared brother but Price, Lee and especially Carradine are somewhat wasted here. Well, at least Price gets the best line of the film: `Please don't interrupt me while I am soliloquizing.' And on the plus side, the story has enough twists and turns throughout to keep one`s interest and the ending, while a bit of a cop-out, manages to surprise.
