Release date: 1963
Rating: ★★★★
Review:

‘Hypotézy’ is a film on how landscapes would look like if we were on other planets.

We watch beautiful paintings of a hypothesized Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Ganymede, Saturn and Titan, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Mars is shown as a planet with a possibility of life, while the moon sequence uses a little animation. The whole film is rather poetic and thoroughly enjoyable despite consisting of still images mostly.

Watch ‘Hypotézy’ (unfortunately Czech only) yourself and tell me what you think:

‘Hypotézy’ is available on the Blu-Ray of ‘Ikarie XB-1’
