Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)
A man tells his story of how he became unstuck in time and abducted by aliens.
An
unusual, but effective adaptation of a complex novel, at heart an
anti-war movie, but wandering through various time zones (including a
world beyond the realm of earth), sometimes a bit bewildering.
Halliwell*: "Interesting but infuriating anti-war fantasy for intellectuals."
The Phantom Planet (1961)
After an invisible asteroid draws an astronaut and his ship to its surface, he is miniaturized by the phantom planet's exotic atmosphere.
Risible sci-fi adventure, quite poor in all departments, doesn't achieve the quality of even the worst Star Trek episodes.
Maltin*1/2: "Fascinatingly terrible movie."
