Sinopsis(1)
En la segunda mitad del siglo XXII, a bordo de la nave espacial Ikarie XB 1, una tripulación se dirige hacia la constelación Alfa Centauri para buscar en ella una nueva forma de vida extraterrestre. Aunque el viaje no dura más que 28 meses, cuando la misión llegue a su destino, en la Tierra ya habrán pasado quince años. Durante el viaje, cuarenta científicos de todos los países aprenden a vivir juntos y afrontan varias peripecias, entre ellas el encuentro con un aparato espacial del siglo XX, la inestabilidad mental de uno de los pasajeros y la aparición de síntomas ligados a una "estrella negra" radioactiva.

Although there are a few jokes in the script of Voyage to the End of the Universe, it is still a serious-minded and above all successful sci-fi film, i.e., an unrepeated event in Czech cinema. The chilling scene with the discovery of the ship and its exploration is clearly the best, but the ending doesn't lag behind it in any way. Jindřich Polák was a great visionary who made Czech films in a world style. The impressiveness of Voyage is also helped by Liška's music and especially by the actresses and actors.

In its time, it was world-class smart sci-fi, with decent special effects and spiced up with Czech A-list actors. What impresses more than the quiet plot is the meticulous camera work and its relationship to the surrounding enclosed environment, which in many ways evokes the more recent Space Odyssey and a much purer genre work than many of its successors. A little more pessimism and suspense would have been nice, but there's still plenty to look at, the degradation of ageing threatens Icarus XB 1 and its sympathetic crew only minimally. 75%

A wonderful example that in history we have absolutely great sci-fi movies that are definitely worth attention. They are not just silly things that would be entertaining, but there are also quite deep films that can inspire even fans of old-school sci-fi. I first heard about "Ikaria XB 1" as a cult film. Absolutely rightfully so. Excellent actors, excellent psychology, and excellently mastered decorations.
