It was based on Alexei Tolstoy's novel of the same name. Mikhail Zharov and Igor Ilyinsky were cast in leading roles. Though the main focus of the story is the daily lives of a small group of people during the post-war Soviet Union, the enduring importance of the film comes from its early science fiction elements. It primarily tells of a young man, Los' (Russian: Лось, literary Elk), traveling to Mars in a rocket ship, where he leads a popular uprising against the king, with the support of Queen Aelita who has fallen in love with him after watching him through a telescope. Probably the first full-length movie about space travel, the most notable part of the film remains its remarkable constructivist Martian sets and costumes designed by Aleksandra Ekster. Their influence can be seen in a number of later films, including the Flash Gordon serials and probably Fritz Lang's Metropolis. While very popular at first, the film later fell out of favor with the Soviet government and was thus very difficult to see until after the Cold War. Plot: Ryska revolutionen i yttre rymden! Jorden över uppmärksammas ett mystiskt radiomeddelande: anta... odeli... uta... Ingen förstår dess ursprung, men den ryske vetenskapsmannen Loss härleder det till planeten Mars. Medan han konstruerar ett rymdskepp som ska ta honom upp till planeten, så fantiserar han om den undersköna drottning Aelita som är dess härskarinna. På samma gång iakttar Aelita honom genom ett teleskop och drömmer om livet på planeten Jorden. När Loss till sist får sin chans att färdas upp i rymden förverkligas hans visioner på ett sätt han aldrig kunnat ana... Alexej Tolstojs klassiska science-fictionnovell står till grund för Yakov Protazanovs äventyr, som filmades året efter det litterära verkets tillkomst. Filmen var den första riktigt stora högbudgetfilmen i Sovjetunionen och blev en enorm succé vid premiären. Aelita kan i efterhand ses som en inspiration till både Metropolis och Blixt Gordon - såväl tack vare de häpnadsväckande scenografierna, signerade Art Deco-konstnären Aleksandra Ekster, som den politiska idealismen där de ryska revolutionära idéerna sprider sig till den kapitalistiska diktaturen på Mars. Denna DVD-utgåva återger filmen i nyrestaurerat skick med nya musikkompositioner baserat på verk av Sergej Prokofjev. Extra: Interviev Filmograpy, photo album unt so witer...

I'm getting message "DVD-Video files reallocation failed" when I am trying the downloaded VIDEO_TS files in Nero... How can I get it working?

The problem solved thanks to Google and FixVTS. Nice upload, thank you very much! Only, the shame that intertitles are replaced with English computer subs, instead of subtitles under the original Russian intertitles. It does look little fake like this...

just shared the best version of Aelita available, better image than this Ruscico edition which has very high contrast. Oyarsa-Q edition is taken from the French Bach DVD which has better grayscale detail and a new Philip Glass soundtrack. With new English intertitles and subtitles in eight languages.
