Best movie ever!
RipDelight
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

In the 1960s, the Italians were the best in comedies, dramas, western spaghetti. Trying sci-fi, they did not succeed at all. This movie is not the worst, on the contrary, it's a good try which has some merits. The best thing is the beautiful Leonora Ruffo. And then, the presence of the very sexy Leontine May, who was also in a few euro-spy films. The story is banal and with deja-vu taste. But the actors strive, their effort is visible. I'm sure the film's budget was limited, so it did not benefit from the effects type Star Wars or 2001 Space Odyssey. Even so, it's not bad, it's worth seeing.

I don't know what bothered me worse: the men walking around stiff as if they were afraid to move OR the dark haired girl that severely over acted and was trying to either do a dance move or model pose every time she stopped walking. Almost all of the men and the one woman irritated me severely - so much so I ended up fast-forwarding though the film.Not one of them that played a human in the film could act. And I love some really bad B films with awful acting but I could not get past the actors in this film. The actors that played the aliens are fine, not actors playing humans to me - just something about the group I hated.The story? I couldn't tell ya if I liked it or not because I just couldn't get past the some of the actors in this one. Being honest.1/10

Doesn't anyone remember that the beginning of this movie had the hero scientist being chased around a crater where the space ship crashed on Earth by crazy Chinese (or evidently some other Oriental) spies? And the girl spends the whole second half of the film floating around the space ship in her underwear - a lovely touch. You can't rate this kind of masterpiece on the same scale as other movies. It has all the wacky appeal of a painting of Elvis on black velvet or a recording of William Shatner "singing." I saw this movie fifteen years ago and just had a dream about it last night (which is what made me look it up here) and that's extra disturbing. What do you think that's about? Sorry - ten line minimum.

This motion picture is interesting to watch, if for no other reason, then for analysis. It purports to have taken upon itself a complicated history. One fact is known, that of the original release date in Italy of 1966, although a website or two will show 1965. What happened since then is anyones guess. Yes, there was a 1977 release in the United States under the Monarch Releasing Corporation. The titles, "Star Pilot" and "Star Pilots" are given. Yet in the video release by Sinister Cinema the title is shown as "2 + 5: Mission Hydra" although the Monarch Releasing Corporation credit is also listed seemingly indicating this is the same version as the 1977 US dubbed release. The real confusion starts with the footage from other movies spliced in at some points. Another website claims the movies "Kaiju Daisenso(1965)" and "Yusei Gorasu(1962)" are interwoven with the plot. This may very well be, but Casey Kasem is also clearly seen. This would appear to be from "The Doomsday Machine" which had a checkered history of its own, being made in 1967(a year after "2+5"), but released in 1972. So therefore this footage must have been added only in the US release, though "2+5" premiered in West Germany in 1967. Various running times(84, 89, 90 + 92) are given as well depending on what source you refer to. The bottom line on this former late night favorite is, for the male viewers there is Leontine May(who dominates) and for the female viewers, Kirk Morris(pseudonym of Adriano Bellini) and Gordon Mitchell. It should also be mentioned for the classical music crowd, that although the credit is given on the IMDb for "theme from Toccato & Fugue in D Minor by JS Bach", it is not mentioned that it is under the direction of Leopold Stokowsky.
