Tired of CGI heavy movies? This 1969 classic is a breather from how sci-fi movies are made today.
When the EuroSEC - European Space Exploration Council, discovers a planet that seems to be habitable based on data that shows it may have an earth-like atmosphere and is in the same orbit around the Sun but on the opposite side, they send a 2-man crew to venture where no man has gone before... to the far side of the Sun.
Funded by the Americans, they insist that Colonel Glenn Ross leads the expedition, alongside British scientist John Kane. The space trip would take 3 weeks to reach the said planet, and another three weeks going back to Earth. Upon reaching their destination, the crew suddenly encounters a terrible entry into the planet's inner atmosphere, and crashes into a mountain ridge.
Upon waking up from the crash, the Colonel is surprised to find out that he is back on Earth. The Director of EuroSEC, Jason Webb, seems more surprised that the mission has failed and wonders why the astronauts came back to Earth after 3 weeks. During the debriefing, Colonel Ross insists that they made it to the new planet and is confused as to why they are back on Earth.
A day later, Colonel Ross thinks he is going crazy or constantly hallucinating because everything seems to be in reverse. The writings on his passport, the light switch of his room used to be on the right side now it's on the left, and other signage that needs to be read opposite a mirror for you to be able to understand what it says. (Just like an ambulance when you see it from a rear view mirror, without looking through the mirror, the word ambulance is inverted.)
So has the colonel gone mad, or did they really reach the newly discovered planet, and everyone around them is just a doppelganger?

Elements Bits number 1:
Life beyond Earth. Are we really alone in the galaxy? Do you believe in aliens? Well, not unless you have been a witness I guess. Area 51, Roswell, Planet Nibiru, and many other conspiracy filled theories; I have always been fascinated with the universe and the mysteries it holds. Though I have yet to fully believe in it, I have seen some strange lights in the skies, but it seems that there would always be a scientific explanation for it.
There is so much information on the internet right now with regards to this, but recently, the 12th Planet, Nibiru, is what has been circulating on the Net. That it exists.
