The entertainment disappears about halfway through this thing
21 November 2022
At least the film is somewhat intriguing to start off.

A plane carrying a nuclear scientist, rocket designer, female mathematician, the woman who had those pulsating veins in her head in the "Star Trek" pilot, and normal people, inexplicably starts gaining altitude. Air Traffic Control has no idea what the hell is going on, which is probably the most realistic event in the film. Eventually the plane arrives at a foggy purgatory containing a few rocks. There, a guy with no personality puts the trio on trial for just thinking about creating an awesome weapon. It seems the scientist is the father of the beta-thermonuclear bomb. What is not revealed is that he is also the father of the beta-max, which was an even worse bomb. The three are convicted of something, but then they are let off the hook.

The cast does nothing to distinguish themselves. Dayton Lummis, as the scientist, looks like he is either bored or suffering from constipation. Paula Raymond, as the mathematician, doesn't get to do any mathematics. However, Craig Hill, as the rocket designer, does give his part a good try. Veteran character actor Addison Richards has a bit as "The Sage." Now if the film only had characters named "Parsley," "Rosemary," and "Thyme," this could have been interesting.
