《通向行星路》的制作期长达三年，它是一部雄心勃勃的意识形态电影，包含着极具开创性的特效和精湛的手工模型作品。这部影片对库布里克《2001太空漫游》（2001：A Space Odyssey，1969）中对失重状态、灼热的星球和旋转式的太空站模型的在现实主义描写有着重要影响。　　Klushantsev的《通向行星路》捕捉到了太空竞争的时代思潮。按照莫斯科电影官僚的指示，他在影片中增加了苏联第一个绕地卫星的模型。结果，这部五十分钟电影在苏联激起了观众的恐慌。据报道，电影片段在美国电视播放时，有些观众恐慌得晕厥过去。　　这使得他随后的影片也是他唯一一部标准长片——1962年的《暴风雨之星》让人有点失望。这部影片是这一时期苏联科幻电影知名度较高的一部，故事由一队到金星探索的苏联航天员展开，队伍中有四个男人，一个女孩，还有一个笨重的机器人（这个机器人很明显是效仿了米高梅影片《禁忌星球》（Forbidden Planet，1956）中的机器人角色）。当两个宇宙飞船被流星摧毁时，这一队人被迫在星球表面下降着陆。他们一着陆就遇到恶毒的蜥蜴人，掠夺性的翼龙和食人的植物，而最后，他们得以逃离，回到太空中。

Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey.　　In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.　　The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.
