En 1888, une comète heurte la Terre et emporte avec elle une partie de l'Afrique du Nord. Sur ce morceau de planète en dérive, les armées se forment et se disputent le pouvoir. Mais ace à la menace de mystérieuses créatures, le colonel Servadac tente de convaincre les ennemis de mettre fin à leurs stupides conflits et de s'allier... (Malavida)

Purely objectively, this may be one of Karel Zeman's weaker films. Plot-wise, it may be a bit lacking. Maybe not as interesting. The laudable anti-war idea may be mired in confused bouncing back and forth. And Emil Horváth, Jr. may owe his charisma mainly to the dubbing of Jan Tříska, because otherwise he is quite wooden. Perhaps, perhaps. But what does it all matter when On the Comet is still such a beautiful film and a completely dreamy, almost touching fantasy. ()
For me, this is such a unique film that no other from Karel Zeman has surpassed it. That certainly doesn't mean that the other films by Zeman aren't great. They are, and On the Comet is proof of that. Visually captivating, narratively charmingly naive with a message that sounds a bit silly today, but that doesn't change the fact that it's true. ()
