Ameriatch
One of the best films i have seen

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

If you've seen every other goofy Italian sci-fi flick and thought you'd exhausted the field, fear not! Here's EIGHT HOURS of Antonio Margheriti doing what he does best, compositing cool model spaceships with beautiful starscapes and familiar B-level actors, in an utterly unnecessary (yet glorious) updating of Treasure Island. Everything here holds together: the sets, the models, the props, the costumes, etc. This is no bottom-of-the-barrel cheapskate production! This is Margheriti's magnum opus, and the logical pinnacle of Italian SF - derivative, fast, and fun!See it if you can! Unfortunately for us Americans, we'll have to make do with cruddy "grey- market" versions until (if ever) a real release comes along . . .

When I am writing this comment it is nearly 3.00am in the morning. I had this flash of memory coming back to me which reminds me of this gem. I was hardly 10 years old when I saw it for the first time.I fondly remember it for its contrast to the original novel I read later in my life. Ever since I have been searching its name and origins. Glimpses I remember include a blind greedy man with the stick being betrayed, a beautiful circular space craft called Hispaniola and the new planet full of leeches and broken space crafts. The series marries a teenager interest in adventures to his obsession about space and alien life. A special thanks to all who contributed before me regarding info on this beautiful series. I think sites like Amazon.com should store a few copies so that it is not lost forever. As for me I wish I could watch it again but maybe this wish will never be fulfilled. After seventeen years, thanks to the internet, I now know what to look for.

First of all...why?-Because this movie got so deep into my heart being one of those movies which surprised me in a very special way becoming the one i somehow waited and had wished to be created and still it over passed all my expectation and fulfilled my every childish dream.The movie has something mysterious and magic in the same time,combining the fairy tale of childhood which parents used to read us at bedtime about pirates and treasures with the teenager's dream of time conquest and space traveling mixing them both with intrigue and adventure,creating an unique feeling of something true and possible in the future,..creating in the teenager's mind -The Dream!

I'm surprised someone has written about this movie, because you cannot find it easily in the shops.The movie tells the story of a 12-year old boy, Jimmy (played bij Itaco Nardulli), who lives in the year 2300 at Sicily in an abandoned spacecentre. His mother owns the inn. This is the place where Billy Bones arrives, and later on the scoundrels: they are looking for the treasuremap. Of course the story is well-known. But this time it all happens in outer space. A marvellous idea, because I like sf-films.Fortunately I have got this film on VHS-tape as one complete movie with a length of 2h and 25 minutes; English spoken with Dutch subtitles. Unfortunately the quality of the tape is not as it should be. I will try to make a scan of the cover, so that Imdb can show it on the empty place of the page of "Tresure Island in outer space" or "Isola del tesoro,L" if they still want it of course.My opinion is: a feel-good movie, suitable for all ages above 8, with great adventure and humour and suspence. I will vote for this film and mark it with a 9.Greetings from The Netherlands, Govert van der Kemp.
