Reviews:
This is one of those movies on Mystery Science Theater that's actually pretty good (considering that this is from the creators of 12 to the Moon!)

The plot is simple enough. An asteroid wandering dangerously through the galaxy is causing havoc, so two astronauts (including the late Dean Fredericks and Richard Weber, the first hippie astronaut) discover the planet, but only after Weber has sacrificed his life for Fredericks. When he lands on the planet, he shrinks to the size of a puppet and meets the inhabitants of the planet, such as femme-fatale Colleen Gray and Francis X. Bushman as Sesom (Moses backwards). But they don't want him to grow back to original size and need his help in the fight against the Solarites, a group of puppy-faced monsters who want to burn up the universe. Can the astronaut find help in his former enemy, or does he want to stay with the mute girl he has fallen in love with?

Some of the other actors worth mentioning are Marvin Miller, who played the voice of Robby the Robot, Richard Kiel ("Jaws"), and Anthony Dexter of the "epic" Fire Maidens from Outer Space. The special effects are okay, but the phantom planet bears a striking resemblance to a popcorn chicken piece, and the ray guns sound like six-shooters. A lot of these scenes seem to pre-date 2001. Nice idea to do a sci-fi remake of a fantasy classic (Gulliver's Travels.)
