Gosti iz galaksije

Plot synopsis:
Robert is a hotel doorman who is obsessed with science fiction. He plans to write an SF novel about three alien androids—Andra and children Targo and Ulu—who land on Earth coming from an advanced civilisation from the galaxy of Arkana. He is constantly disrupted by his girlfriend Biba and his neighbour Tino, a photographer. One of his colleagues at work tells him he should add a monster to his story, saying it is the only way to attract the readers' attention. Robert decides to partially follow his advice, adding the character of Mumu, a huge alien pet.
One night, Robert hears a woman's voice on a tape recorder, telling him to go to a nearby island. He borrows a boat from his friend Toni and arrives at the island, where he is surprised to find the aliens from his own story. After he returns home, he talks about the events with his psychiatrist. He adds that he discovered he has "tellurgia", an ability to make his thoughts come true; he learned about it when he was a baby wishing for milk, and his father grew breasts in order to feed him. Biba does not believe Robert, so he takes her to the island the following night. There they find again the three aliens. The aliens are in their spaceship, which resembles a blue glowing sphere. They observe a sleeping guard and remove his heart. Biba is frightened by the events, so they turn her into a cube. Once back home, she turns back into a human in a state of shock.
As the city finds out about the aliens, a group of scuba divers goes to the island armed with harpoons, but are attacked by Targo, who shoots laser rays from his eyes. This greatly increases the public interest in the aliens—tourists flock en masse to the island, arriving naked to convince the aliens they mean no harm. However, they find the island empty. Toni also stalks the aliens with a camera to no avail. Robert is fired from his job. Coming home, he finds the aliens nested there. He is fascinated by Andra, and touches her skin, but a jealous Biba bursts into the room, swearing at Andra. This provokes Mumu, who grows in size to more than 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) in height. Mumu breathes fire at guests in the house, killing several. In the end, Robert leaves Earth with the aliens.

Review:
Yugoslavian Sci-Fi with the sense of humour. Cinematography of Ex-Yugoslavia was really big and strong but it hadn't many sci-fi movies, "Visitors from The Arkana Galaxy " or Gosti Iz Galaksije on Serbo-Croatian was only sci-fi movie produced in Ex-Yugoslavia. I was really curious to see this movie because it is made in a country in which i was born, and i was really delighted when i finally seen it. Yes effects are kind of trashy and look like they are from the 60's but somehow it gave movie special vibe. Story is also nice and very imaginative, the biggest plus for me in the movie is humour, Yugoslavian humour is something unique, it is twisted and dark but it is what i really like. Also i must say ladies in this movie just look perfect especially Czech actress Ksenia Prohaska, she plays one of the main characters alien-android Andra, i fell in love really. This movie is really a must for all lovers of weird and retro science fiction.My grade: 7/10.. too soft for a Sci-fi fan. Nice looking ladies, brief nudity, acceptable (extraterrestrial) kids with a robot nanny, a few special effects and a confusion of genres: A comedy with piles of dead bodies ?  Sci-fi built on one person's imagination ? Still, there are some nice moments, e.g. the girls locked up in the kitchen with the "bleeding" monster. The prevailing impression is "soft". Take your grandchildren to view this movie.. Fun, sexy and sincere - low budget sci-fi with a pinch of gore!. If you're a fan of good-humored low-budget sci-fi that lives on its words and ideas floating upon a theatrical canvas, then I think this might be a movie you'll fall in love with. I surely did. It's all about the imagination! So, how far does it dare to tread? I love the way the monster was put into the picture! There is quite some gore at a certain point. It's definitely not suitable for children. But the way the violence comes undone does seem and work like a fairytale trick on the mind. Quite refreshing for its original blend of genres and emotional honesty! The direction is accurate and non-intrusive. The script: magical! The story and its main characters are the real stars here. All the actors are very competent and Zarko Potocnjak does his part with a trace of irony that perfectly befits his role.. Vintage SF trash at it's best. This is a movie that's very nostalgic for people from ex-Yougoslavia such as myself because of the way it was shot, locations, clothes, setting. It's a sci-fi comedy with a special vibe and twisted humor,trashy special effects that add to the experience with actors who still play in these lands till today. I would even say a classic of the era, a must watch especially if you are from the Balkans, watch it with friends! I think this is sort of an abandonware because both countries that co-produced this don't exist any more (Yugoslavia and Chekoslovakia) so you can find it on Youtube these days. A definitive must watch for sci-fi trash fans.
