    • Trivia
      This movie became such a hit in the Soviet Union that many new parents named their little girls "Aelita".
    • Goofs
      When the spaceship takes off, the ascent is vertical, but the footage shown afterwards, which represents the velocity of the ship, is that of a horizontal motion.
    • Alternate versions
      The original running time at 24 fps is 104 minutes, and this was also the running time of the VHS edition with English intertitles. The 1999 DVD edition is slightly longer (111 minutes), with additional titles. In Europe, there are two different cuts with French intertitles, the 2005 Bach edition (85 minutes), and the 2010 Montparnasse edition (70 minutes).

    Best for the design of the Martian Sets and Costumes

    Martian society mirrors the one that the Bolshevik revolution was supposed to replace. Aelita is the nominal Queen of Mars, but it is really ruled by a council of elders, who enslave the Martian workers underground (as in Metropolis). A Russian engineer builds a space craft, flies to Mars and inspires a revolution with the help of a Soviet soldier.

    Interesting and famous as early science fiction. The Martian Sets and Costumes are in the best Russian Constructivist style of the time.
