故事勾勒
Wunder der Schöpfung is an extraordinary, fascinating Kulturfilm trying to explain the whole human knowledge of the 1920s about the world and the universe. 15 special effects experts and 9 cameramen were involved in the production of this film which combines documentary scenes, historical documents, fiction elements, animation scenes and educational impact. It its beautifully colored, using tinting and toning in a very elaborated way. Some visual ideas in the sequences with a space shuttle visiting different planets in the universe seem to have to be the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
In the context of Germany's Kulturfilm phenomenon, Wunder der Schöpfung was among the greatest achievements of the 1920s. The production was constructed, rehearsed, and shot over a period of two and a half years, under the supervision of Hanns Walter Kornblum. The idea to describe the universe and man's place in it well suited UFA's Grossfilm mentality, one year before the Metropolis catastrophe. Hundreds of skilled craftsmen participated in the project, building props and constructing scale models drawn by 15 special effects draughtsmen, while 9 cameramen in separate units worked on the historical, documentary, fiction, animation, and science-fiction sequences. Without star roles or even protagonists, the film's plot is crowded with meticulously structured and skillfully acted single scenes an artful mosaic of small vignettes. No less than four credited university professors ensured the factual background behind the scientific and historical events portrayed.
The film's symbol of progress and the new scientific era is a spacecraft, travelling through the Milky Way, making all the planets and their inspiring worlds familiar to us, with the extravaganza of their distinctive features. The film's educational intentions, however, become steadily more obscure, humorous, or even campy as this popularization project proceeds. With the excuse of presenting the end of the world a not-so-new concept as a new, undeniably scientific truth, the film veers happily along a new path, displaying detailed apocalyptic scenes of the end of mankind. For today's audiences, this amazing film demonstrates how the universe was comprehended in the 1920s, and how that view was sold to contemporary audiences.
观众心声
3.5 电影初时代我们所认识的宇宙。
太空科教片，充满了许多原始而有趣的想象。思想者最大的幸福莫过于研究所能研究之物，对于不能研究之事则默默地敬畏。任何实在物不会分化为无！永恒在万物身上奋发开去。你要在存在中把握你的幸福！存在永恒不灭：须知法则会降生命的宝藏维护贮存，宇宙因而装点得美丽喜人。
这部科教片字幕卡和模型动画占了90%，略显枯燥。主要对当时对宇宙的认识做了阐述。
挺有意思的科教片
无声年代的天文学科普片，满怀诚意地以模型、动画及真人表演向大众讲解宇宙奥秘，足够深入浅出了。视觉表达带有鲜明的表现主义时代烙印。它还几次提到中国的天文学贡献
