"A tapestry of new beginning fantasies and psychedelic colors set to easy-listening sounds. Dealing with surprisingly earthbound problems, and peppered with the corresponding props, Eolomea is proof of a cinematic “détente policy” reaching even into East Germany. The script portrays a self-assured, skilled woman and, at her side, the character of Dan, who was an unusually civil captain for the genre."  —2017 Berlin International Film Festival

"The film becomes a homage to all those brave scientists who investigate at the borders of human reason and rules. A homage to those who are willing to sacrifice everything and to put back personal life and feelings in the name of science."
— Michael Grisko in apropos Film 2002, Berlin

"The film conveys an almost 'sleaze-atmosphere' in the style of Jess Franco productions of the late 60's with its easy-listening-to music of the 70's, and the southerly ambience."

— Carsten Henkelmann, Sense of View, 2001

"This East German space-travel film depicts the difficulties experienced by intrepid explorers: resistance to new exploration by bureaucrats, confusing instructions from scientists, the lure of the familiar and, of course, the difficulties of the exploration itself. In this film, the planet which might be explored, if the bureaucrats will look the other way for a moment, is called Eolomea."
