Ghost Planet

First off, I'm writing this without reading any of the other reviews. This is what it comes down to. It's a pretty decent movie, even though shot low budget. It's another of the newer computer generated background films. Usually I detest those, but this is a little more. I find it pretty refreshing to see a movie with nobody I recognize in it. So no preconceived notiond about expectations. The "effects" are better than average for a low budget film, and they've used a few models, notably the land vehicles, but they're still pretty decent. And... a fairly good story/ plot, too. I watched almost the whole thing in one setting... but had to leave. Yet I was drawn back because I really wanted to see the ending. Again, not a "great" movie, but certainly watchable. I enjoyed it. Usually I turn these low budget things off after maybe 15 minutes. Perhaps I should have given it a 6..

Ghost Planet is an extremely ambitious and visually stunning independent Sci-Fi film. The movie follows a small group of astronauts as they travel to an unknown planet. There were several breathtaking sequences in this film that especially impressed me, such as a really thrilling flying car chase scene. The whole movie is done on a really epic scale. It is obvious that quite a lot of work went into the film to make it look as good as it did. The special effects were really well done. I thought the musical score was also very effective. The filmmakers should be proud of this movie. It is an impressive accomplishment.

Let's start with the the special effects, these are cross between Jerry Anderson's, UFO and Babylon 5. You can really tell that it is mainly CGI green screen and very little in terms of physical sets. When they do use physical sets you can see things like the car switches and even recycle symbols and the bottom of walls. So don't expect Star wars effects but they are OK. The acting is pretty wooden, but the actors try their best and keep the story moving forward at quite a nice pace. It is watchable for the 90 minutes it lasts. I think they could have made more of the girls story line which added a nice twist.

Obviously the amount of budget they had to make this movie was pretty small but they made the best of it and I definitely think it is worth a watch.

'Ghost Planet' is an indie sci-fi film that takes you through space on a journey that you are not entirely sure where it is headed at first. The dialogue and interactions between the characters as they decide the pros and cons of this technology keeps the story engaging. It makes you think about the cost of pursuing something unknown and new and whether or not it is worth it with everything on the line. Aside from the low budget with the effects and some source-y lighting along with everything in the focal plane being in focus on certain shots, the story is pretty compelling and if you like sci-fi, this might be up your alley.

Ghost Planet is a bonkers, out of this world (no pun intended) movie. It's fun.

With limited resources Philip J. Cook and his team have made a fun, popcorn movie.

There's a blade runner-esq city car chase, bubblegum, cool heads-up-displays and grande visual effects.

The film explores space exploration, androids, future cities and lost civilisations.

For a low budget independent movie, the film aims really high with the visual effects. I think the matching of the lighting with the background green screen could have been better to make the world more convincing but that said its a really amazing effort.

The performances of note include actors, Ulysses E. Campbell and Georgia Anastasia
