TheRealMartian's reviews

If it weren't for the busty blonde this film stock would have better served as toilet paper for death row inmates. This film has absolutely nothing to offer the viewer in terms of a watchable cohesive story. The science is so stupid you can't muster enough suspension of disbelief to elevate this drek to the realm of nonsense. The special effects are so dismal they become insulting. The one bright spot is that you should easily recognize the "electronic tonalities" produced for the film FORBIDDEN PLANET, at least you're reminded for a few minutes of a truly great sci fi classic and for that brief moment you can forget that you're actually watching the very worst sci fi movie ever produced. This makes PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE seem a contender for an academy award.

If you ever have the chance to not watch this, take it. You'll thank me.

I don't know any of the circumstances surrounding the bankruptcy of the production company,but this isn't as bad a movie as everyone is saying. Yes, it's production values are questionable,the CGI stuff is bottom shelf,the kind that looks like it was done on a home PC and a good paint proggy,but...I have to say,the story holds up pretty well and it's a compelling story. Travelers to the future inadvertently screw something up and have to return to reverse the damage???Man that's a classic great story. If you can overlook some cheapy SFX the acting is O.K. and the movie moves at a pretty good clip. Of course I had the benefit of watching it on my DVR (tivo)so I was able to swing through this movie in about 1/3 the time it would normally take.So considering that,I'd have to give this one 2 thumbs up =)
