Savage Planet

A guy gets his hand cut off and falls down a hole into some goo and his arm regenerates in a really silly looking way. Then a bear murders him. This all happens in the first five minutes or so of movie, so i wouldn't really consider it to be a spoiler. As for the way that his hand grows back, lets just say it looks bad. And I mean, worse CGI than the cut scenes for the PC game Fallout, which came out in '97. Anyway I would honestly have to say that "Sabertooth" was a better movie.

Just think about that statement. If Sabertooth is better than your movie, WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOUR MOVIE?

I gave this movie a 3 because it had SOME funny parts, and i have certainly seen far worse, but they actually tried to give it a happy ending, which would lead me to believe that they were actually being serious about it. Actually being serious about a movie that is worse than Sabertooth? Big no-no.

Definitely watch this movie if you like seeing the same shot of a bear's face over and over again with people screaming in between zooming in and hardly any science fiction other than as a poorly designed plot device to put the main characters in an isolated environment with bears.

Sci Fi takes it to a new low with a promising premise and low budget production values. It is sad what they have done, and if you choose to see this movie, you will know exactly where all the money went! Check out the fascinating 'moonwalking' 'monsters'. I can't believe I dvr'd it! The fact that the first comment covers almost everything I noticed about this film makes it difficult to actually write 10 lines of comment on this travesity. This movie could have been a dozen different movies, with only the initial premise and settings being changed. If you want to have a worse movie viewing experience I suggest you watch the Sci-Fi Movie 'Leeches', or the Wolves of Wall Street. I gave this a 2 out of 10 because a 1 is being reserved for something truly vile and unrelenting. My wife said 'why did you bother?'. I only wish I knew.

We all know that a movie billed as a "SciFi Channel Original" is pretty much guaranteed to be terrible. But in a galaxy of terrible movies, this is about the worst I have seen. Worse than "The Bone Snatcher." Even worse than "Dog Soldiers." When I saw the ads for it, I thought it looked like it might be along the lines of "The Legacy of Heorot," an excellent Larry Niven sci-fi action adventure novel. Not even remotely like it, unfortunately.

Let's put it this way: No story. No acting. No production values. Not even any interesting action sequences. The only, and I must emphasize ONLY, thing that raises this from a 1 to a 2 is that Reagan Pasternak ("Allison") looks rather nice in a few scenes.

Hey, I knew it would be bad going in...but no way did I ever expect anything this bad.

Yet another unimaginative monsters-chase-humans flick created for the SciFi Channel. I won't reveal the monster for fear you might laugh yourself into a coma. A scientific team with soldiers teleports to a far off planet (a la Stargate) to find a plant that will produce enough oxygen to save Earth, which is choking on its own pollution. The gear everyone carries looks like toys and the canvas tents and cots don't seem very futuristic. Things go wrong, the team is stranded, and the monsters pick them off as they make their way to the back-up teleporter device. Every so often the Director of Photography shakes the camera to tell us the planet is unstable. In between the "excitement" we're treated to some fairly lame interpersonal dialogue. Sean Patrick Flanery makes the best of the dreadful script. The special effects are about as cheesy as you can get. Otherwise, it's a great romp.

I have watched large portions of this movie twice now, and am puzzling over what the purpose of it was. I mainly watched it because Lou D. Philips is listed in the cast, but as far as I could tell, he was nowhere to be found in it. Did I miss something? Otherwise, it has the world's worst cast of generic actors imaginable fighting big bears on a remote planet. Horrible. At one point early on, a woman runs away from one of these big bears and the folks back at camp stand and listen to her scream for help. Suddenly. her head comes rolling into the camp, right up to their feet. But the gal was supposedly quite a distance from camp by then, so all I can think is that bear must have one hell of an arm. I didn't even have to look to know this was a Canadian job. Everybody is doggoned serious. If it were a Hollywood hack job, it would at least be campy.
