Another Plan from Outer Space

One of those great little independent sci-fi film gems with a 50's retro feel that come out of nowhere. Shot in black and white, enjoyable to watch with a mix of mystery and humor. It is about 5 returning astronauts stranded when they crashland in a desert. I am a big sci-fi film buff and it lived up to my expectations. I highly recommend this film. So treat yourself, like they say get some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

Decent movie, but could've been summed up into a 30 minute twilight zone episode watch the first 10 minutes and then fast forward to the last 20 minutes there's nothing to miss in between

I did not see any correlation between the title (takeoff on Plan 9 from Outer Space?) and the movie. This is just an extended variation of a typical classic Twilight Zone sci-fi episode with a twist at the ending. It is very low budget - below most TV shows Except for a helmet and the junk radio, there are no other real space props in the movie. The space helmet did not even connect in any way to the space suit (just a blue jump suit) so what value was the helmet?

Most of the movie plays out in the desert where they walk around the likely to be hot jumpsuit (save for one female). There is the usual drama of who is in charge the and quest for water.

Toward the end there is a scene with two law enforcement officers. On one, the uniform was poorly fitting and the top shirt button could not be fastened. I could not tell if this was intentional or not.

Writer and Director Lance Polland sets out to make an original film and a tribute to old school 50s sci-fi and succeeds on both levels. The movie stars Jessica Morris, Angie Duke, Scott Sell, Hans Hernke and Minchi Murakami. When a space shuttle crash lands its passengers have no idea where they are stranded or how they will get out of their current situation and we then go on a journey that starts as a slow burn but escalates quickly with some very nice twists and turns that make this a very fun experience to watch unfold. The Acting is solid and the Directing is on point and shooting in black and white was the right choice. This is a great throwback to old sci-fi and makes you want more when it is over. I wont spoil anything here but I was pleasantly surprised the way the movie zigs when I thought it would zag.

Or rather, the dawn of grindhouse; including the "film" "burning"; and jumping ahead to another scene. Tongue in cheek; with some jokes actually working. Another movie from among the many odds and ends streaming for free on Tubi. It will finally get seen there, I guess.
