War of the Planets (1977)

★★★★★ · Good Movie · JohnCamo · 2020-05-08

I thought it was a good movie. So different from concurring sci-fy that it was enjoyable. Captivated me enough to watch it to the end. Displayed plot characteristics that mimicked todays movies with an old school feel. Artistic mannerism gave it its own feel . Some things left unanswered which gave it a premise for a possible second movie. It had certain qualities which made it similar and different at the same time. May be a b movie but it does show plot lines similar to concurrent movies. Over all I enjoyed it. I gave it a highest rating due to diversity of films in current era vs plot…

★★★★ · Like a fine parmegianno- cheesy and delicious! · kerriganm · 2016-04-01

This film has everything a space opera needs: - Lurid colors and trippy space music - Inappropriate use of bodysuits and tunics - Blue aliens with pointy ears - Wacky special effects and props (one guy has a large calculator taped to his wrist by way of communicator) - Computerized sex But questions remain. Why do we think that in the future, we will all wear the same outfit? And all look good in tight pants? Because no. Why was half this film shot in the dark? True, it adds a bit of tension- like "I wonder what's happening in this damn murky film" tension. For the first half of the film…

This movie is hilarious. It is painful to sit through the whole movie, but the music almost makes it worthwhile. "I've tried every communication--even the radio!"

★★ · Italy Strikes Back · mandrakes · 2009-04-01

On the heels of Star Wars comes Cosmos: War of the Planets. Not to be outdone, the Italians figured (wrongly) that they could make their own movie just as good as America. Do you like sitting around talking or even sitting around looking at one another? Then this is the movie for you. It makes a good alternative for those who felt that 2001's pacing was too heart-pounding and rapid-paced. As a lover of bad movies even this was hard to watch. No wonder no one has reviewed it yet. I doubt anyone can make themselves sit through it all the way.

★★ · Imitation Star Trek · I_loved_this movie! · 2010-07-31

An imitation of Star Trek without any engaging personality. Even the voices seem to be a deliberate reflection of Kirk, Sulu, Scotty, Spock, Uhuru, and computer. Familiar story of humans vs. the machines they created. The identical uniforms and stiff characters make the humans so much like robots that it doesn't seem to matter whether the "humans" win or not. Two stars rating is being generous to the film.

★★ · insert many almost sci-fi words in non-sense manner here... · The One Above All · 2018-09-18

I hope this movie was damaged in translation but its really bad in the non-enjoyable way. Trying to be serious but failing miserably. Turn on videos 1 and 2 activate monitors vectors delta a 1 o alpha beta, science oxygen... math stuff ...WTF! well its just throw around some bad efx and add a dash of almost sci - fi terms in serious poor non sci-fi way and some good sound effects for the era and bad outfits... boom you get this movie... thats sci-fi baby
