Movie Reviews

DVDTalk.com - 3/10 by Scott WeinbergI could say it's laughable, embarrassing, woefully inept, and absolutely Ed Woodsian in style and presentation, but why bother?
User Review - 10/10 by Bobby DThis is a great film with a funny alien. While I was watching the film I noticed how the movie might appeal to science fiction fans. It also was not the worst film MST3K has reviewed. I think it was a fun episode and the movie was a great choice. It has many ideas put out there and the Solarites do look funny. I enjoyed the film and the episode together. It was fun to watch but also enjoyable to see what a science fiction like this one from 1961 would look like.
User Review - 8/10 by Simeon Dc'mon folks this is freakin' funking sci-fi classic
User Review - 6/10 by Peter WYeah it's slow and cheesy but I dig this movie. I still think he should've gone with the mute brunette tho.
User Review - 6/10 by Orlok WBit of an oddball movie about an astronaut that is forced to land on an asteroid, is shrunk to teeny tiny size, and find out he's been captured and forced to stay on the planet, for no REAL apparent reason. While he's there, he finds out that (apparently) there's only 5 people on it including him (oh and an alien), the 2 females on the planet don't have much men selection do they? No wonder they go apeshit. This film does have some fun weird ideas, but it's a bit of a chore to sit through.
User Review - 6/10 by Henrique FAltough not really a classic b-movie, nor a "so-bad-it's-good" type of movie, this very 50's looking sci-fi movie from 1961 is worthy of your attention. From time to time it can drag a bit but also, from time to time, it can surprise you. And yes it does have some "so-bad-it's-good" moments.
User Review - 4/10 by Steve MNot a bad sci-fi outing ,and considering it's out of the cheap bin, pretty good looking. Standard rocket gets sucked into a mysterious planet with a bunch of yokels who want the astronauts to stay, and a monster shows up. The ending pissed me off though.
User Review - 4/10 by William WThe thing about bad movies, at least the worst ones, is the lack of any sort of structure, or story ideas. Actually, anything resembling some sort of talent put into them. Sure The Phantom Planet is not a great movie at all, but after watching it, you can tell that an attempt was made by someone to do at least something with it. It didn't work, but the movie has some sort of structure and has something to say, which is more than I can say for a lot of the bad movie fodder floating around out there. Don't get me wrong though. I'm not saying it's a hidden gem. The dialogue is corny and laughable, a lot of the effects are bad and the acting is not great, but it does feel genuine. At least it does to me. I rather liked the effect of Captain Chapman shrinking in his spacesuit after he crashed on the planet's surface, but that's the most memorable thing about it, and they even re-use it later in reverse when he goes back to normal size. The Mystery Science Theater 3000 version offers up some laughs, which is better than nothing.
User Review - 4/10 by Wes SSlow, rather boring, but campy enough. The story doesn't seem to go anywhere, and the characters are lousy. The effects aren't too great. There's nothing too special, but it's not entirely bad.
User Review - 4/10 by Peter BThis wasn't as bad as I would've expected. Of course the crappy 60's effects suck and the plot is stupid and unbelievable but I was actually interested in it at times. And I like that they made movies back then that you aren't expected to take totally seriously.
