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.

For those expecting an homage to 1950s sci-fi outer space movies, you'll be sadly disappointed. There's very little action in this clunker that revolves around five astronauts returning from Mars who crash land on earth. If you like close-ups of the five actors, then you will enjoy this film. The first 2/3 of the film is nothing but close-ups and dialogue as the astronauts try to find a way to survive in the desert. It's only in the last third of the film that some action begins to take place. Very little action, however. The acting is stiff and there are no scene changes to speak of. Maybe the best thing about the entire film is the production value from the opening credits.

Not recommended!

Another one that looks like it was done as a high school project. Too many closeups, poor to no props and use of the background. Poor acting by all.

Wasn't that keen on it to be honest. I certainly wouldnt recommend this to my pals or host a bad movie night with this as the feature presentation.

Monotonous. Spent maybe $200 on props. Characters just talk talk talk.

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.

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

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.

I really enjoyed this sci-fi adventure film. It had a little bit of everything including lots of "conflict" when things start going bad. Excellent cast and a few surprise twists & turns along the way including a big twist at the end of the film! (Sorry... no spoilers, you'll have to see this film for yourself). :)

I watched this movie on the same day that I watched "Ares 11". Both had the same problem - they would have been better as part of an anthology series. That fact annoyed me a lot while watching "Ares 11" but a lot less so watching this one. This movie was a bit slow at times but wasn't boring overall. I'd prefer to give it 6.5

Most of the acting was good, but some of it wasn't. Some aspects of the story weren't very original, but I think it was put together in a somewhat unique way.

I liked the music a lot. It reminded me of 1950's Sci Fi and "The Twilight Zone". It helped set the right mood and tone. Being in black and white, it was probably supposed to have a 1950's look.
