El planeta errante

The plot summary is accurate. The film is titles 'PLanet on the Prowl' in the US, but also as 'War between the Planets'. What the first reviewer is describing is 'War of the Planets', a film of this "series", but with a different cast. The series is called (in the US) 'The Gamma I Quadrilogy', and they are *gems*. So bad, they are GREAT. My favourite is 'Wild, Wild Planet'. If you love old or campy Sci-Fi, you will fall in love with that charmer.

As far as 'Planet on the Prowl/War Between the Planets" goes, it is boring. Not bad enough to be good, and not good enough to watch it again.

As you can see from the time when it's made you can't expect very good special effects but the movie himself isn't that bad. It's about natural disasters on earth which already destroyed many big cities. As the origin of this scientists figured out a moon or planet far away. Now the crew of a space shuttle should go there and solve the problem...

Something in space is causing disaster on earth.

An unexpected thrill to find this is 2022. The last time I saw a 60s Italian science fiction film was back in the 70s on a box shaped TV screen. Now it was in widescreen with lots of red and orange (my favourite colours) all over the place - mainly in the climax.

I am fully aware this movie pinched things from other Italian films but because this screening came before the other movies - I had a ball with this flick!

The dialogue is far from perfect but because War Between The Planets is such a visual delight (the sets, props, hardware, the red) I can forgive the wooden conversations.

Well worth watching but only with a quality widescreen print.

Saw it When I was 7 in 1970. Maybe 1st movie ever saw in a cinema. I remember being amazed. At that age you never forget. Anyone know where I can re-watch it? Yeah I know it sucks.

Rewatched it finally. Sucks

Remember that sci-fi skit you and your buddies made up and performed in front of your third grade class? Someone made it into a movie. Minus the good parts. This is one of those films you keep watching because you expect it to get better. It never does. If you go out for refreshment you may not want to come back.
