Recensione di Maciste_Brother

I'm a big Richard Corben fan and wanted to see THE DARK PLANET for some time now and I finally got hold of a cassette and I have to say that even though I'm happy to own the video, I have to admit that the whole thing doesn't make much sense. It's very long and repetitive, and it's mostly a collage of nonsensical scenes shot on video or super 8 stitched together haphazardly. I thought the whole thing was fascinating and sorta cool mainly because I was watching home movies of an artist I admire but it's not very successful as entertainment or even as a time killer. It's most definitely for Corben fans only.

I wonder what Corben would be able to do if he had enough money and resources to create one of his warped stories for film. With CGI being cheaper and more spectacular than ever these days, maybe Corben should try making another "home" movie.

The video's cover art was worth the price I paid for it.
