Let's start with the the special effects, these are cross between Jerry Anderson's, UFO and Babylon 5. You can really tell that it is mainly CGI green screen and very little in terms of physical sets. When they do use physical sets you can see things like the car switches and even recycle symbols and the bottom of walls. So don't expect Star wars effects but they are OK. The acting is pretty wooden, but the actors try their best and keep the story moving forward at quite a nice pace. It is watchable for the 90 minutes it lasts. I think they could have made more of the girls story line which added a nice twist.

Obviously the amount of budget they had to make this movie was pretty small but they made the best of it and I definitely think it is worth a watch.

'Ghost Planet' is an indie sci-fi film that takes you through space on a journey that you are not entirely sure where it is headed at first. The dialogue and interactions between the characters as they decide the pros and cons of this technology keeps the story engaging. It makes you think about the cost of pursuing something unknown and new and whether or not it is worth it with everything on the line. Aside from the low budget with the effects and some source-y lighting along with everything in the focal plane being in focus on certain shots, the story is pretty compelling and if you like sci-fi, this might be up your alley.

First off, I'm writing this without reading any of the other reviews. This is what it comes down to. It's a pretty decent movie, even though shot low budget. It's another of the newer computer generated background films. Usually I detest those, but this is a little more. I find it pretty refreshing to see a movie with nobody I recognize in it. So no preconceived notiond about expectations. The "effects" are better than average for a low budget film, and they've used a few models, notably the land vehicles, but they're still pretty decent. And... a fairly good story/ plot, too. I watched almost the whole thing in one setting... but had to leave. Yet I was drawn back because I really wanted to see the ending. Again, not a "great" movie, but certainly watchable. I enjoyed it. Usually I turn these low budget things off after maybe 15 minutes. Perhaps I should have given it a 6..

Honestly one of the worst films I have ever watched, awful plot, even worse special effects, diabolical acting. This is is boring, unrealistic and VERY clearly a low budget film, you can even tell the people in the background are fake and it's honestly laughable. DO NOT waste your time with this joke of a movie, I did after seeing the 'amazing' reviews it had, THEY ARE fake, there is no way they're real. If you end up watching this shambles of a film anyways I guarantee you'll agree with me. I honestly wish I could get back the time I wasted on this film, I've seen better 2 star rated movies than this garbage.

Ok, credit where due first. Not bad CGI ... then again even for a budget film you had better be able to pull that off in 2024! The staging was acceptable and the camera work showed some promise, but wasn't really there , especially when they had to meld the live with the CGI..

And this is where I diverge from a bunch of reviewers that either only reviewed one or two movies (hmmm, friends and family?) or someone that rates EVERYTHING a 10. (Really? Just stop the BS.)

The script does not even garner a 'meh'. Not only can you tell there is no polish, it sounds like an original write that never went through ANY thoughtful review. The acting was stiff as a 2x4. Did they even feel the parts, because I got nothing. And lastly, as someone with a modicum of science knowledge your premises, descriptions, and implementation IN A SCI-FI FILM where laughable at best. Ever hear of the concept 'suspension of disbelief'? This film failed.

I prayed for a 3 star performance, but it never gets there.

And yeah, I docked another point to offset a bunch of reviews filled with complete crud.

Just finished watching this movie on Amazon Prime and enjoyed it. The special effects are pretty good even though I saw a car stereo (had bass /treble settings) turned at 90 degrees to make a door entry device. The three main characters are engaging and the plot is OK. It is always funny that the English play the bad guys, the Americans always like doing this for some reason. Most of the free movies provided by Amazon prime aren't that good so it was a nice surprise to be able to watch a fairly good sci-fi movie. There were a couple of good ideas about what the future would be like. The movie was 1 and half hours long which seemed to pass pretty quickly so I must have enjoyed it.

I thought this would be a bit like an old school space film like the Blake's 7 TV series but the story of 3 siblings on a space scavenger hunt to get the big payoff type adventure works well with a neat twist in the ending. The cgi is impressive for an indie film and I totally loved the use of miniature models and pyro for some scenes. The sets and costumes are impressive when you consider how many were required in addition to the cgi backdrops which must have be a huge task! The film also has a certain Luc Besson 5th Element style vibe in the music and background city scenes which is nice (I'm sure I saw a certain Bruce Willis taxi in there too!!). Overall a very watchable film even for a non sci fi fan.

A group of astronauts travel to a desolate planet, uncovering a lone survivor who may hold the key to unlocking its alien technology. But when a gang of mercenaries show up, a deadly fight for survival ensues. It all makes for a pulpy throwback space western vibe that never takes itself too seriously, with a likeable cast and pacing that moves briskly enough to keep things fun.

For a low budget indie, it also looks impressive, with almost every shot of the film featuring at least one complicated visual effect. It's incredibly ambitious and, having dabbled a little into VFX world myself, the fact that it's even possible to make something like this on a micro budget shows just how far we've come in the last 20 years. Well worth a watch.

Ghost Planet is a bonkers, out of this world (no pun intended) movie. It's fun.

With limited resources Philip J. Cook and his team have made a fun, popcorn movie.

There's a blade runner-esq city car chase, bubblegum, cool heads-up-displays and grande visual effects.

The film explores space exploration, androids, future cities and lost civilisations.

For a low budget independent movie, the film aims really high with the visual effects. I think the matching of the lighting with the background green screen could have been better to make the world more convincing but that said its a really amazing effort.

The performances of note include actors, Ulysses E. Campbell and Georgia Anastasia

3 siblings fly an alien ship to random places in the universe. Looking for more alien ships. But they can't control the destination the ship goes to ... errr Ok. Except they tell us that after flying it directly back home. Plot fail. Bad effects, US college bro style narration ... bad acting, bad uniforms, gave up and turned off at ths point.

This starts as a total rip off of the Heechee saga by Frederick Pohl.. cgi is low budget... you've seen better . Acting is ok. Characters not so well developed - looks like they were green screen for most of the production , sometimes it looks like an animated movie. Plenty of copied ideas - bladerunner dancing girls and flying cars ( and that weird noise that sounds like someone revving a huge engine), dystopian cities, organ harvesting and lots of neon ... then there's a chase that is exactly like the one in Star Wars where the assassin nearly gets away... honestly don't waste your time . Wait for someone to do the Heechee/Gateway story with a better budget. I gave it 20 minutes - I tried ..

As a film it was awful. Wooden acting, poor dialogue, non existant sets, weak story line with no tension or serious drama. It has a certain style which is not like a real scfi movie. They could have played on this stylng and it would have been ok if it wasn't for the poor acting and dialogue. It may be that the actors had nothing to work with as it is clearly all green screen with no real set or props. But apparently it cost only $14k to make. It is basically a bit like the story bits in xbox games released as a film with same CGI and weak computerised dialogue. Interesting experiment but don't do it again please.

The music and flashy special effects are like something from a fan production or a video game, with much of the latter looking like a very cheap version of the Blade Runner city scenes. Worse than that is the wooden acting. Poor delivery of dialogue. When characters cut in or interrupt each other, there is always a clear pause between one person stopping and the other starting. There are frequent errors in English (e.g., "a millennia" or "wet some appetites") so the whole project needed a good script editor. The production values are poor, with the surprisingly small cockpit of the supposedly high-tech Tesseran ship the only bit you see (even although the rest could have easily been rendered by CGI).

I didn't last long...

The movie's plot was undeniably superb, with an intriguing and well-thought-out story at its core. However, everything else about the film was an absolute disaster. The production quality felt severely lacking, with a budget that seemed far too low for a film of this scale. The animation was subpar, especially considering the standards set in 2024, often feeling clunky and poorly rendered.

The acting left much to be desired, with performances that were either flat or overly exaggerated, failing to convey the depth of the story. The direction, too, was a major letdown. It felt disjointed and lacked the finesse needed to elevate the narrative, leaving the entire movie feeling amateurish.

Overall, while the plot had immense potential, the execution fell short in almost every other department. I honestly don't know why I stuck around to watch it until the end-perhaps out of sheer hope that it would improve. Unfortunately, it never did.

Ghost Planet felt like a mixture between Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, Robert Rodriguez's Sin City, with a touch of George Lucas's Star Wars prequels for good measure. Writer/director, Philip Cook, did a great job of bringing a larger than life story to the screen with a modest budget. Though the visual effects were done on a budget they did a great job of bringing this new Sci-Fi world to life. At times I felt like I was watching a speeder chase in Star Wars Attack of the Clones, other times it was like watching a bar scene from Sin City, or even yet the scale and look of the world felt like that of Blade Runner. You can tell that Phillip Cook is a lover of classic Sci-Fi Films like these. And you can't help but smile at the nods to those worlds.

From a technical stand point the film looked good. The use of green screen to expand the scope of the worlds took a bit to get used to, but once you did it really helped tell the story Cook was going for. I also really loved the use of miniatures for all the vehicles on the Ghost Planet. Super fun touch that gave it a sense of retro realism!

If you are in the mood for a fun indie sci-fi adventure, give Ghost Planet a try!

The first scenes show the inside of a spaceship above an alien planet. The ship itself looks like the inside of someone's shed covered in bits of polystyrene with some standard Sci fi consoles. Everyone is wearing hoodies in deep space and not even matching ones or new. One at least was bobbly. The lighting is terrible and the dialogue even worse. Honestly it's not that hard to create the inside of a convincing looking spaceship. So bad I struggled to finish the film, the super amateurish look and sound was a big distraction despite the premise of the story which was an interesting one. A wasted opportunity!

Ghost Planet is an extremely ambitious and visually stunning independent Sci-Fi film. The movie follows a small group of astronauts as they travel to an unknown planet. There were several breathtaking sequences in this film that especially impressed me, such as a really thrilling flying car chase scene. The whole movie is done on a really epic scale. It is obvious that quite a lot of work went into the film to make it look as good as it did. The special effects were really well done. I thought the musical score was also very effective. The filmmakers should be proud of this movie. It is an impressive accomplishment.

You could tell that the actors thought this was going to be their big break but unfortunately the story was flat, the acting was wooden and the sets just reminded me of watching a play. I honestly thought the curtain could come down at any moment and, since it didn't, I had to switch it off.

I guess you could watch it if you were a die-hard sci-fi freak who needed to watch anything related to the genre but otherwise I wouldn't waste my time.

The CGI was so basic that it almost felt like a cartoon and this rudimentary level of graphics made it even harder to feel immersed in the storyline at all.

This is a movie meant for people like me. It is not a big budget blockbuster with a bunch of studios behind it. This is the kind of movie that becomes a cult classic. The kind of movie that fans of RHPS, Aliens from Outer Space, and Lost Skeleton of Cadavra would appreciate. It's a genre unlike any other. People who don't know what those are, probably won't understand. But for the rest of us weirdos, this movie is the kind that we'll be quoting for decades to come. It's fun. It's cheesetastic. When I watch movies like this, it reminds me that with a little bit of effort, I could make the kind of film I love watching.

Ghost Planet invites viewers into an intimate corner of science fiction, offering a mix of heartfelt storytelling and a clear love for the genre. From the first scene, it pulls you into a unique setting where personal connections drive the plot, even as the mysteries of the universe unfold around them.

While Ghost Planet isn't backed by blockbuster funding, it thrives on creativity. The visual effects, though modest, serve to create an atmosphere that feels immersive and otherworldly. Clever use of practical effects and imaginative set design bring the planet to life, showcasing the filmmakers' skill and passion for storytelling.
