Calling this abomination bad doesn't do it justice. It's beyond bad, it's downright Ed Wood. Action scenes which look like they were filmed by some kid with a handycam in his back yard. Horrible junky props. Special effects which are so incredibly awful you laugh out loud at them.
I gave it a two, and it only scored that high because they at least managed to find a good-looking cast, and the first one to die wasn't who I expected.
If (like me) you don't mind watching the occasional garbage movie just to see how bad things can get, this is worth a view. Everybody else should run away.

Sci Fi takes it to a new low with a promising premise and low budget production values. It is sad what they have done, and if you choose to see this movie, you will know exactly where all the money went! Check out the fascinating 'moonwalking' 'monsters'. I can't believe I dvr'd it! The fact that the first comment covers almost everything I noticed about this film makes it difficult to actually write 10 lines of comment on this travesity. This movie could have been a dozen different movies, with only the initial premise and settings being changed. If you want to have a worse movie viewing experience I suggest you watch the Sci-Fi Movie 'Leeches', or the Wolves of Wall Street. I gave this a 2 out of 10 because a 1 is being reserved for something truly vile and unrelenting. My wife said 'why did you bother?'. I only wish I knew.
A guy gets his hand cut off and falls down a hole into some goo and his arm regenerates in a really silly looking way. Then a bear murders him. This all happens in the first five minutes or so of movie, so i wouldn't really consider it to be a spoiler. As for the way that his hand grows back, lets just say it looks bad. And I mean, worse CGI than the cut scenes for the PC game Fallout, which came out in '97. Anyway I would honestly have to say that "Sabertooth" was a better movie.
Just think about that statement. If Sabertooth is better than your movie, WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOUR MOVIE?
I gave this movie a 3 because it had SOME funny parts, and i have certainly seen far worse, but they actually tried to give it a happy ending, which would lead me to believe that they were actually being serious about it. Actually being serious about a movie that is worse than Sabertooth? Big no-no.
Definitely watch this movie if you like seeing the same shot of a bear's face over and over again with people screaming in between zooming in and hardly any science fiction other than as a poorly designed plot device to put the main characters in an isolated environment with bears.

Yet another Sci Fi movie where anything can happen and does.You want to travel to a planet millions of light years away? Easy-just get yourself a teleporter like you saw in The Fly fill the movie with technical jargon which makes no sense to the layman and you are half way there.On Planet Oxygen. The people selected to go there are actually the 2nd to make the trip-the first lot never came back. They go one at a time by standing on a sort of platform inside the teleporter and a couple of seconds later are on the planet-which in this case is like the Garden of Eden. The last person to arrive turns into mincemeat as the idea of the Fly makes it presence felt-seems there was a "glitch" caused inside the teleporter caused by a foreign object-maybe it was a fly! First thing you wonder as you watch this codswallop is what are they eating but they haven't been there 5 minutes before they start killing! I mean harmless friendly looking bears who only wanted stroking. However it probably solved the food problem as they were seen cooking. Nice touch there-a clean planet with no smoke is already being polluted! And so it goes on-the sound of bullets the discovery of a skull-that of the first visitor- and all in all a pretty unsatisfactory ending where you hoped the bears would surround them and kill them all off. And that was it
Now, given that this movie was made for the Sci-Fi Network (now the SyFy Network), and that I had previously seen a number of other movies made for this network - all of them being terrible - my expectations were very low when I sat down to watch "Savage Planet". But I was just *stunned* by how bad this Canadian-American co-production was. The special effects are some of the worst I've ever seen in a movie, using real cheap CGI that looks nothing like real life. But the movie also has a stupid script, with a story that just has the protagonists moving around for most of the movie, alien animal life that looks exactly like grizzly bears on earth (and apparently ONLY grizzly bears - no other animals are seen in the entire movie!) The actors apparently knew they were in a turkey, because no one even tries to give a good performance. I know that the movie might sound like some kind of a camp classic, but it is simply so bad it's bad. It actually makes some other SyFy network movies look decent by comparison!

- GoofsDuncan states "It would take light-years just to send DNA through space..." implying it would take a very long time (which he confirms in his next line). A light-year is a measurement of distance, not time. Also, the planet they are going to is only 20 light-years away.
