War Of The Planets is an Italian science fiction production with cheesy special effects and British actor John Richardson as the captain of a future spaceship much like the Enterprise. When earth starts getting some strange signals, Richardson and the crew go outside our solar system and find a rogue planet with humanoid slaves working for a super colossal computer that's now running everything. The machine feeds on psychic energy and the humanoids it has as slaves are running out. That's why it wants to colonize earth and enslave its population. The film tries for special effects like those in 2001, but misses the mark in light years and in the dollars Stanley Kubrick had available. I wouldn't worry too much if you miss this one, earth survived and so will you.

Truly bad news. The properties, sets, acting, and effects are all consistently sub-standard. This could be the top of the bottom I suppose all those employed in the movie industry have to work, but, I can't imagine anyone involved in the making of this picture will be proudly telling the grandkids about making this clinker. I LOVE science fiction even the campy stuff. I can excuse the stuff that uses contemporary props in futuristic settings 64 years in the future in 2924,ala "Beyond The Time Barrier" from 1960 I remember seeing it when I was 10, great futuristic sets and then M-2 carbines??!! Really? I can honestly say, don't waste your time.

I am not a fan of the idea that a movie can suck so much and be so terrible that it can, or should, be perceived in any way that which is positive but, at least in description this movie is an exception, fore this movie is so STUPID that it is "a movie almost awesome in its badness", to borrow a phrase! They actually sift music from other films, horror movies & documentaries mostly, & remade it with something that sounds like a 1950s synthesizer...to add to the soundtrack, which is probably the best thing about the film ironically...The ending is actually far more climactic than I would even have imagined giving them credit for & is probably the 2nd best thing about the film, and I even concede that the women do look good in their figure-hugging outfits, but (...it's not like they get naked!), nothing is redeemed & there is & shall forever never be no forgiveness for this excruciatingly lame-ass sh!t-pile!!

This could actually be the Plan 9 Ed Wood predicted so long ago. If this indeed was Plan 9, well chances are Earth had been prepared for it and there have been no casualties. Bless the gods.Whenever I tell my friends about this movie, as well as the other B movies my mother has an obsession with collecting, they never truly believe me when I say that this movie is a very terrible re-imagining of Star Wars. I cannot even dignify a decent review as the previous two reviews already explained what it's about and pretty much state the obvious, so my review here is moot.There's an actor here me and my own mother mistook for Robin Williams, and by all the love in heaven, if Rob was in this movie... not only would the movie be an improvement - it'd probably be a restounding success.Well, in closing, this wasa crummya meataball. 'Nuff said.
