Best movie ever!
Kaelan Mccaffrey
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Ed Wood Jr.'s legendary monument to inept film-making, "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is likely the best known of the classic cult 'bad movies'. The story makes little sense, the cast bizarre, the acting amateurish, the script incoherent, and production values negligible, but like all cult movies, no matter how bad, there is something engaging about the film that makes it watchable (and rewatchable) despite its flaws (with are plentiful). The story behind the production is as entertaining as the film itself and much has been written about movie and on its singular auteur, who was portrayed by Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's excellent bio-pic "Ed Wood" (1994). Rating a film like this is always a challenge as there is a huge discrepancy between what it is (crap) and what it offers (fun), so I will condemn it yet recommend it.

Plan 9 is not the worst movie ever made. It is possibly one of the most amateur movies ever made. If the name of the game is entertainment, then you will get it here in the form of unintentional comedy. The screenplay, plot, cliché dialogue, sets, fx, the complete disregard of destroying the legacy of Bela Lugosi, you name it this movie sucks in so many ways. However, it is watchable, only if you have a sense of humor and can laugh at the film itself.
There are worse films out there. Tons. Worse movies would be something that is so amateurish, but that you can't even make fun of it. Here's my all time best movie to make fun of "Laser Mission" with Brandon Lee. This is a great movie. My worst movie of all time would be Star Wars 7, The Farce Awakens. This is not a movie that you can laugh at. It's a movie you cry at, because it is so sad. Crappy acting, crappy story, killing off a fan favorite character - Han Solo (not mine, but the series), just a modern day action nonsense movie. Here's another garbage movie: Starship Invasions (1977) with Robert Vaughn, Christopher Lee. This is a truly awful movie. It is so bad, the only thing laughable is the stupid costume Lee is wearing. Plan 9 has nothing on this movie. Now, here's a movie that some losers consider the worst movie of all time: Manos, The hands of Fate. I don't think so. Manos has a story, some eerie characters that you will never see before or after in any movie. The dialogue is solid. It has atmosphere! There is comedy and I believe it was intended.
Plan 9 has some of the worst writing and production. The dialogue is so horrendous, it's one cliché after another, hard to watch. The plot is a joke in a not so funny way. The fx are crap. What we have here is a filmmaker who was basically an amateur. The film was produced and released, for that he gets an A. As a film it is a failure - F. For the unintentional comedy the rating is a a D-, 2 stars at best. 1 star given for including Bela Lugosi in a shameful way.Now, since there are over 200 ratings on this "film" and since imdb has gone downhill, where readers cannot opt to view in Chronological order, this review will probably never see the light of day. What a shame. We live in troubled times indeed.

What can I say about Ed Wood that hasn't already been said? If you've ever seen the Tim Burton directed Ed Wood film starring Johnny Depp than you know he was determined to make whatever he wanted at any cost. Plan 9 is what he's most known for due to its schlocky production qualities and its hilariously bad moments. However, is it the worst movie ever made? Actually no, heck it isn't even the worst Ed Wood movie. If you haven't seen Plan 9 you are in for a treat! It features a great introductory narration by Criswell explaining the grave robbing from outer space which features stock footage of Dracula himself, Bella Lugosi until he suddenly gets run over by a car off screen. The imagery in this film inhabits that low budget sci-fi look from the 1950's. We have flying saucers on strings, a fake looking grave yard set and alien technology that isn't the slightest bit convincing. The naivety of the filmmaker is what makes this movie entertaining and the viewing experience doesn't feel torturous as say, Manos The Hands of Fate.

Director Edward D. Wood, Jr. makes an earnest attempt at a sci-fi story, though this movie is famous for being labeled as the 'worst film ever'.Aliens arrive on earth in the form of toy flying saucers filled with beings who sport fancy hairdos and shiny blouses. Earthlings must join together to thwart the extra-terrestrials while concomitantly trying to discover why the visitors are here.Greg Walcott gives a good performance in the role of an airline pilot as does Lyle Talbot as an army general. Also starring wrestler Tor Johnson as a police chief, horror film legend Bela Lugosi as a widower, beautiful vampiress Vampira, and psychic Criswell on hand to deliver an introductory narrative.Followed by Ed Wood's sequel 'Revenge of the Dead' (1960), later renamed 'Night of the Ghouls' by a videographer whom had nothing to do with either film at the time of their release.
