Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
SlyGuy21 I can appreciate what Rodriguez and Tarantino are doing here, making a ridiculous homage to the grindhouse genre of drive-in movie. You obviously don't watch these for the plot or characters, you watch this for the gross-out and action. This has both of those and then some. Paying respect to exploitation movies that came before it, this won't appeal to everyone, but it's a fun ride if you know what you're getting into. Some moments go a little far for me though, most notably the part where Tarantino's junk falls off, the kid accidentally shooting himself, and the dog getting run over. The last two are just taboos that Rodriguez decided to do, which is his decision, it's just really dark compared to the ridiculous action that's in the rest of the movie. Also serious comedy props for having the "missing reel" sequence and skipping like 30 minutes of the movie randomly. I thought that was really funny. The cast is also really good, the only negatives I have are the above moments, aside from that though, this is a really fun B-movie.
hellholehorror What to know what happens when good filmmakers with a large budget made a bad film looking like it has no budget? Then watch Planet Terror (2007). I have seen a lot of zombie films and I would say that this is quite good. The biggest problem is that it tries too hard to be a trashy b-movie, the best trashy movies are low budget with lots of creativity. The gore is bloody and unrelenting with a slightly dark comic twist. I felt like I had seen it before when I hadn't. Fun but would have been better if it was trashy and not imitation trashy.
malibeli This movie represents for me masterpiece,Robert Rodriguez killed it for me in this one,First of all its a movie for man,ladies don't even think about this one.The movie is full of guns,hot chicks,hot chicks with a gun instead of a leg,macho behavior and a good sense of humour .Also if your a true fan of action movies you will love planet terrorI'm just gonna finish off saying that i probably watched this movie more than any other and i watched a lot of movies.
Screen_Blitz Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino collaborate to make an action-horror double feature known as Grindhouse, where the movies are filmed to obtain the looks of old exploitation films from the 70s and 80s. With Quentin Tarantino's action feature 'Death Proof' dealing with a psychotic Hollywood stuntman preying a woman with his black Chevrolet Nova, this half directed by Robert Rodriguez pays a homage to vintage zombie horror B-movies with over-the-top action and blood and gore. This feature follows Cherry (played by Rose McGowan), a sexy stripper with a shady ex-boyfriend Wray (played by Freddy Rodriguez) living in a small Texas town that soon becomes under attacked when a biomedical experiment goes awry and releases a toxic gas that mutates people into gruesome, flesh-eating monsters. Cherry, Wray, and her father join alliance with Dakota Block (played by Marley Shelton), a nurse and mother who is secretly cheating on her husband Will (played by Josh Brolin), local sheriff Hague (played by Michael Biehn), and several other town residents to fight against the flesh-eating zombie onslaught that threaten their town. Bruce Willis makes an appearance as an army lieutenant who witnesses the downfall of the experiment that leads the town in extreme turmoil. Opening a fake movie trailer starring Danny Trejo as the action hero "Machete" who makes an appearance in many of Rodriguez's later films, this film, in my opinion, offers a bit more excitement and storytelling than Quentin Tarantino's 'Death Proof'. It brings the intense zombie action and aggressively over-the-top blood and gore to make every zombie fan blush, not to mention a surprisingly likable cast including Quentin Tarantino makes a cameo appearance. With the vintage cinematography, the film pays a solid homage to the classic action and horror flicks that gained pop cult status in later years of their release. However, the main flaw is that director Robert Rodriguez takes his vintage filming style a bit too seriously, to the point of it being needlessly distracting. The grainy film format can be diverting enough for those not in favor of a degenerate style of filmmaking. The style only becomes more off- putting with the absurdly awkward editing, one example lies at the halfway point with the movie breaking into a brief intermission with the sight of a simulated film reel burning obliviously, filling the screen with flames, and then skipping a portion of the film's storyline. Rodriguez seems to embrace the filmmaking style highly over the characters to where the cinematography serves more as the star of the film than the characters. Those who are able to look past the distracting cinematography, however, will find luxury in the fast-paced plot, the intoxicating zombie shootouts, and Rose McGowan's character mowing down with her machine gun-replaced leg. The cast's performances are not particularly stand strong, but as the film pays a homage to old films that lacked stellar acting, many may find somewhat forgivable.Planet Terror is a fun and entertaining zombie action flick, but a bit faulty in terms of style. I personally find this half of Grindhouse more entertaining than 'Death Proof', though Death Proof is slightly improving in cinematography. This film is worth watching for all Robert Rodriguez fans, and a definite no-go for the faint of heart as this film is piled with absurd amount of gore and violence from start to finish.
