Planet Terror

For instance, Cherry´s "useless talents" and how Wray "never misses" become so much more than just witty dialogue filler..... ... Full Review

an excellent soundtrack....bicker in expletive-ridden cut scenes which are occasionally hilarious....frantic action....The story is as ridiculous as you'd expect, with a suitably over-the-top script being adeptly dealt with by the voice actors.....celluloid, ridiculous dialogue.... ... Full Review

Once the blood starts flowing, there is some outrageous fun to be had on Planet Terror, but there are too many leaden exposition scenes to sit through first. A military experiment has gone badly wrong, and when the townsfolk start eating each other, it's up to a pole dancer (Rose McGowan), a sheriff (Michael Biehn), and a drifter (Freddy Rodriguez, no relation) to blow what's left of their brains out. ...

simply enjoy the meticulously recreated B-movie carnage -....This week in particular the films blur together into one great miasma of inadequacy, with eerily similar thematic concerns, identical pretensions....indeed the movie proudly trumps this fact by deliberately dropping a pivotal third-act scene (a title card reading "missing reel" flashes on screen - I tell you, it's a hoot)..... ...

All in all this is a really fun film for genre fans and it is a great addition to any DVD collection. The new cut of Planet Terror runs something like 15 minutes longer but I'll be honest with you - I didn't notice. The kid definitely has talent. ... Full Review

As for which movie is better, it's hard to say -- both are fun, but both are flawed. In an effort to pay tribute to the B-movie flicks that inspired them as kids (and, no doubt, as filmmakers), Tarantino and Rodriguez have opened the floodgates of bad taste with two ridiculously gory, but shamelessly entertaining films. ...

Personally, I think the flick should've better embraced its Seventies inspirations and gone with a straight mono mix. Again, on first viewing, the constant action, mayhem and gore attacks us so heavily that we don't particularly mind the film's flaws. ... Full Review

Robert Rodriguez#39;s Planet Terror is a brilliant homage....Like his innate talent for filmmaking, Rodriguez has a killer instinct when it comes to cramming his home video releases with great, technical special features.....Robert Rodriguez does better than action, it's DVDs.....Filled with buckets of witty dialogue and even more blood, Rodriguez has crafted an action packed survival horror story featuring over the top, cartoon-like violence....Rodriguez is paying homage to..... ...

A real punch to the exploitation score head, which continues right through the brains and out the back of the skull, Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR score is a terrifically fun valentine to the days when budgetary necessity was a genre composer's mother of invention. ... Full Review
