Audience Reviews for Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror)

  I preferred Death Proof.... I found Robert Rodriguez to be on top-form throughout this inspired zombie/action/exploitation fick, however much of the duration of the film is like a stuffy, cramped elevator, regarding the over-kill on supporting characters that are really relevant to absolutely nothing. It is almost like a broadway show with the amount of forgettable characters providing mere comic relief or a nonsensical meandering from the plot. The grainy style of Grindhouse cinema works well whilst watching Rose McGowan play a go-go dancer with a machine gun for a leg that is somehow fully functional as an actual weapon, shooting missiles at zombies. Don't try to make sense of it, you'll probably die.

  From writer/director Robert Rodriguez comes the Grindhouse exploitation film Planet Terror. In this apocalyptic thriller a military experiment releases a zombie virus in a small town, forcing a rag-tag group of survivors to band together in order to escape. Rodriguez does a brilliant job homaging the exploitation film style and at delivering over-the-top action sequences. The cast is equally impressive, featuring Rose McGowan, Freddy Rodriguez, Michael Biehn, and Bruce Willis. Still, the explicit gore becomes a bit much, and this extended cut isn't paced as well as the Grindhouse theatrical version. While it has some issues, Planet Terror is a creative and brilliant throwback to a bygone era of filmmaking.

  VERY original, very cool, and very bloody. This and Death Proof make for a perfect pairing. PS.....a machine gun for a leg?! You know you have a winning movie!

  Planet Terror is a film by Robert Rodriquez and released alongside Quentin Taratino's "Death Proof" for the Grindhouse double feature. I highly enjoyed this film and it's always great to see Rodriguez whenever he makes an actual good film. What makes me mad at him is that I know he is a good director, but he makes so many crappy movies (Spy Kids 4, Sharkboy and Lavagirl) that it's very hard to see, but whenever he makes a great film (Machete, Sin City) I always regain my respect for him. This movie is a bloody and disgusting great time, and is one of the best zombie films I have seen. They make this film look like a true grindhouse movie and give us the experience of a film in the 70's. The actors just seemed to be having a fun time; they are funny and do nothing particularly special other than just being zombie killing badasses or sinister bad guys. I will admit its slow starting out because we don't know what we are in for, but soon it really picks up and gets really fun. I loved all the ideas and creativity in the film and it's very rare we see a film with this much entertainment in one package. Planet Terror was a highly entertaining and bloody thrill ride, and I highly recommend to all zombie fans.
