Classic 70s Italian Sci-Fi cheese

War Of The Planets  Either you are into these type of movies or you aren’t; it’s as simple as that. If you are a sci-fi buff and can appreciate the feel of the older B-movies, this one will most likely resonate with you (it did me). The acting is cheesy, and the story arc a bit shaky, but Cosmos: War of the Planets doesn’t fail to entertain. The story is tight enough to keep you enthralled, and the action keeps up at a decent pace. A renegade captain (Kirk-like character) is selected to save Earth from a hostile alien menace. That’s basically all you need to have a successful movie in this genre. Several unique ideas were thrown in that were copied by others later (like the simulated sex computer- stolen years later in Demolition Man). It’s a classic line when the woman asks the man: “Would you like it slow or rough?”. His care-free response: “You decide.” Love it! The tone of the movie is what really stands out. The sets look good enough and the ending scene delivers some good gore/action. Yes, the costumes are cheesy (what was up with those hats?!), but the women look damn fine in their tight-fitting getups. 🙂 The movie gives you the feel of the 50s sci-fi films with just enough updates as to not be boring. Definitely better than the low rating it has on IMDb. I think that comes from people who are expecting Cloverfield or Independence Day and just don’t get low budget movies. Overall, a tasty slice of Italian sci-fi cheese. 7 out of 10. Seek out a used VHS for a couple clams. Also check out Starcrash and Battle Beyond the Stars.
