nebula-37029 Review of Battle for the Lost Planet

Battle for the Lost Planet (1986 Video)

Plot holes, crummy special effects, not a bad movie.

[8/10 · 3 June 2020]

This is the kind of sifi movie you are tempted to turn off after the first few minutes when you see how bad the special effects are, and how inane the plot seems, but it actually picks up. There is a lot of humor, and some good lines. The aliens are both ugly and stupid. Denice Coward is a tall attractive actress worth looking at, especially during an encounter was an alien creature, where her butt is fully exposed for your viewing pleasure. However, her Australian accent is out of place. The "genius scientist" is a nerd, who has worked on a solution to regain the Earth for a year, without success, until the "Mad Max" comic relief "Mad Dog" gives him a one line solution. The movie turns out to be entertaining, but they could have used a little more budget for special effects.
