I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This film seems like a B-movie or below. Acting bad, humor minimal, action predictable. It took me 4 hours to watch it at home and the whole time I was wondering how could Bruce Willis agree to play on this... Totally overestimated.
This has to be one of the grossest zombie movie ever. I had hard time watching some of the scenes, especially the scenes at the hospital.Some of the scenes were quite funny. I would have loved Wray to be more super-soldierish, but he was okay. Cherry had some of the best parts in the movie. Wray said, "Some of the best jokes are about cripples". I think that was what made Cherry more funny.I did not like the end fight sequences at the end. Girl with machine- gun foot shooting bullets and flying on grenade blast is not my cup of tea.Not counting those gross moments and machine-gun foot shootings, I think the movie is decent enough.
This movie essentially begins with a biochemist by the name of "Abby" (Naveen Andrews) trying to sell a new biological weapon to an army officer named "Lt. Muldoon" (Bruce Willis). When an argument breaks out between the two of them the biological agent is released into the atmosphere which causes people to turn into flesh-eating zombies. Fortunately, there are a few people in the local area who are resistant to the deadly vapor but in order to survive they will still have to contend with an ever-growing zombie epidemic. Now rather than reveal any more of this film and risk ruining it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this is one of those films that viewers will probably either love or hate. That said those who view this film as a work of genius will no doubt love this movie. Others, like myself, will see it as an enormous waste of talent in which the director (Robert Rodriguez) opted for cheap gimmicks and pyrotechnics in order to make an artistic statement. Personally, I didn't think the movie was that bad but I certainly feel it could have been much, much better. Accordingly I rate it as average.
Robert Rodriguez's love of all things trash come together perfectly in Planet Terror. The film isn't simply tongue in cheek, there's real wit throughout. The atmosphere is so overly bathed in horror, that no matter how ridiculous the events get they seem to fit into this nightmare comedy with ease. It also helps that he gets some great work from his cast and a good enough performance from Rose McGowan who is a bit too self aware here. I actually prefer the longer version of the film, as apposed to the abridged version that played in Grindhouse - there's more humor and the characters are a bit more fleshed out. The gore is well done and mostly played for laughs and while the narrative is basically stitched together and light as a feather, Planet Terror is Rodriguez's best work.
