What to know what happens when good filmmakers with a large budget made a bad film looking like it has no budget? Then watch Planet Terror (2007). I have seen a lot of zombie films and I would say that this is quite good. The biggest problem is that it tries too hard to be a trashy b-movie, the best trashy movies are low budget with lots of creativity. The gore is bloody and unrelenting with a slightly dark comic twist. I felt like I had seen it before when I hadn't. Fun but would have been better if it was trashy and not imitation trashy.

Conceived as part of his Grindhouse double bill with Quentin Tarantino but released separately from Tarantino's DEATH PROOF internationally, PLANET TERROR is a glorious throwback to the schlocky exploitation days of the 1970s, where so-called 'grindhouse' cinemas played a series of low budget gore-filled 'nasties' to audiences eager for sex and sadism. Having seen many of the original exploitation films in question, I'm pleased to say that director Robert Rodriguez gets it spot on and the look and feel of this film is just right.Things kick off on a high note with Rose McGowan go-go dancing. I've never been a fan of this actress, but that's changed right here with the role she has. She's perfectly cast as the tough yet vulnerable dancer who loses a limb but gains a weapon in the zombie attack, and it helps that she's as hot as hell. The one thing I loved straight away was the soundtrack, especially the main theme with the saxophone playing – great stuff that had me humming along.Anyway, the film that follows is a simple story of a zombie attack, starting off isolated incidents and building into an all-out zombie rampage. The usual scenarios are present, from the survivors holed up in a deserted diner to the killer soldiers involved in a cover-up. PLANET TERROR has few twists, instead it lets the narrative drive itself with a series of outlandish action sequences which are thoroughly entertaining. The biggest treat, though, lies in this film's casting; Rodriguez seems to have assembled a bunch of stars, old and new, A-list and B-list, and they come together nicely. I won't go through the bother of listing them all - the cast list is available right here on IMDb - only to say that Michael Biehn and Jeff Fahey really stand out as the kooky brothers, the latter particularly fine after years of being stuck in B-movie limbo. The gooey gore comes thick and fast and only a few scenes descend into inanity; the Tarantino cameo is a bit of a disappointment but the rest works gloriously well.

If Planet Terror had been cut back to the length of the preceding Machete trailer with only the high lights left in, than this movie might have amused as yet another fake trailer, but with a running time of two hours this one is unfortunately a full length Grindhouse imitation..The movie is basically a string of set scenes connected by the flimsiest of plots and filled with equally flimsy characters.This might have all been in reference to the Grindhouse movies as known in the United States, but fortunately for my country we were spared the under par movies as they never crossed the ocean and thus the reference was meaningless to me up to now and I assume to those too young to recall them good old days watching these rubbish movies. Not only is it meaningless to a sizable portion of the worlds population, but Grindhouse features are something you really do not want to get to understand as these movies were bad for a reason and it begs the question why you want to reference a bad movie by making another movie that is exactly the same, that is: equally bad. Now I will go as far as to say that there is some difference, like the actors in Planet Terror are somewhat better no doubt and some of the camera handling seems better, but it is all marvelous ruined by lack of the essential things that makes a movie a good story, such as good characters, a good script and good conversations.This movie has enough stamina for a trailer, a lengthy one perhaps, but something more makes it an exercise in futility, a grind so to speak, and one we can thank Rodriguez and Tarantino to have burdened the world with. Watch Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead instead.

Planet Terror is memorable only because it appeared along Tarantino's Death Proof in a film feature Grindhouse. And i guess that no one apart from trash-horror aficionados would have heard about it hadn't it been the cast and more famous director involved in the double feature.Planet Terror offers a story or a rather a "story" typical for any similar feature film. There are monsters, someone is running away from them, then there was a lot of fighting and gore. And even this is too much of an explanation. You either like such movies or you don't.There are some known names in the cast and Tarantino got some screen time to satisfy his ego-tripping.
