Too many fans seem to be blown away

The first must-see film of the year.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I laughed when someone else wrote a review acting like this was some serious movie that needed this or that or whatever. Come on! It was fun! I gave it a 10 to offset all the wannabe film critics with no souls. A movie worth seeing? yes! Boobs, butts, guns and stupid references to other movies. How can you not gid that?

When I heard that Plan 9 From Outer Space was being remade, I was actually kind of excited to see it. Not because I thought it would upgrade the original, but because the original was so bad - without trying to be - it was fun to watch. I think that's why this remake falls so flat. The original was so bad it was good. This one is just plain bad.Spoilers ahead, so read at your own risk.Now, I have to admit that I watched the movie from about the 20 minute mark to the end on 2x speed because it turned into another mind- numbing zombie chase movie. First off, you never see the aliens like you did in the original. The only "alien" you see is just a glowing orb or something in a school. There's no jump-suited aliens discussing the plan and no flying saucers.Second, there's no day/night and then day/night transitions of the police (or anybody) driving down a road. Nor is there any stock footage and the same shots shown over and over just for the sake of scene transition. Third, there's no recitation of the iconic "stupid! STUPID! STUPID!" line. That HAS to be in there somewhere.Basically, This remake can't make up its mind if it wants to be another chapter or take-off of "Night of the Living Dead" or a cross between WWZ and Thundarr the Barbarian. They removed too many of the elements that made the original what it was - a cheap, bad sci- fi zombie alien movie - and just left the mindless zombies to run amuck. Now, to be fair, the original Plan 9 wasn't exactly Othello revisited, so one shouldn't expect this remake to transform it into something that it's not. But I was expecting something that would be mildly watchable either (a) because of improvements or (b) because of its campyness. Unfortunately, it provided neither. The original had a "make a movie on a shoestring budget" feel and look to it. This remake lacks even that.

Plan 9 (2015)** (out of 4)A UFO is seen coming into a small town and later that night there is some sort of strange light that causes the dead to come back to life. A group of survivors try to fight off the zombies and make it until morning.As the title and opening scenes clearly suggest, this here is a remake of Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s 1959 film PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE but it actually could have been another remake of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Those looking for a director remake of the Wood might feel cheated as there are some obvious nods to that film but once all the zombie action starts it's your typical George Romero type setting with people trying to stay in doors while zombies are on the outside.With that said, director John Johnson has actually made a good looking movie that at least looks professional unlike so many other low-budget movies out there. I was a little worried that we were going to be getting some poorly made film but that wasn't the case at all. Visually the film was quite good and at least you could tell that there was talent behind the camera in many jobs. I thought the editing was quite good and several of the performances were better than you'd expect.The film also had some nice gore shots. I'm not going to say the work is on the same level of Tom Savini but it's much better than you typically see in these types of movies. There was even some nudity thrown in, which as all horror fans know is pretty hard to find these days. PLAN 9 certainly isn't a masterpiece but it's mildly entertaining. The biggest problem I had with the film is that at 106 minutes it's way too long. The film really could have lost fifteen to twenty minutes.

This film rated 6.3 when watched, 2 days later I see its 4.7 The film is very annoying on a number of reasons - it jumps around in timelines unclearly, the acting is not natural, the characters do not relate together on a credible scale and the whole story is unfinished without imparting viewer satisfaction or completion.It smacks of a teenage splatter movie where they all enter the darkened room without turning the light on and get slaughtered one by one...it was not trying to be, but that was the result.It didn't achieve on an intellectual scale what they were trying to do, and the entertainment factor was missing too. Just annoying really.
