A real genre classic for stop motion fans...
It is hard to spot which is the special effect - the cast or the dinosaurs!
For all lovers of seventies shlock!

Loved it!

DVD Review: "PLANET" CAMPY FUN BUT A LITTLE DULL
Summary: 3 Stars

SORRY TO BE THE SOUR PUSS OF THE REVIEWERS BUT THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY WIDE SCREEN EDITION OF "PLANET OF DINOSAURS" WAS GOOD AND REAL BAD AT TIMES.
BUT I TEND TO LOOK BACK AFTER I SAW THE FILM AND HAVE FUN MEMORIES IN SPITE OF IT'S VERY LOW BUDGET MOVIE MAKING. BEING ONE OF THE LAST STOP MOTION ANIMATION B-MOVIES I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SOMETHING A KIN TO A GOOD OLE SINBAD MOVIE. IT WAS A LOT SHORT OF THE SORT OF DINO FILMS I REMEMBER AS A KID AT THE DRIVE-IN THEATRES IN THEIR DAY. I'LL GIVE IT TO JAMES WHITWORTH THOUGH FOR SPORTING THAT PAINTED-ON BLUE AND WHITE POLYESTER SPACE SUITE WITH THE WHITE TENNIS SHOES ROVING AROUND THE DESERTED "PLANET". EVEN AN EARLY SCENE WHERE ONE OF THE FEMALE CO-STARS BARES DOWN TO HER BIKINI, ONLY TO JUMP IN A LAKE TO RETRIEVE SOME LOST EQUIPMENT AND GET PROMPTLY EATEN BY A DINO-FISH OF SOME SORT (BLOOD IN WATER TO BOOT). ALL IN ALL THOUGH I FOUND MYSELF FORCING THIS ONE DOWN LIKE A BAD NOVEL, JUST HOPING IT WOULD END RATHER THAN JUST HAVING FUN WITH THE FILM AND ENJOYING MYSELF. I GIVE THIS NOT SO OLD DINO FILM A C+ FOR AT LEAST KEEPING ME IN THE GAME TILL THE END..KIND OF...(THIS IS A GOOD DVD FOR ANYONE'S OLDER MOVIE SCI-FI COLLECTION..BUT ONLY IF YOU LIKE VERY B-MOVIES)

DVD Review: PLANET OF DINOSAURS
Summary: 4 Stars

CHEESEY MONSTERS BUT VERY GOOD SINCE I LIKE MOVIES LIKE THIS
I RECONMEND BUYING IT

DVD Review: Enjoy the creatures....ignore the acting
Summary: 3 Stars

Filmed as the '70s drew to a close, "Planet of Dinosaurs" represents one of the last examples of the skillful use dinosaur stop-motion animation before computer animation began to dominate the scene. For fans of the art, this is a worthwhile entry. Granted, the acting by the humans involved is pathetic. So just ignore it and enjoy what the special effects artists on this film identify in the commentary as a tribute to Ray Harryhausen. And a worthy effort it is!

DVD Review: Planet of Dinosaurs - best DVD edition despite the cover mistake
Summary: 4 Stars

Another movie short on budget, but great on thrills, Planet of Dinosaurs gets an official release. It is waaaaaay better than Goodtimes.
The story is simple. Astronauts land on a well, you guessed it a Planet of Dinosaurs. Tons of dinosaurs,big and small, with a spider thrown in as well. Some minor gore.
The print is widescreen, and was taken from both 35MM and 16MM film sources, which you will notice..
Recommended to fans of low budget B movies, Dinosaur movie lovers..the dino EFX are pretty damn good all things considered
Better than that other goofy dinosaur movie Dinosaurus...
The cover states that this is the 20th Anniversary edition, but it is the 30th Anniversary edition. After emailing Retromedia, Fred Olen Ray says they're not going to fix the cover...shame on you Fred
Overall Retromedia did a good job with this movie print - but the cover mistake is huge.
