Pluskylang Great Film overall

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

candyapplegrey This film had us in fits from start to finish. I don't think it's deliberately funny more just a touch tongue in cheek but it's definitely worth watching for its comedic value. Not that it's without a serious moral message. I'll tell you this at the end.A group of bigshots in a lab to observe an experiment are accidentally moved through time and space by a couple of Irish scientists to the eponymous Ferocious Planet.The planet bears an uncanny resemblance to a wood anywhere on Earth (with a few cheap sfx such as violet smoke and flashing lights) although this doesn't stop one of the inadvertently intrepid travellers from taking cell phone photos of trees, mushrooms and other flora which look exactly the same as their Earthly equivalent, to document the experience, while continually failing to even attempt to take any photos of huge dinosaur-like creatures that give chase to our merry band and we assume give the planet its moniker as the place itself is no more ferocious than Central Park. As with the latter, it's the natives that are ferocious rather than the habitat.There is quicksand though and two of the men get stuck in it. The woman says: 'Don't worry. I go to Pilates six days a week.' Who knew that this would give her enough strength to pull two heavy blokes out of quicksand? I'm having words with my yoga teacher as I still struggle to carry my suitcase.A straight-talking type with a deep southern drawl (a least to begin with), identified as the Colonel, takes control, (the likable Joe Flanigan doing a passable impression of Christian Kane), and points out the obvious: 'We're not safe here.' Someone asks: 'Where do you suggest we go?' Colonel: 'Somewhere where our asses aren't sticking up in the middle of the air.'Every now and then, it falls to a character to deliver some of the Colonel's backstory, which is entirely unnecessary but is there to prove that, although he's someone who's been wrongly discredited, he is really an all-round good guy. The dialogue is horribly 'on the nose', so: 'It wasn't your fault that hospital was destroyed.'Here's an absolutely priceless comment from the female Irish scientist or voice of doom: 'According to my calculations, we only have six hours before the aligned conjunction of this dimension with ours suffers quantum collapse. … Once the dimensions fall out of alignment, we're stuck here forever.'However, whenever the Colonel asks how long they have, which he does periodically, neither of the scientists is able to give him any idea, saying things like 'Two hours? Three hours?' or 'Not long now'. They're rather vague. I wouldn't trust scientists that can't even read a wristwatch myself.Anyway, time is supposedly of the essence but the characters still take what can only be described as a desultory stroll through the woods as if they really were wandering in Central Park on an extra long lunch break. My sister comments 'I've seen people move faster than this in Morrisons'. If you've ever been in Morrisons, you'll know that its shoppers move at a snail's pace.Possibly the most hilarious sequence is when the two scientists communicate by scribbling hieroglyphics on a pad, after each scribble, saying stuff like: 'Could it be?' (more frantic writing such as 223-4(x) + å17³²) then 'But' (a few quick pencil scratches) or 'What if' (more frenetic scrawling) then 'It's theoretically impossible!' and so on. This episode stands in for the need for any real scientific explanation of how they got in their current predicament and how they're going to get out of it. Neat.Hapless expendable no. 1 pokes the alien they've captured, which seems to be dead. This results in his death. Scientist: What the hell happened? Hapless expendable no. 2: He poked it with a pen and some black stuff shot out and hit him in the face. Scientist (reprovingly): Don't poke the alien. (This has to be one of the best lines in a sci-fi movie ever and surely a creed we need to adopt for life but it's still not the moral of the tale.)Meanwhile, the Irish accent has proved contagious and has spread from the scientists to the rest of the cast. Even the Colonel is speaking with a slight Irish brogue.So, the moral of this tale would be 'Do not allow Irish people who can't tell the time to fiddle with the space-time continuum' especially one who boasts 'I'm one of the most intelligent people in the world.'

Woodyanders A team of observers check out a groundbreaking scientific device with the ability to open windows into other parallel dimensions. However, said team find themselves in considerable peril after they are accidentally transported to a hostile alien world populated by vicious predatory beasts. Director Billy O'Brien, working from a compact script by Douglas G. Davis, relates the entertaining story at a snappy pace, delivers a few cool bits of mild gore, generates a reasonable amount of tension, and further spices things up with an amusing sense of inspired sarcastic humor. The competent acting by the solid cast keeps this movie humming: Joe Flanigan as scruffy, disgraced Colonel Sam Synn, John Rhys-Davies as the arrogant and overbearing Senator Jackson Crenshaw, Catherine Walker as the spunky, willful Dr. Karen Fast, Dagmar Doring as the frosty Dr. Jillian O'Hara, Robert Soohan as O'Hara's twitchy assistant Brian Murphy, and Yare Michael Jegbefume as the amiable Lt. Rivers. The CGI creatures look pretty hokey and convincing, but nonetheless still possess a certain tacky charm. Moreover, the plot is admittedly silly, yet fortunately gets handled with a sincerity and a dry self-deprecating wit that's both refreshing and appealing. Both Peter Robertson's sharp cinematography and Ray Harmon's spirited marital score are up to par. A fun little flick.

BakuryuuTyranno There's not much that bears mentioning here, not even bears, because bears only dwell on savage worlds, not ferocious ones.John Rhys-Davies got killed early and frankly he was still needed, I would've preferred watching him to these random people were. Kinda annoying as he's stuck around longer in worse movies.These critters' heads had many eyes, possibly supposed to resemble arachnids, top-mounted nostrils like a brachiosaurus, except there's one nostril, the overbite and eye ridges from a tyrannosaur, and those tusk- mandibles from some critters from the "Tremors" films. Probably many other species' anatomy were mixed into them too.Also the characters kept getting killed by stupidity, actually only one or two died without stupidity. But somehow, it works.Last Summer, a year featuring many boring-looking Summer movies, another IMDb reviewer wrote, "considering the weak theatrical releases out this summer, and the ticket prices that look like they were set by a big-oil executive, watching this for free is the better option"Amusingly, this Summer, ANOTHER year featuring many boring-looking Summer movies, you know what? I too think you're way better off watching "Ferocious Planet" than wasting your money on those films.

SombeeKillah Wow. More like "Don't ..Watch... This Crap!" What a complete piece of trash. Where do I begin? What was so annoying than anything else was the so-called music score. It just ruined it for me with that crappy happy go-lucky theme to it. It was not suspenseful at all. It sounded like it barely belonged in a cartoon not a Sci-fi Thriller.I barely gave it a 2 star rating only because I recognized John Rhyes-Davies (Sallah from Raiders of the Lost Ark & Prof. Arturo from Sliders) I could believe how much weight he had lost. He didn't even last 15mins in this turkey. I'm thinking he realized what a crap he was in and demanded to be killed off as soon as possible! ha ha The only other person I recognized was Joe Flanigan(Stargate:Atlantis 's John Sheppard). He was OK I guess considering the type of movie this was and the role he was playing. And as far as I'm concerned,everyone else I couldn't wait for the half dinosaur/alien to kill them all and have this fiasco of a film be done and over with.The CGI was not that great either and this alien dimension is apparently populated by only one type of carnivorous animal?. Where are the other animals which would be required as prey?? Gimme a break! And apparently if you get hurt, you heal like magic in this dimension!? Like that annoying idiot that got hurt really bad with a whole pipe that went right thru his right chest/shoulder area and the soldier just pulls it out and 5 minutes later , he's walking and moving like nothing happen!? Like he just got a scratch! Come on! ScyFy, I want my 84mins back! Ha-ha
