Diagonaldi Very well executed

Wordiezett So much average

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

JLRVancouver Ed Wood Jr.'s legendary monument to inept film-making, "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is likely the best known of the classic cult 'bad movies'. The story makes little sense, the cast bizarre, the acting amateurish, the script incoherent, and production values negligible, but like all cult movies, no matter how bad, there is something engaging about the film that makes it watchable (and rewatchable) despite its flaws (with are plentiful). The story behind the production is as entertaining as the film itself and much has been written about movie and on its singular auteur, who was portrayed by Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's excellent bio-pic "Ed Wood" (1994). Rating a film like this is always a challenge as there is a huge discrepancy between what it is (crap) and what it offers (fun), so I will condemn it yet recommend it.

charleseodell This film features the worst actor (Dudley Manlove) in cinematic history. It has the worst director (Ed Wood). The flying saucers were bought at the toy store. The script stinks. Even the stock footage is mediocre.The result is a flick that is entertaining from start to finish, and never dull. Its sheer badness is its strength. When Dudley Manlove lectures the earthmen and yells "Youre stupid minds! Stuipid! STUPID!!!" I always marvel at how STUPID he is to be shouting it at an enraged six foot four hunk of muscle named Tom Keene. His alien technology appears to never have calculated the physics of a broken jaw.It has been said that Ed Wood's films do not have special effects. Rather, they have symbols to show where special effects would be if Ed could afford them. This was never clearer than the final scene, where the burning flying saucer flys away and explodes. The saucer was not one of the toys. Rather, it was two paper plates glued together, sprayed with lighter fluid, and set on fire. Why would Ed have burned a valuable toy when he could have kept it and given it away for Christmas?Criswell's pretentious narration was the best part of the film. This phony psychic was always a hit on the Jonny Carson show, because he was so preposterous.Vampira was hot! She could suck my blood any day of the week.400 pound Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson, whom Vampira called "a great big hunnybun", never looked better than when he rose from the grave.This movie is maximum camp. If you have never seen it your life is not complete.

hellraiser7 Oh boy, this film is one of those odd ducks in the pond, it's another of those guilty pleasures of mine. This film is sort of an honorable mention in my list of favorite parody films, though the funniest thing about the film is that it wasn't intentionally a parody, what's even funnier is that's what makes the film even funnier.This film has more blunders than the after take segment at the end of every Jackie Chan film; only those blunders were corrected the ones here weren't. Yeah this film has bad to almost non existent effects, but then again even a few episodes of shows like "Doctor Who" and even "Star Trek" had a few of their misses in that department but despite that it didn't stop those shows from being entertaining all the same. And even the writing isn't very good, proof reading/editing obviously wasn't one of Ed's strong suits.But all the same the end result it turned out to actually be really entertaining and that is really all I ask for and want whenever I watch a movie, to be entertained and have the time of my life which it does. The plot line I actually thought was good despite poor execution, but I thought Aliens reanimating the dead to create a zombie army is actually a cool and different idea because it's shows not just that you can still do more with the alien invasion subgenere but it was also a blending of two different genres horror and sci-fi; which made sense because both were a thing in the 50s.There really isn't much I can say for characters they all serve their function's (or function as best they can). Most of the acting is pretty well bad, most of the cast obviously weren't trained actors or haven't really taken any acting courses but you sense their hearts are in the right place and they really tried; and in a strange way it just contributes to the humor.But of coruse we're all in it for all the visual and verbal humor and this film is just a grocery list of it, so you'll hardly run out of laughs. There are just so many great funny moments, I'll just say a few of them.In a couple of scenes the timing is sometimes really off, like there was a couple talking outside at a back yard and then suddenly you see a spotlight just pass across and they would both get down but they did it seconds late about after the spotlight has long passed him.But the funniest scene of this was when we see the undead inspector creep up on the police man very slowly and then the police man turns around and delivers such a terrible acting reaction and then the undead inspector kills him (I think) by just slapping him down. I couldn't help but snicker on the fact the policeman had every opportunity to get away, let alone one or two long minutes.And of course the first scenes with a funeral that took place in a cemetery that is clearly see is fake; those grave markers you can see are wooden and too small almost looks like a Gnome Cemetery, and we see a Crypt and everyone getting out of it. I just crack up every time I see it because it's sort of like the equivalent of seeing clowns getting out of the clown car.The dialog is just fraking hilarious because it is just so deliciously bad, as I said before editing wasn't one of Ed's strong suits. There are just so many memorable lines, one that is my favorite is the alien commander saying, "You stupid minds, stupid, stupid!" I always thought that was funny because that sounded like something some second or third grader would say. Overall, if your a fan of old vintage sci-fi or even the parody subgenere then this film like any of the paper plate saucers in this film is worth a spin. It may have been a flawed plan but it was a plan that succeeded in fun.Rating: 3 stars

Uriah43 This movie begins with a popular—but quite untalented—Hollywood celebrity by the name of Jeron Criswell King giving an introduction to this film. From there the story begins with an old man attending the burial of his wife. After the funeral the gentleman goes home to mourn his loss while the gravediggers finish their task of burying the casket. Unfortunately for them, aliens from outer space bring the corpse back to life and the zombie then proceeds to kill the two gravediggers. Around the same time a flying saucer buzzes a passenger airliner flying en route to Los Angeles and almost causes the pilots to lose control of their aircraft. Upon landing both of the pilots and one of the stewardesses report what they have seen but are told by the army to keep everything secret. Unfortunately, not only are other flying saucers seen in various cities in the United States but something very strange begins to happen in the same cemetery where the two gravediggers met their fate. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this is definitely one of the worst movies I have ever seen. While I can overlook the fact that the special effects were extremely basic (given that the movie was produced in 1959) I cannot overlook the extremely bad acting so easily. Additionally, I should also mention that the costumes worn by the aliens were extremely basic and cheap-looking as well. At any rate, having said all of this I can only say that this film was a total waste of time and I would recommend viewers look elsewhere for their movie entertainment as this film is just plain awful.
