This was a very bizarre and poorly-made film, which I can't believe was made after manned space travel, as well as masterpieces such as '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'Star Wars' really served to up the ante when it comes to these types of film. The dialogue and special effects are terrible, but for the most part it was a fun watch, and I gave bonus marks because of the intriguing 'cosmic love' idea. However, even no-budget filmmakers need to realize that even if they can't afford much in various areas, decent ideas are still free. Just ask people like Edgar G. Ulmer and George Lucas (at least in the early, 'THX 1138', stage of his career).

Either you are into these type of movies or you aren't; it's as simple as that. If you are a sci-fi buff and can appreciate the feel of the older B-movies, this one will most likely resonate with you (it did me). The acting is cheesy, and the story arc a bit shaky, but Cosmos: War of the Planets doesn't fail to entertain. The story is tight enough to keep you enthralled, and the action keeps up at a decent pace. A renegade captain (Kirk-like character) is selected to save Earth from a hostile alien menace. That's basically all you need to have a successful movie in this genre. Several unique ideas were thrown in that were copied by others later (like the simulated sex computer- stolen years later in Demolition Man). It's a classic line when the woman asks the man: "Would you like it slow or rough?". His care-free response: "You decide." Love it! The tone of the movie is what really stands out. The sets look good enough and the ending scene delivers some good gore/action. Yes, the costumes are cheesy (what was up with those hats?!), but the women look damn fine in their tight-fitting getups. :-) The movie gives you the feel of the 50s sci-fi films with just enough updates as to not be boring. Definitely better than the low rating it has on IMDb. I think that comes from people who are expecting Cloverfield or Independence Day and just don't get low budget movies. Overall, a tasty slice of Italian sci-fi cheese. 7 out of 10. Seek out a used VHS for a couple clams. Also check out Starcrash and Battle Beyond the Stars.

Truly bad news. The properties, sets, acting, and effects are all consistently sub-standard. This could be the top of the bottom I suppose all those employed in the movie industry have to work, but, I can't imagine anyone involved in the making of this picture will be proudly telling the grandkids about making this clinker. I LOVE science fiction even the campy stuff. I can excuse the stuff that uses contemporary props in futuristic settings 64 years in the future in 2924,ala "Beyond The Time Barrier" from 1960 I remember seeing it when I was 10, great futuristic sets and then M-2 carbines??!! Really? I can honestly say, don't waste your time.

This could actually be the Plan 9 Ed Wood predicted so long ago. If this indeed was Plan 9, well chances are Earth had been prepared for it and there have been no casualties. Bless the gods.Whenever I tell my friends about this movie, as well as the other B movies my mother has an obsession with collecting, they never truly believe me when I say that this movie is a very terrible re-imagining of Star Wars. I cannot even dignify a decent review as the previous two reviews already explained what it's about and pretty much state the obvious, so my review here is moot.There's an actor here me and my own mother mistook for Robin Williams, and by all the love in heaven, if Rob was in this movie... not only would the movie be an improvement - it'd probably be a restounding success.Well, in closing, this wasa crummya meataball. 'Nuff said.
