    Planet of the......Ants. It really does feel like the kind of film Charlton Heston would have made/rejected back in the late 60's, it even has a 'I'm Spartacus' moment! Alas, it?s a low budget B-Movie, saved from being a half a star film purely because it has Bruce Campbell in it...( read more). Basically, It?s not very good but is watchable! Those fake beards though.....

    "Those bounty hunters are all fags. I can handle 'em." It's all about the money shot during the ending credits!

    Uh...I'm not really one for the sci-fi originals. Bruce Campbell gives is an extra half star.

    Seeing Bruce Campbell gave me hope. That hope was dashed.

    Of course it's not really all that good, but it's Bruce Campbell. The greatest B-actor of all time!

    This is one of the films that you like... but dont know why you like it lol. Its corny and looks like it had an even lower budget then made for TV make it sound like it did. But you throw in the king of B movies, Bruce Campbell, and all of the sudden its an enjoyable movie to w...( read more)atch. It has sort of a Monty Python and the Holy Grail feel too it, with Bruce meeting a bunch of odd characters on his way to find the President, plus the really simplistic silly looking effects. Would recommend just so people can see how good Campbell is.

    Bruce Campbell stars in this made-for-TV film as part of team of astronauts who return to earth after several years to find it is now dominated by aliens. Half of the astronaut team are soon dispatched by the aliens. Bruce wants to rebel against the captors, but the humans are de...( read more)moralized and believe they cannot fight against the alien oppressors. Soon he sees an opportunity to escape and once on the run forms a team despite the difficulties he runs in with the pacifists, the apathetic and/or those who believe they cannot do anything to enact change. They locate the hideout of those who led Washington when the country still worked only to find them to be ineffectual as well. A pretty damn good movie despite the limited budget ? there is a great message to be found.
