War Between the Planets (1966)


This is Italian Sci-Fi; but no matter where WAR BETWEEN the PLANETS comes from…this low-budget feature is bad enough to be laughable. Some movies are bad enough to be good; this one leaves a lot to be desired. Scientists discover an unknown planet that seems to be on route to collide with Earth. It of course will take collective efforts to save mankind. The hackneyed story line is way too familiar. The toy rockets, toy space station and the visible wires holding things in place have you asking yourself “Shouldn’t mid 60s special effects be a tad better than this?” The actors are not much better than the props around them. If you like your Sci-Fi cheesy, you’ll enjoy. I don’t think it fair to blame any disappointment on director Antonio Margheriti. The cast lists: Jack Stuart, Enzo Fiermonte, Alina Zalewska and Amber Collins.
