Planet Terror review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/01/11
Cherry Darling (Rose McGowan) quits her job and hitches a ride with 'El Wray' (Freddy Rodriguez). Lt. Muldoon (Bruce Willis) makes a deal with a businessman/scientist named Abby (Naveen Andrews). Dr. William Block (Josh Brolin) treats the infected victims while discovering his wife Dakota (Marley Shelton) was cheating on him. Mundoon’s team captures the survivors and divulges a secret. El Wray never makes it but has been a part of Cherry. This is a fun, ridiculous (how can one fire a gun with a broken leg) but technically brilliant (450 effects, bloody lens, blending, editing, cg, puppetry, etc.) with an interesting plot. The effect used on the film was fascinating, disclosed on the bonus special features on the 2nd disc. Planet Terror is an entertaining horror with a few laughable scenes with some well known cameos and has survival, sacrifice, believing in others and innovation as themes with a cool twist from 2 characters.
