Movie Review: Grindhouse: Planet Terror

Preview

Another movie which is about the infected ones or the sickos as called in the movie. Bruce Willis is a surprise cast in this movie but he only plays a small part where he just appears at the beginning and towards the end of the movie. He is the head of a group of soldiers who were infected while fighting for their country. However, they get controlled by inhaling some kind of gas.

The screen then shifted to a couple who are doctors where they wake up at night and prepare to go to the hospital. The husband, Dr William attends to a patient named Joe who has an infected wound. The virus spreads quickly and Dr William arranges an operation to sever Joe's arm. His wife, Dr Dakota helps to make Joe passes out.

The hospital then gets busier as more and more patients arrive with wounds.

Cherry, a dancer arrives at JT restaurant and met Wray who comes to the restaurant later. They left together. While on their way, Wray loses control of his truck, trying to avoid something on the road. Cherry is dragged by the sickos but is rescued by Wray. When they arrive at the hospital, the sheriff arrests Wray.

More and more sickos in the town and soon, the police station and the hospital are swarmed by the infected. Only a small group of survivors manage to get together and gather at JT restaurant. They fight their way to a helicopter base but Wray is killed when trying to rescue Cherry.

In the end, they fly to a place near the sea and start their own kingdom.

Picture

The quality is okay. It's not something that you would expect when watching a movie which is made in the 2007. Well, I have read a comment saying that Grindhouse is all about excess. Yes. It's gross, violent and a little bit of nudity. Just a little bit. There are bodies being ripped apart, head blown off and sickos get crushed by cars.

Storyline

While it's trying to make movie-goers laugh, I did not laugh at all. Well, it's not funny. I would like to compare it to Scary Movie here. Scary Movie makes me laugh so much and the pictures are much better than Grindhouse. Oh yeah, there's only one bit which makes me laugh a bit which is the part when they try to get to the helicopter and the scientist is killed while reminding them to be caution.

Theme Songs

I can't remember that I have heard any songs or music. Let me rephrase it. I mean I can't remember that I have heard any good songs or music throughout the movie.

Verdict

1/5 Stars – Among the movies about infection out there, this one is the worse. Okay, maybe it's for laughter but it doesn't make me laugh either. Also, the sickos are like flying-fast during the first part of the movie but they become zombies later in the movie.
