2012: A Movie Odyssey - Planet Terror

Planet Terror. Although it's worlds apart from "Super 8", I couldn't help but be reminded of it whilst watching this. The kids in JJ Abrams' nostalgia piece had been putting together their own zombie horror and Planet Terror feels like it exists in the same universe (as if this was the movie they went to make when they grew up). It wasn't, however, the only film I thought of as the action unfolded. Its style - balancing humour and dated horror - is reminiscent of the shortlived cult series "Garth Merenghi's Dark Place", whilst throwing in plenty of gross-out gore ala James Gunn's movie "Slither" .

I felt Planet Terror could have been shorter in running time, as it did start to drag towards the end, but for the most part it was a fun watch. Gross and definitely an acquired taste, but fun.
