War of the Planets (1977) Full Sci-fi Movie 

You know you in trouble when they send you to the Vega system!

Effects budget must have run into more than 50 bucks!

You got to admit those little helmet caps they were just darling!!! Who's with me? Ol' Binyon has never used the word 'darling' for anything until now! Who's with me on that one?!

Guido and Luigi in Space, with a cast of several.

There's nothing better than watching a spaghetti sci-fi classic is an Italian sci-fi

Sort of like ‘’Lost in Space’’ without the camp idiocy. An improvement, though not by much. Still fun to watch.

Long live Flash Gordon, you are the Real Thing 😂

Thank you, Broken Trout!! Never guessed there would be a futuristic sex machine lol!

An Italian ... classic.

1977..same year as Star Wars

Space: 1998

Wikipedia says this film earned 123,200,000 IT Lira in 1977. One USD = 883 Lira in 1977 (US government document). So this film grossed USD $139,524.35 (??). Was this worth it?

"its not the AI's fault." "it's not the hardware manufacturer's fault" "it's not the coder's fault" it's yours. this is what happens when you don't OBEY.

This is already quite a lively, colorful opera of space romanticism, influenced, apart from by 2001: A Space Odyssey, perhaps also by Edmund Cooper's novel Seed of Light and itself probably having influenced Nolan's Interstellar. Comparing this creation to the cinematic science-fiction concoctions of the 1950s and '60s, one begins to grasp how hard it must have been in those times, before the advent of noteworthy computer-generated imagery, to fill one and a half hours with space adventures in a manner allowing to entertain people older than five years. Compared with those earlier attempts, this here is already rather little boring, while it also still does not really fascinate. For a film of such a style and genre to become really fascinating, one apparently simply needs the ability to show anything on a movie screen which one can think of: detailed movements through spaceships hundreds of meters across, sharp shots of landscapes on planets of alien stars, outposts on the Moon and on other celestial bodies that have circumferences of several miles. It can sound noble to say that a recipient should focus on the idea, on the dramaturgical and psychological development, on the overall composition and alternation of the imagery (colors, geometry, contrasts, variation, etc.). These aspects have here been cared for already quite well, indeed, but you're still in a work which only anticipates a utopian cinematic art still awaiting us because it will also crucially have to be based on presentations of sharp shots of things which do not yet exist in our world. One can imagine such imagery in one's head when one reads the science fiction of those years (especially of the 1950s and '60s) in book form. Those responsible for War of the Planets will have experienced how fascinating such a consumption could be, attempting to translate it into the language of a movie.

This is terrible!

1:17:00 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋 Where's the stock footage of eruptions from? 😂 Maybe Mount Etna? (Wikipedia) = "Other major 20th-century eruptions occurred in 1949, 1971, 1979, 1981, 1983 and 1991-1993. In 1971, lava buried the Etna Observatory (built in the late 19th century), destroyed the first generation of the Etna cable-car, and seriously threatened several small villages on Etna's east flank."

Ok, tell me I don't see nippleage @14:33.

Didn't we get star wars in the 70s? This looks like its from the 1950s.

28:30 ++ 😂 I'm intrigued between "absolute probability" and "relative probability"? Does that factor out into "probability of relative absolute" Or "probability of absolute relativity"? (Probably) 🎉😅😅🎉

What complete pish.
