      Edit
      • Trivia
        The third film in the Gamma One quadrilogy was titled Il pianeta errante (The Errant Planet) in its original Italian. The english dubbed release in America was retitled War Between the Planets (WBP). Director Magheriti's economizing continued. Sets, costumes and props were reused from the first two movies, but the cast was different.
      • Goofs
        When they shut off the gravity in Gamma One, numerous things start to 'float' but Lt. Sanchez's long hair continues to hang down.

      War Between The Planets

      Something in space is causing disaster on earth.

      An unexpected thrill to find this is 2022. The last time I saw a 60s Italian science fiction film was back in the 70s on a box shaped TV screen. Now it was in widescreen with lots of red and orange (my favourite colours) all over the place - mainly in the climax.

      I am fully aware this movie pinched things from other Italian films but because this screening came before the other movies - I had a ball with this flick!

      The dialogue is far from perfect but because War Between The Planets is such a visual delight (the sets, props, hardware, the red) I can forgive the wooden conversations.

      Well worth watching but only with a quality widescreen print.
