Fantastic Planet

from my 1970s Science Fiction Marathon, part 7 of 12


La planète sauvage, 1973. Humans are an invasive species on a planet of giants. Directed by René Laloux. Written by Roland Topor & Laloux, based on a novel by Stefan Wul. Starring Jennifer Drake, Eric Baugin & Jean Valmont.

Concept: 4/4 (Great)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good). Some excellent design, but I expected a lot more.
Acting: 1/4 (Bad). Acting from the voices is fine. Acting from the animators is nonexistent.
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). For the most part it's interesting but not engaging. The ending is awful enough to cancel out the rest of the movie's value.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.0/4 (Indifferent)
