New review: The Strange World Of Planet X
Tonight we x-tracate this oddity and x-amine it under our x-tra special x-ray machine (I’ll stop doing this now, it’s even annoying me as I type it).
But isn’t it the case that these days, we’re all living on Planet X, and isn’t it strange? Sadly, this particular observation doesn’t REALLY work, as let’s face it, the former Twitter isn’t what it was. As of writing, we could have had a lot more fun with this line of observational comedy if the film in question had been “The Strange World Of Planet TikTok”, or even “The Strange World Of Planet The Masked Singer”, but I digress, again.
So, anyway. The Strange World Of Planet X, eh? First up, why’s it called that? We don’t ever actually see the Planet in question, this film is resolutely earth-bound. Second, love Planet X’s ambassador, “Mr Smith”, who’s the most relaxed dude in the history of aliens. Yeah, he says, call me what you like, Earth Men, I couldn’t care less. And while you’re at it, re-name my planet. And make fun of my facial hair. Just stand back a bit, while I vaporise this bad guy. Right, I’m off. Look out for giant insects!
Yes, The Strange World Of Planet X is rubbish, but let me tell you more about it in my review. And when you watch it, keep an eye out for the face-eating scene I mention… truly disgusting.
