Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

mrb1980 Wendell Corey spent the 1940s and 1950s as a dependable second lead and an occasional leading man in major motion pictures. By the 1960s however, alcoholism had badly affected his health while his acting career had slowed down considerably. John Agar's glory days (if you can use that term) occurred in the 1950s during which he made several science fiction movies for Universal. By the mid-1960s, he was appearing in trashy, low-budget fare like "Zontar, the Thing from Venus" and "Curse of the Swamp Creature". Both actors were at career low points when they made "Women of the Prehistoric Planet", and while the movie was destined to be pretty bad from the beginning, their lazy performances didn't help the film any.A spaceship on a rescue mission encounters a new planet, which looks a lot like the interior of a Hollywood movie studio. After a lot of hiking through the jungle and a few adventures, the crew discovers an old, wrecked spaceship, which was the objective of their mission. Afterward the crew returns to the main ship. One crew member (Irene Tsu) falls in love with one of the old spaceship's crew, and decides to stay as the mother ship departs. There's a twist ending, which you'll guess way before Wendell Corey does.Many 1960s sci-fi movies were filmed exclusively in studios, giving them an artificial, claustrophobic feel. This film is probably the most talky and stagy of them all, with not one scene shot outdoors. Corey was 52 when the film was made, but was in the final stages of alcoholism and easily looks 20 years older. Agar's performances, always pretty lazy, hit a new low here. He looks like a robot trying to act. Irene Tsu stands out as the only good cast member, but she can't carry the film by herself.After the spaceship lands, the film just meanders from scene to scene with little coherence. One preposterous scene has a crew member falling off a slippery log into a deadly pool of liquid, but it's obvious that the crew could have easily walked around the hazardous stuff! Stuart Margolin has an unintentionally funny death scene thanks to a giant spider. The script was so bad that I really felt sorry for the actors at times.This movie has apparently had longstanding copyright issues and is only available on old, out-of-print VHS tapes. If you want to see Agar and Corey in a really forgettable movie, take a look. Otherwise, don't bother.

john22900 SPOILER ALERT! First of all, the title and the video box have something in common: they respectively hype and show the pre-hysteric women of the prehistoric planet - something alas the movie does not contain at all! There is one "prehistoric" woman and she's not very prehistoric! However, she is played by Irene Tsu so who cares, right? Suzie Kaye is a crew member on COSMOS I and she is great to look at too! Hubba, hubba! In fact, between those two, they're the only reason to tune in and watch this ripoff because there are no prehistoric women, half-dressed in loin cloths like Raquel Welch, Victoria Vetri or Julie Ege.The plot concerns a spaceship (COSMOS III) that is overtaken by the "savage" Centaurians on board. The lead spaceship, COSMOS I, headed by the "sober"(?) captain, Wendell Corey, flaunts a directive to return to homebase and instead turns back to look for COSMOS III, which has presumably crashlanded on a planet in the SOLARIS system, which by the way is a dead giveaway for the plot twist at the end of the movie.COSMOS I lands safely and then sends out an expedition to look for survivors (if any) of COSMOS III (what, they couldn't land closer to the wreckage than that?) In the meantime, one of the Centaurians, Irene Tsu, leaves COSMOS I, to go for a little walk just for the hell of it. Meanwhile the rescue expedition encounters iguanas that explode into flame when hit by pellets ejected from toy ray guns! They also encounter steaming pools of acid which one very clumsy and expendable crew member manages to fall in. Meanwhile back to Irene Tsu (and none too soon either). She gets kidnapped by a guy named Tang, whose mother and father were crewmembers on the crashed spaceship 18 years before! Finally, the rescuers reach the crashed spaceship and find a few bones and skeletons - and a fake spider that does in Chief, Stuart Margolin. One almost wishes it had done in perennial funnyman, jokester and co crew member, Paul Gilbert instead (talk about your sexual harassment!). The talk goes on endlessly, if not between Wendell Corey and Keith Larsen, then between Keith Larsen and John Agar! The talk wouldn't be so bad but those scientific explanations go on endlessly and even seem to confuse and confound the scientists on board the spaceship! The end twist would have been more believable had we not seen other primitive men try to kill Irene Tsu and Tang who at the end are supposed to be Adam and Eve, the FIRST MAN AND WOMAN on this new planet which as the movie fades out, Wendell Corey decides to name EARTH! If you don't take this movie seriously, it is one big laughfest. Oh, not as many laughs as say PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, but it has its share.

DJAkin I watched this movie on a Monday night cuz nothing was on. In fact, I bought this movie. It's actually really good. It's about these astronauts who travel through space and the time shifting is off from real time. The main guys are kind of like scientists and there are a few women on this ship also. They are going to a planet that has dinosaurs and lakes made of acid. Very strange huh? Well some cavemen eventually torment the folks on this planet and there is an engineer who is really into doing stand up comedy in the middle of an expedition. He just talks and talks and at one point he does a FLIP for no reason. There is a Chinese man named TANG who is like ADAM and a woman named LINDA who is like Eve. As the astronauts leave, they look behind at the planet and name it Earth. It was a goosebump moment for sure!

metalrox_2000 Perhaps the worst movie ever shown on MST3K. Misleading titled, actors who aren't believable as humans. A Cardboard set, and outright laughable special effects. I guess one could list the plot as a goof. There was something that came out of this movie that started a trend. Something we see today. Prop Advertisements. Tang, a children's fruit drink, was the name of the only one left on the planet. subliminal advertisement! What a concept.I wonder how Tang's sales were after this movie. Wait, I guess that really isn't a positive. I guess as far as this movie is concerned, the glass is really half empty. Kinda like the people's head who starred and those who wrote it. half empty. No brains, just space for rent.
