Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Leofwine_draca I thought I was in for some cheap version of the classic Vincent Price/Richard Matheson sci-fi movie, but THE LAST MAN ON PLANET EARTH (the title is a misnomer) is something else entirely. It is cheap, yes, but the storyline is about a world in which mankind has been banned and women have taken over. Imagine PLANET OF THE APES except with women instead of apes and you have the idea.As I say, the title turns out to be a misnomer, as men have only been banned from polite society rather than exterminated and there are still plenty around. The hero is a guy grown in a test tube by the government who escapes and finds himself pursued by the FBI who want him for their own ends. Unsurprisingly he falls in love with a young woman while trying to elude capture.The storyline is frankly preposterous and the TV movie atmosphere makes this something of a laughable film. The science fiction elements of the storyline are almost unnoticeable; there are no depictions of a different kind of society, this just takes place in our world in order to keep costs down. Needless to say that the acting is poor and the whole thing feels very dated and cheesy; a forgettable, ill-conceived production.

waylandseal2003 This movie is awful beyond belief. It's a low-budget, badly written, piece of pointless garbage. But the Saturday afternoon I stumbled across it on TV still sticks in my mind as one of the most entertaining I've ever spent in front of the television. The badness of this movie is epic -- maybe not Ed Wood epic, but close. The premise is hysterical (men are banned for being too dangerous and imprisoned in -- haw! -- football stadiums), the pseudo-dyke culture is laughably bizarre (there's an underground sex trade with women who dress up like men to service "deviants") and the "last man" of the title is a pitiful reincarnation of Rocky from Rocky Horror Picture Show. I didn't get to see the end of it, which I have to assume was so dripping with syrupy "what have we all learned from this?" nonsense it would bring on an urge to brush the teeth, but everything in the first two-thirds was so memorably bad, even if the last third turned out to be a pale imitation of the rest, it's still worthwhile for anyone who gets a kick out of campy, stupid, brainless sci-fi B-flicks.

electrictroy The following contains general spoilers (example: Star Wars is about spaceships), but no specific plot details..One flaw: Some awkward acting... probably the result of a small budget & not having enough money to do retakes. Otherwise, I thought it was a decent sci-fi story. Certainly better than 99% of Sci-Fi Channel's "original movies".The premise is that there was a war, and (presumably) American scientists developed a virus to kill men. The virus was intended to be used to kill the (presumably) Arabic soldiers who were 99.9% men. And it worked brilliantly.Unfortunately the virus, as viruses tend to do, mutated from a safe non-contagious form into an airborne form. And thus the virus spread via the air to Europe, then America, and then the whole world & wiped out 97% of the male population.What was left was a world run by women. And thus the movie begins.During the next two hours we get to see a female-run society that is supposedly "better" than the previous male-dominated society, but in reality has many of the same flaws like prostitution, corruption, and a tendency to kill. Overall a good movie that makes the viewer think about the possibilities.

domonkassu Warning: This could spoil your movie. Watch it, see if you agree. To think that we as humans can not learn from the past. The futuristic society portrayed glamorized what Hitler believed, obliterate a race of people (in this case men) for the benefit of society. It made me sick to my stomach. Also the plausibility of a Y bomb is insane. Even in war our instinct for self-preservation will prevent the extinction of humanity. We made mistakes in the past ie: Japan, Hiroshima and Nagasaki in '45 but because of that we avoided a bigger mistake in '63 during the Cuban Missile Crisis
