Viewing Notes

Also known as BATTLE FOR THE LOST PLANET and GALAXY DESTROYER among many other titles. Not a great movie (even the director thinks it sucks) in the traditional sense but can’t help but love the great stop motion animation using clay creatures and old school special effects using matte/glass paintings, etc.

Unreasonably excited to watch the sequel now, which is included on the same disc.
