Planetfall (2005)

Action/Sci-Fi/Western     Not Rated

Plot

A spaghetti western in science fiction clothing. Competing female bounty hunters track down the ultimate treasure on a planet wracked with turmoil. A drug named psylenol has hit the streets, stolen from a secret military program and reconditioned to be an over-the-counter psychedelic. When the general populace starts developing telekinetic powers, the corrupt government of Zita declares martial law. When the film starts, a confiscated shipment of the drug has been stolen. Now the race is on to obtain the last supply of the most powerful drug in the universe!

Acting

Good enough to the point where everyone looked to know what they were doing, and didn't look lost or like the didn't belong in a movie.

Action/Gore

Lots of fights with futuristic weapons and some hand to hand combat.

Sex/Nudity

None

Final Thoughts

"Planetfall" reminded me a lot of the "Recon 2020" series, because both where very well told low budget sci-fi stories, with acceptable effects, good characters and acting, topped of with near flawless pacing. While it's not quite as entertaining as  that series, its definately a low budget sci-fi epic well worth watching.
