      Audience Member It is never made clear what exactly the relationship between the humans and the Centarians is. Ok, I know the movie isnâ(TM)t called "Women of the Prehistoric Planet: A Contemporary Introspective Study of Human â" Centarian Relationships", but hey, how about giving us just a clue. Some humans hate them, most distrust them, and all of them seem to treat them as second-class citizens. Why? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A cheap exploitational sci-fi about a space crew crashing on a primitive planet filled with women and one of the crew members (who isn't human) fell in love with another non-human on the planet. I spent more time sleeping than watching it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review anthony w This movie is horrible. The fact that it is too heavily plotted and the characters are bland is bad enough but then to tie it to being some king of SF origin story in the end just was nauseating. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The MST3K version of this stinker. I liked this one as they had a short interview with one of the actors reminiscing about her time on the set and how crappy it was. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring 60s sci-fi/jungle flick that really doesn't have many women on the prehistoric planet. In fact, there appears to be one. And she didn't originate from there. Also, John Agar still sucks in this one. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A low budget sci-fi film that has nothing to do with "savage planet women attacking female space invaders" like the poster says. Instead, this is a rather plodding tale of two spaceships. Some "Centauri" crewmembers on one ship mutiny, causing it to crash on an uncharted planet and the second ship goes on a rescue mission, arriving some twenty years later because of "time dilation." The real subject matter of the film is race relations, with the "Centaurians" all being played by Asian actors and the "Humans" all played by whites and the message is that different races can and should get along. This is a noble sentiment of course, but the movie around it is both incredibly clunky, unintentionally condescending and has an incredibly lazy twist at the end. It is a bad movie, but good for lovers of the genre. After all, this is the film that gave the world "Hi-keeba!" Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
