Claudio Carvalho In the Federal Science Institute, Dr. Jillian O'Hara (Dagmar Döring) and her assistant Brian Murphy (Robert Soohan) will demonstrate their research to a commission led by the arrogant Senator Jackson Crenshaw (John Rhys-Davies) and Dr. Karen Fast (Catherine Walker) from the president office expecting to keep the budget of her laboratory. Colonel Sam Synn (Joe Flanigan) is responsible for the security with Lieutenant Rivers (Yare Michael Jegbefume) and Pvt. Jordan Reid (Chris Newman). Dr. O'Hara explains that her machine is the fruit of a long research initiated by her father and can show parallel dimensions. During the demonstration, there is a problem in the device and the room is transported to another dimension with everybody that is observing the experiment. Soon the survivors discover that the room is placed in the wilderness of a dangerous dimension inhabited with wild beasts. "Ferocious Planet" is an awful TV movie released in my country on DVD. The story of a group of people accidentally transported to another dimension is not original and John Rhys-Davies worked in "Sliders", just as an example. However, in "Ferocious Planet", the characters are unpleasant or stupid and the lines and situations are ridiculous. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Planeta Feroz" ("Ferocious Planet")

BakuryuuTyranno There's not much that bears mentioning here, not even bears, because bears only dwell on savage worlds, not ferocious ones.John Rhys-Davies got killed early and frankly he was still needed, I would've preferred watching him to these random people were. Kinda annoying as he's stuck around longer in worse movies.These critters' heads had many eyes, possibly supposed to resemble arachnids, top-mounted nostrils like a brachiosaurus, except there's one nostril, the overbite and eye ridges from a tyrannosaur, and those tusk- mandibles from some critters from the "Tremors" films. Probably many other species' anatomy were mixed into them too.Also the characters kept getting killed by stupidity, actually only one or two died without stupidity. But somehow, it works.Last Summer, a year featuring many boring-looking Summer movies, another IMDb reviewer wrote, "considering the weak theatrical releases out this summer, and the ticket prices that look like they were set by a big-oil executive, watching this for free is the better option"Amusingly, this Summer, ANOTHER year featuring many boring-looking Summer movies, you know what? I too think you're way better off watching "Ferocious Planet" than wasting your money on those films.

ken_bethell I feel almost too embarrassed to admit that I even watched this film. I suppose it's being a sucker for sci-fi that lead me into wasting 95 minutes of my life. Seeing John Rhys-Davies name in credits also lead me astray.I can only assume this actor agreed to appear before reading the script. His early demise must have come as welcome relief from such torment.I think the actors also realised quite early on in the proceedings that they were performing in a true turkey and started to ham it a little because it got humorous and I feel certain that was not the director's intention. What more can I say.The story? A device about as big as a medium sized suitcase,that does not require electricity because it runs on power generated by cold fusion is being tested in front of a number of dignitaries.It is claimed that when in operation the device can look in on parallel universes. What happens next is ..... but why should I spoil your enjoyment.

ben_shah_ofrim This is a probably one of the worst films I've ever watched. For a long time I thought it was meant to be a parody (and I still believe in the option), but if so, also limping. Is this a low, low, low budget film...? Pace, plot, dramaturgy, allegedly special effects (the animated monsters are hilariously bad), acting, music, not to speak of content or idea — all of it is terrible. It is not even entertaining, despite its abundance of indeliberate humor. It only reminds me how much time there is generally spent in vain in the movie business, producing nothingness. The acting resembles an unsuccessful early cartoon, where anything like timing is nearly absent. As usual in American films, there are the compulsory ingredients of yelling-women-for-no-reason without having their coiffure disturbed, but here the illusion of resolve or courage or readiness to act or something along those protocols does not function — or become manifest. Conclusion: «Ferocious Planet» is a dreadful production. A disgrace for the screen — simply something for the dustbin. It is almost impossible to imagine that someone expects an audience to take something like this seriously in 2011. Or hold on: It might serve as an item for the film academies, splendidly exemplifying what to avoid. Hence, for the sake of pedagogy, not a complete waste after all.
