Review :
Welcome to Rheton, planet of the little people
I've seen Phantom Planet a couple of times now and is quite an enjoyable low-budget sci-fi.
An astronaut lands on the planet Rheton and discovers everyone on it are much smaller than him and he shrinks to their size during his time here. He is greeted with hostility at first but they welcome him later. He then helps them to defeat their enemies, the Solorites, ugly monsters with pig-like heads. He succeeds but the one they have got captured on the planet escapes and starts going on the rampage until killed by the astronaut, who also falls in love with one of the girls. The astronaut then goes back to his own size and leaves, and is rescued by another ship.
For a low-budget movie, this is not too bad even though it is unintentionally funny at times, especially the monsters.
The cast includes Dead Fredericks, Collen Gray (The Leech Woman), Anthony Dexter and Francis X Bushman. The man in the monster suit (Solorite) is non other than Richard Kiel, Jaws in the Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
Phantom Planet is worth a look, especially for sci-fi fans. Great fun.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
