Ok, folks, you're all gonna bash me for this but....I think this movie is 1000x better than Avatar. Hell, I prefer Ed Wood and George Lucas to James Cameron any day. Because there's something that seperates Cameron from Wood and Lucas. At least Lucas and Wood are (or in Wood's case, was) modest. Cameron's one of the biggest and most pretentious douchebags I've ever seen. Everything he makes he claims "This is gonna revolutionize filmmaking!" And how was Avatar? Hm, shitty story. Lame characters. Boring.
So, what makes Plan 9 any better than Avatar? Well, at least Plan 9 knows what it is. Avatar was a mediocre and pretentious mess of a film that wasn't even entertaining. The story was the crap and the acting was bad. It tried to be one of the greatest movies ever made and it failed. At least Plan 9 knows its not perfect. At least Wood had passion and wasn't in it for the money like Cameron was. Wood knew he wasn't the best filmmaker, but at least he tried. Plan 9 is good because of its massive entertainment value. Sure, its poorly made and the acting is shit, but hey at least Wood didn't try to make the best movie ever.
The plot is simple, Aliens from a distant planet come down to earth to resurect the dead. They're plan is to kill the living. And thats about it.
Ok, now I'm just gonna lay everything out simply:
Acting-shit
Story-Ugh
Visuals-Oh lord....
Awesomeness-ITS OVER 9000000000000000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Overall, don't take Plan 9 too seriously. Sure, some may argue Cameron did revolutionize filmmaking with the visual effects of Avatar. Well Ed Wood revolutionized filmmaking by making one of the most hilarious and entertaining movies of all time! And that counts for two. Avatar's only got one with the effects. So the score is two to one. Your move, James.

Plan 9 from Outer Space Review comment
Awesome review, bro! Love this movie, it's far better than Avatar was. And James Cameron is slowly becoming Micheal Bay, I swear to God, lol.
