The Angry Red Planet Trailer (extra on The Angry Red Planet DVD (MGM, 2001)). [Category: Commercial]

Fairly campy trailer for The Angry Red Planet that features a gimmick––Cinemagic––which is essentially just a red filter in the camera, though the trailer tries to make it out to be much more. The supposedly great special effects that they tout look incredibly cheesy and cheap. Which makes this a fun trailer to watch––it’s this kind of hyperbole that makes a trailer.

Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ****. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
