"Battle Planet" is a cheap science fiction film, and good God we need more of them. I am so tired of vampire, zombie, slasher films. I would like more films like this even if they aren't four stars. "Battle Planet" is certainly not four stars but it tries and that's important. It reminds me of the good things about the old Roger Corman machine.
Our hero is sealed into a bickering exo suit and sent to an alien planet on a pressing mission. There he meets a female alien who oddly enough doesn't look like someone air brushed for Captain Kirk's playboy. Together they fight native aliens, a dwarf (Definitely that was a nod to roger corman/band), and high tech troops. The special effects are not "Avatar" but in a wonderful way. Very little CG is used and the make up of the aliens reminds me a lot of good old star trek tv.
Certainly if you like sf you might want a look.
