And a corporate mogul guy invents teleportation technology that allows him to terraform a remote planet with some kind of mega-oxygen-producing plant. In indie B-movie Savage Planet, though, you can ignore the cool teleportation and terraforming and all that stuff. Because it's really about giant, savage bears.

A team of researchers and the corporate mogul pull a Stargate and pop through the teleporter to investigate "Planet Oxygen" and figure out whether the planet can be used as a new Earth for pollution refugees. What they find are . . . giant bears, with super-intelligence, who see in pink-o-vision. And they are hungry for human flesh! If you like classic B-movies, Savage Planet is going to disarm you. I love that there is this insane, sciencey setup just to put a "people running from bears" plot into motion. [Savage Planet via IMDB]
