ScR3aM This movie was a joke. Everything about it was a joke. From the awful acting to the stupid annoying characters, this was a joke. Let me give you a brief summary of this movie. Charlie gets sent in a pod, up to a space ship full of morons with the last few Krite eggs. Anyways, that's pretty much all you need to know. Why don't we start off with the space ship crew. Let me introduce you to Rick, a creepy weirdo who later walks in on Fran in the shower. Bernie, a really annoying guy. Albert, a drug addict. (or was that Bernie) And then of course, whiny little Ethan. The only person i liked was Fran. The acting sucked in the third movie, but this was much worse. Nobody here did a good job, and i mean nobody. Anyways, it's really sad to see how Ughs character has changed, now he's just a jerk who tries to kill the whole crew. He makes me want to say Ugh. (ha ha) Welp, hope you enjoyed my rant on critters 4, hope i changed your mind on watching it.

bowmanblue Yes, those nasty killer rolling fur-balls did technically come from space, so seeing them back there isn't that much of a stretch. However, it does just seem like a bit of a gimmick by the film-makers to try and keep a – slightly – tired horror film franchise going.Critters 4 was made back to back with Critters 3 (a fact that you'll probably have guessed if you watched the 'in-credits' scene that preceded Marvel's in-credits scenes by nearly twenty years), therefore it does follow on perfectly. The last of the Crites' eggs are sent up into space, but naturally they hatch and cause mayhem. Basically, if you've seen one 'monster-on-a-spaceship' film made after 'Alien' then it's basically like this. Or, another way to describe it would be a 'slasher/monster film in space.' You have a load of disposable characters who are there to be killed off by the escaped Crites, a few that you're supposed to care about (but probably don't!) and Charlie – the only major character who's been in all four movies (and this time he's been given top billing!). He's just about the only person you'll care about, as he's from 'our' time and is even more of a fish out of water in space than he is on Earth. However, one good actor can't really help how mundane the overall package is. It just feels rather cheap overall. The sets all look – well – like a set! And I read online that some of the external shots of space and spaceships have been reused from a previous sci-fi movie.As I've said, if you've seen any monster-in-space film made after 'Alien' then you'll probably have seen this, or better, as it will give you all you need to know about the genre. The kills aren't much to write home about and long time fans of the franchise may disapprove of the way they've changed one of the other long-running characters (or was that just me?). If you love the Critters franchise that much, you may like this. I own it because I have the four disc DVD box set, so I kind of watch it out of duty when I've already seen the first two (same could be said for the third, but this one doesn't even have Leo as a kid to laugh at).

paul-heys-im So, I took forever to get around to watching Critters 4. Big fan of the first two, and despite knowing beforehand this one was only marginally better than the abysmal 3rd entry, I am still disappointed. At the outset, it all looks so promising, the Crites are back in their natural habitat, space, doing what they do best, chowing down on hapless humans. Well, at least that's what the DVD cover would have you believe. But in reality, Critters 4 should have been subtitled, "No Crites on set", as you hardly ever see the Crites and even when you do, their kills and banter is very unoriginal and just not very fun to watch. Critters 4 takes a darker route than it's comedy horror predecessors, but the humour is half the fun of Critters films, in 4, the humour is nullified to non existent levels apart from a few "Insane computer" jokes that fell flat. Once the fun is removed, and the Crite action, you are left with a plodding, dull as dishwater, 1 and half hour movie that has very little to redeem it. Whilst I really dislike the 3rd film, at least that one didn't go out of it's way to ruin already established fan fave characters, such as Ug. Yes, Critters 4 is a turgid movie, even for fans of the series, but worse, it commit's the ultimate sin, it destroys the awesome character Ug, who has been built up over the series into one of my all time fave sci fi characters. In this film, you find out that Ug is no longer a bounty hunter, nor is he generally a nice guy now, now he's a murderous bureaucrat who wants to preserve the Crites for use as bioweapons, instead of kill them. The sudden and unexplained changes in Ug's character leave a bad taste in your mouth. Also, the underwhelming use of the best character in the series, Charlie, leaves a lot to be desired. Once again Don Opper is brilliant as Charlie, but, he has nothing to work with. The characterisation and dialogue is very uneven. Even as a Critters fan, I can't recommend this film to anyone. I hope this is the last. No reboots, no further watered down, below par sequels, unless the Chiodo brothers get back involved. Critters, it's been a fun 30 years, but all good things must end.

khono The plot's whatever. The sets are hilarious! They're worse than Babylon 5! I see industrial skids, just saw a garden hose wind-up thingy. The drawers and shelves look like they were bought at Walmart. That scene in the garbage chute XD.Think of this movie as a parody of much prettier (but equally ridiculous) space operas and you'll have a good time :)Not much else to say about it. Angela Bassett shows her butt. Ludicrous death scenes mixed with some horrible acting and the worst creature effects ever will have you laughing your socks off if you don't take it seriously. Terrific B horror movie to watch and mock.Best quote from the movie: "Thank you but I'm not allowed to accept compliments from waste material."
