snapey7925 I'm a fond watcher of sci-fi movies both from the highs of Hollywood and from the underworld where B movies are made, neither prepared me for what I just watched. The film was apparently made in 2013, i'm convinced this was actually found in some dusty decrepit cellar in a tin dating back to the early 1960's and since nobody knows the actors anyway they got away with it.It beggars belief how a director and for that matter a production company actually put money into this so it could be made and even released. To explain my disgust onto the world about how bad it is isn't easy but let me say that the continuity alone before I get onto the 'acting' was so bad that within the first few minutes I knew I was watching something that I had to report on, for instance the cgi, oh dear oh dear oh dear, lets just say it was so bad that even a cgi ship cast a cgi shadow onto a cgi space background, is that bad enough for you?....no, then how about the visors vanishing randomly into the green screen or the background suddenly stopping when a spacecraft flies past.There are probably more bumbling errors but I only watched the first 40 minutes before switching it off so if you dare go watch it and find out for yourself. Oh and when someone gets blown up the people around that get covered in his blood and guts don't tend to just stay stood there and not give a damn, and the blood wouldn't just stay where it initially landed, it tends to run.......except in this film where it literally dries on the spot.Now onto the acting, there isn't any end of, everyone on it seems to have been dragged in off the streets, doesn't want to be there and then decides to put on stupid voices to sound futuristic and that's the actors dealt with.Now the sets of in internals of the ships, I get the idea of scavenging and that's why the parts are a mish mash of everything, but in the future why are there 1970's televisions propped up on their sides, there must be 100 random keyboards used on the sets simply painted the same colour as what they're attached to and i'm sure I saw bits of lego used also, even the sets of 1970's doctor who and Blake 7 were better than what was used in this film.Right that's it, my rant is over, I bet it's taken me longer to write this than it took the script writer to write the dialogue for this film, OK OK rant finally over. Seriously guys 'n' gals just don't watch it for the sake of your sanity, there are much better films out there that we're made on a budget like this one and are actually good.
lightningslim Make a note everybody, a 1* review on IMDb = "Awful." For this movie a new level of stars is required, I suggest - 1 minus star for every bad thing about the movie... -* Script -Unintelligible, yet trying so hard to be profound, at least that is my guess at what this mess is trying to be. -* Acting - Hard to tell if there was any really except for the "Star" who was giving a tour de force display of "Overacting, and how to look really really stupid, while sounding really really intoxicated." -* Directing - Well, I suppose someone was telling them what to do, but it's very hard to be sure on the evidence presented. -* Visual effects - Yes there were some, but none worthy of positive mention -* Sound effects - Someone mentioned already "Machine guns in space!" But let me also mention hearing far off explosions in a vacuum!-* Physics - I suppose with all the other drivel, I shouldn't expect much, but spaceships exhibiting ballistic motion? Yes, a lot of other "Sci-fi" movies don't get it right either, but that's no excuse! I'm sure the was more to moan about, but frankly I could only stomach 29.03 minutes of this junk. Also minus 6 stars is enough to get the message across.PS. Any positive reviews must be by those who were involved in this monster of a movie, or possibly those on strong medication... Hmm probably both!
Brooke G Okies we have a bunch of TV actors in a low budget Sci-Fi, the acting is OK apart from the bad Captain who whispers and over acts his way through the movie.The ships are TV movie standard but the special effects such as weapons and fire are well lame. If you loose track of what ship you are in its easy to tell, the bad ship everything has been painted black and the good ship its all shiny. What happened to the keyboards in the over acting Captains ship, looks like they are covered in mud? The computer screens in the ships show random patterns and/or nonsense.When one of the crew members explodes its more amusing than i'm sure they wanted it to be and then the crew don't seem that bothered either stood there covered in his blood and carry on as nothing had happened and i guess their running water on board the ship is not running any more, maybe damaged? as the Doctor remains covered in blood for quite a while after the crew member exploded.The movie lacks any suspense, they tried to make some with one of the women trying to reach a switch when all she had to do was just move a little closer and reach it, it had all the ingredients, the camera shots flicking back n forth to other worried crew members, the running out of time speech and the dramatic music, but the reaching scene won't be listed in any Most Dramatic Scenes in Movie History lists.I am reviewing the movie as i watch it and i am sad to say the movie has not kept me interested enough to continue with it, i got bored at about 50 minutes and gave up. I feel i am wasting time watching it and could be watching another much better movie.I am sure this movie could be an OK TV movie but as it is its just boring.
rikard-643-159761 Possibly one of the worst movies ever made, seriously, acting is ridiculously bad, manuscript feels like it being made up while filming, Sean Patrick Flanery has an extreeeeeemly annoying way of wrinkle his nose (like a rabbit) throughout the whole movie, possibly trying to look angry, but more looks, yeah like a rabbit. The CGI is made on somebody's iPad I think. Films like this should not be made. I rather watch Dinoshark... Don't waste your time here guys, I actually created an account here on IMDb just to tell you this. It is a waste of time. A whole heap of funding that could have gone for something good. Nothing else....
