Paul Magne Haakonsen Now, this was something else. Weird, very weird, I tell you."Space Station 76" was definitely something in a league of its own. So is that good or bad? Well, that depends on what you expect from the movie. If you expect to see something so unique that it outranks anything else in most other movies, then good. If you expect a proper comedy with great entertainment value and laughs, then not so good.I was expecting the latter, so I wasn't impressed with the outcome of "Space Station 76". Sure, the movie had an amazing cast ensemble and a really good production value, but it just lacked proper entertainment worth to keep me amused and entertained. Yeah, I did manage to stick with the movie to the very end, but solely to see what happened to the people, not because it was such a captivating movie that I just had to finish it.The characters in "Space Station 76" were incredibly colorful and varied. Which definitely helped the movie along quite well. And they managed to capture that 1970s feeling and atmosphere quite well, both in designs of the space station, clothing and wardrobe, and characters alike, so that was also a big plus.I had expected the movie to be more funny than it turned out to be. And I wasn't even laughing throughout the course of the movie, so that counted against the movie experience as a whole.I think that "Space Station 76" is something of an acquired taste, and thus it will not have such a great appeal to everyone in the audience.But still, I am rating it five out of ten stars, solely because of its production value, its cast and its ability to capture that groovy atmosphere. But it just lacked entertainment value for me, hence the mediocre rating.

Michael Ciavola I loved this movie! But note that the style of comedy is more observational and surreal, which unfortunately is not everyone's cup of tea. I wish it was because I think this is a great movie.Those that expect a movie with an Austin Powers like take on sci-fi along with blunt and obvious humour should note that it is not intending to be anything like it. The story features depressed characters who feel isolated, unfulfilled and unloved all struggling trapped on a spaceship. The movie has a style and pace that resembles the experience/suffering of the characters floating in this metaphorical void of space.Perhaps like any movie genre, you need to be in the mood for it or prefer the genre. Even though it is much more 'composed' in story telling than your 'average movie', it does not make this movie bad, rather it seems it is quiescence that displeases certain viewers. See this movie when you don't feel like Hollywood raping your senses :)Set design is great. Performances are great; Matt Bomer very natural, Liz's understated performance is great and contrasted with other neurotic characters creates some funny moments. To me it seems this movie skilfully turned out like it meant to, and I therefore feel it's an underrated unique little gem.

svanlijnden I consider myself a fairly 'typical' viewer. By which I mean that I tend to find myself agreeing with the professional critical consensus on a book, movie or film. (Rather than the popular one, which tends to get distorted by rabid fans on one side and equally rabid haters on the other end.) Personal mileage can vary of course, but it is rare that I find myself really enjoying something that – according to most critics – sucks. Space Station 76 is such a thing.The movie is a loving pastiche of scifi from the sixties and seventies, sporting some impressive retro styling and understated but modern special effects. It introduces us to the crew of the titular space station through the eyes of new arrival Jessica (Liv Tyler). A she will discover, the people on board have their share of issues. And Jessica has some of her own to add. Though the size of the station and the extras milling about in the background indicate that there is a large crew, the story focuses on just a few of them and makes them feel isolated and alienated. Some of their problems are timeless, such as cheating and the tribulations of parenthood, some have consciously been given a dated feel. Being gay is a shameful secret in this retro- future and emancipation is only just starting to be a thing. This is a future in which smoking around babies is no big deal and fashion shows are best viewed on stereoscopic slides with a cutting-edge plastic viewmaster.I can see how this movie would turn people off. It walks a fine line between being funny and being poignant, trying to engage your emotions while also going for the occasional cheap laugh. The cast is game, playing it mostly straight – even some of the more absurd bits – and going slightly camp when a moment calls for it. Like the space station itself, the story moves slowly and doesn't really end up getting anywhere surprising. You have to be fond of the kind of movies that Space Station 76 pokes fun at and you have to allow yourself to get enveloped by its weird mood and funky synth music. Seeing it in the dark on a big screen is definitely recommended. Fail to tune into its frequency and you will be left with a boring slog through phoney-looking sets that goes nowhere. The movie could have used more sting in its tale, but I couldn't help but be seduced by it.

grantss So bad it's...still bad. Incredibly bad.Not sure if this movie was meant to be a comedy or a drama. As a comedy it wasn't funny, and as a drama it was incredibly amateurish. Loathsome characters - there's really nobody to like. Very silly sub-plots and dialogue, like a kid wrote the script.Surprisingly for a 2014 sci fi movie (or any 2014 movie, in fact), CGI is quite poor. Yeah, I know they were trying to recreate some sort of 1970s sci fi vibe with this movie, but did they have to go full Thunderbirds? Actually that's an insult to the original Thunderbirds - that had better special effects...There is almost nothing to like about this movie. The only interesting scenes are the ones involving the robots, as they turn out to be quite funny. Maybe not intentionally...The fact that the cast includes Jerry O'Connell tells you that this movie is going to be crap...he only acts in craptacular movies. However, don't know why Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson are there - they can certainly do better. (Unless their careers have subsided to this extent). Marisa Coughlan gives one of the most annoying performances in the history of cinema.This movie is so incredibly and deliberately bad I can only think that the producers made it as a tax write-off.
