mkojder-1 Boy, I have seen a lot of cheesy and bad movies. Some of them made into brilliant set pieces by the MST3K crew. However, I'm not even sure they could save this one. It really stinks. It looked like it was made for 25 dollars in some guys basement.The acting was appallingly bad. The first 20 minutes in the 'cryo-chambers' was laughable - you could see that the walls were made sheets of cloth or something. I love how the cheese-monster also peeled away the plastic that was the glass sealing in the astronauts for their 15 year voyage.Gilligans Island was more realistic than this absolutely awful grade-Z movie.

ottfried 12 people sent out to populate a distant star wake up after hyper-sleep to find themselves yet too weak to prevent an alien life form from breaking into their 12 chambers to devour them, one by one. They can hardly move, only wonder who will be next! And they have an estimated 5 hours between each of the creature's meals. In an attempt to become strong enough they begin to exercise. Yet another woman is abducted. Why are only the women taken? They speculate it's because of moment - that the beast goes after those that react to its presence. they get out of their cages, and have momentary respite in an adjoining room. 4 of 6 women are gone, eaten. They are way off course, the planet they landed on, is nothing like their intended destination. They are of course in serious trouble...Oh, the acting... so devoid of genuine feeling that you need smaller shoes afterwards, the script has no characters, but only functions, the special effects are... well, one has to lower all expectations:When they finally kill the creature and venture outside their battered ship, they find their whole ship surrounded by an impenetrable see-through wall - as if they are in a zoo.They are still being killed, though. Now by little men with pointed heads.Do I offend anybody when I say it begins to feel like one of those arcade games or early computer games, where certain decisions in an action play is left to YOU, the Hero of Subjective POW? Well, it does come to an end. Like in the arcade.Must be a fan movie. But what a lame ending! All aliens killed, and there is the promised land anyway! How come so many B-movies have bad scripts? Because, if they had good scripts, they would attract more investors. But the whole beginning sequence should have grabbed someone - and helped fuel professional editorial of the remaining script. And subsequent more funding. Too bad.7 for brilliant beginning, minus 5 for acting and script, plus 1 for effective night goggle scenes, and 1 for understanding and respecting the bare necessities principle.Go again, Mike.

pcmanofpryor I felt this was worse then Plan 9 from Outer Space. Cheesy costumes, poor script, low budget Special effects and just poor acting. I felt like I was watching one of those old drive in B movies but worse. If you're looking for something to just kill a hour and a half or so this is it. You never really get a good look at the cheap gorilla suit alien eating the crew. The acting is so lame I could have done just as bad.The aliens that control the " Creature " look like monkey masks, the weapons the aliens use look a lot like cheap fireworks and cheap one at that.What is really bad is that I had problems just finding this movie on IMDb. I had to search by one of the actresses names to look it up, Unless you like campy movies, steer clear of this one.

cool_splash1 I had been waiting for so long. I planned on buying it when it was Terrarium. Waited too long and found out it was no longer for sale and the movie title had changed because it was bought by Lionsgate. Rented it yesterday and finally got to see the movie. And while not a big budget/Hollywood extravaganza this movie is great. I'm glad the movie didn't have big effects. I think it would have taken away from the movie and what the director accomplished with the budget he worked with. Also how many nobudget films can you name that are scifi besides CL.one, Primer etc; and nobudget films that aren't zombie flicks or slasher etc.? The acting wasn't Oscar winning, but they were believable. I like the ending. It keeps you wondering what will happen next; instead of being told.
