smootheflyboy469 I love this Movie! Where can I get it? I had copied it from TV and lost it in a fire! Please tell me where I can find it!!! A lot of the actors have gone on since this film and I can see it is in their biography! I so wish that it was easier to find. To me it was an awesome movie back then and I still love it! But don't tell my friends! Hehe! They would think I was SCI-Fi Nerd! Oh wait! I am! LOL! I love star Trek Don't get me wrong.... but when i was a kid I saw this and could just totally relate to one of those teenagers being me! I wish I could have been in the movie! Even if i was just an extra in the fight scene or a bad guy! The computer voice of Priscilla was so funny! She had Human Qualities! "We don't like our failures hanging around... Do we?" I loved the idea of the Bracelet that Vance Arthur had! I wanted my watch to be one of those! Beanie? He is just so smart! Huxley? Hmmmm... I liked the name...! Dr. Eugene? Wound way to tight! Captain Forbes? Victim of misfortune! Sally Arthur? She's so pretty! Admiral Beasley? Funny bad guy! Jake Brown? Big Muscles On The Captain.... Caaaaveman!!!! That was Malnourished! That was so funny!
misty-13 I would like to recommend this movie to everyone. It is a clean-cut family movie without the aid of bad language or violence. Except for a few fight scenes, there is no real violence in this picture. The use of computers is done with such finesse, it actually makes you think that Earth could indeed be just like this someday. I was fortunate to be a part of the making of this movie and I enjoyed my first experience as an extra. The movie was actually made in Vancouver, B.C. on the grounds of Expo '86. They used some amazing props from some of the pavillions and I will always cherish this movie. It was premiered for the cast and crew (and Extras) in the IMAX theatre. Now that truly is a sight to see on the big screen. In 1988 it was a brand new idea whose time has finally come today! I sure wish it would be brought back to T.V. just once so my children could see it and my grand-daughter too!
fantasmic1971 This would make fun fan-fiction ... hello fan-fiction writers! Start writing, please!!!I too watched (and recorded) this when it was on TV back in '88. Believe it or not, I still have the video tape. I found it again by accident recently and decided to watch it just for fun. It's a little more corny than I remember it, but still fun. The films biggest problem is all the boyfriend/girlfriend worrying the young crew does. The viewer gets real tired of that really fast! The computer voice was hokey as well. This isn't a widely remembered film, and I've never seen it re-aired. It might work if it was remade, the general plot of the story wasn't bad. It's just one of those made-for-TV '80s films from the Disney Sunday Movie era that ran once and now sits rotting in their vaults. Shame.
Rokky Earth Star Voyager is one of those gems of science fiction television that comes once in a blue moon. The characters and storyline were very believable. I was equally enthralled by the politics that went on aboard the ship as well as the special effects. On the special effects side, they were done with careful precision, although they do seem dated when compared to the computer generated mish-mash of today (i.e., Matrix, Jurassic Park, etc.). I first saw ESV back in Junior High and fell in love with it. I would count this made-for-television movie as one of the inspirations for me to take up engineering in college several years later. I believe we will climb towards the stars someday, just as the crew of ESV did in the movie. I have no doubt.
