Mission Voyager - Todesflug zum Planeten Trion

Quite different in tone from most films produced by Concorde, "Star Quest" follows a group of stranded space explorers towards disorder and self-destruction. There are only a handful of sets as most the scenes take place on the spacecraft, with a few v.r. sequences that - believe it or not - were actually filmed for this movie (unlike other Corman recycle jobs), plus various shots of the craft's exterior thrown in. The acting is also bumped up a bit from the usual B expectations, Emma Samms, Cliff De Young, and Ming-Na being the standouts. Lisa Boyle makes a nice cameo as a v.r. fantasy girl. All in all, a decent sort of extended "Outer Limits" episode with a nihilistic feel and lingering ending.

This is decent sci movie with familiar story lines but not much different from all the zombie, virus, and super heroes movies. It was yet another space crew on an extended journey story.

It was a bit long with aspects that could have been removed to improve the place but seem added to substitute for character interaction. The acting was decent and production typical for basic sci fi movie. Unlike some movies. it did not try to insult your intelligence with characters doing stupid things or ignoring basic science principles. It was more a character driven story with little action relying on special effects. If you like sci fi anthology shows. you should like this.

While it is not the best movie ever made, nor the best done, I think it's still an enjoyable movie. The acting, while a bit sheltered by medicore scripting, is superb. Ming Na does very well as the doctor, and Emma Samms and Brenda Bakke do quite well also. And of course, being the ever popular De Young fan, Cliff did very well, minus the bad accent. All in all, I would suggest this movie to most people, so long as you don't watch it with kids.

The headline is enough. I don't usually care about bad acting or cheap effects, but this movie is atrocious.

I couldn't even concentrate on the plot because the acting & overall sound is so bad.

Blah, blah, blah. Not much else to say but to take up characters to meet the minimum to help others avoid watching this trash.

First, you start with Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians." A crew is on a star ship and they start being killed off one by one. Add some cheap cliches to attempt to make the characters seem real, like giving the doctor a drug problem (Why is the one character who should be aware of the dangers of drug abuse and is acutely aware there is a limited supply for everyone on board the one who succumbs to it?). Put in the characters behaving by the numbers, saying things like, "We have a mission to uphold"). The movie is so obvious with its plot twists, you start hoping that it's just trying to throw you off, and you see something other than you are expecting. Not at all. In fact, the big surprise plot twist in the film's final act, as well as the "ironic" ending, aren't that surprising or shocking. You watch the movie, wondering what would have happened if they'd tried a little harder.
