Spacejacked

This movie was really the worst I've ever seen! The scenery was terrible, you noticed they just used two elements while creating it: plastics and paper. The storyline was just weird, not to mention the many logical mistakes they made... How can the two guys speak when there's a vacuum? Why does the good guy not kill the bad guy, but instead just make him unconscious and lay him directly next to his laser-phaser-hyper-blaster-cannon-gun? Why is the android smoking? Why is the android smoking a cigarette? Why is the android laughing? Why is the android playing around on his chair? Why does the bad guy immediately kill Gibson after he gave him the "code" instead of let him alive and say he'll verify it and when its wrong he'd kill his wife? Why is quantum-physics (artificial gravity!) more advanced than artificial intelligence (android needs this earclip instead of recognizing the faces)? Just one more question: Why would anyone spend money on such a BAD movie?

Ya know, just when you think you've seen the worst films ever, another one comes along & quickly dispels that line of thinking. This flick is a disaster right from the opening credits on. The acting, the worst. "Barnes, step away from the laptop", O M G!

Not to mention some stupid-looking android who appeared to be trying to emulate Data from Star Trek . The scary looking people, frightening. The cheesy costumes, bad wigs, etc., hurts the eyes. The gratuitous sex scenes, which might appeal to adolescent boys.

I mean, How on Earth can crap like this get produced---was there not one person, crew & cast, who didn't say "jeez, should we Really be doing this whatever it is?" Much less dozens of 'em.

I really feel for the poster who said they'd actually bought that mess. & when they said "This is not a movie you need to see", they truly made the understatement of the day. My advice would be Run away as fast as you can screaming should you ever come across it! Oy-vey

I don't normally award "1"s to movies. Even dregs like "Space Mutiny" and "Castle of Fu Manchu" will get a "2" or better ("Mutiny" actually spent some money on sets and effects, and "Fu" had Christopher Lee in it). It takes something especially awful, totally devoid of entertainment value or even basic human emotion, to get me to rate it as a "1". Not only do I have to dislike the film, I have to HATE it.Not only do I have to HATE it, I have to DESPISE it.

BUT, if ever a film deserved a "1" rating, it is "Spacejacked".

This film has been in rotation on cable for several years, and I have tried to watch it several times. Or rather, the first couple of times I tried to watch it. Then I tried to just switch back to it every few minutes. Then I simply tried to catch the ending and the credits. But I simply cannot make myself do it. This film makes dreck like "Hobgoblins" and "Knights" look like "Citizen Kane". In fact,calling "Spacejacked" "dreck" is an insult to dreck.

The sets wouldn't pass muster on a "Captain Video" serial episode. The costume designs would be rejected by the drama department at a middle school. The score is a total 'disconnect' from the events on the screen. The acting...well, the extras and the actors in the minor parts all do their best, but Corbin Bernsen (who used to actually be good) stinks up the joint something awful. I can only assume that he took one look at the script, decided that his career was basically over, and said, "What the hell, I'm gonna stink up the joint." What's worse, is he is STILL the best actor in the film.

This film drips incompetence and laziness from every frame of its film stock. It's not even fun to watch as a 'Golden Turkey'/"MST" style stinker, because on top of all its other faults, it's got no heart. I mean, come on, even "Plan 9 From Outer Space" had a heart.

I can't recommend this under any circumstances, and I'm the fellow who once said that "The Starfighters" would be watchable if you were in a certain weird mood.

Avoid like the plague, and do NOT pay money to see this!

It's not that the special effects are worse than the original star trek series, or that helmets switch position with each new shot, as this is clearly a no-budget movie. It's the absence of any storyline or actor whatsoever. The entire ship is contaminated with stereotypes, while the bad guy tries to extract money from them, by forcing them to give him their bank account passwords. When that fails, he uses a small machine which does the trick within 15 minutes, making you wonder why he staged the entire 'spacejacking' in the first place. In one scene, you can even see both doors of the airlock leading to the 'depressurized zone' standing open. Bah.

Rating: 1/10. Honestly, I have seen jars of paint looking more interesting than this.

This is a very weak effort from every angle. The storyline is mediocre at best, but bad acting, non-existent continuity and high school quality effects make it far worse. I'm not sure why money was spent to make this movie (tax write-off???), but I am sure that no one should spend money to see it.
