Interstellar Wars

So this was obviously made to ride off of the back of Independence day 2 and once that film bombed at the box office, this film was renamed to ride off of the back of a film that was a success, Interstellar. Stealing the poster art, movies ideas and making the names as close as possible, as to trick people into thinking this was one of the prior mentioned films.

That in itself should be illegal, it's false advertising, blatant copyright theft and tricks unsuspecting people into thinking it is another film entirely. If this was posted on Youtube it would be given a banned from the site within minutes.

I can't really say much more about the film than has already been said, there are low budget films and there are micro budget films and then there films like this. Films that literally do not have a budget.

It's nothing but stock footage, poorly rendered public domain CGI animations used on a loop, photo's meant to look like real film footage, no really, there are photo's used as buildings and establishing shots that are passed off as video footage when there is clearly no wind or movement in the shots at all.

The sets are pretty much someones house and lots of tin foil to cover walls and make then look....Sci, fi-y. The acting is porn movie level and the writing and dialogue is cringe inducing.

It's awful in every way possible and not in a "so bad it's good" way either. It's painful to watch and people who paid money to view this should be demanding a refund. Lazy, pathetic and just a complete swizz of a film to steal as much money as quick as possible and run for the hills.

Avoid.

The low rating of "Interstellar Wars" here on IMDb should be a warning sign to stay well clear of this movie. I, however, opted to sit down and watch the movie regardless. Why? Well, because I was given the chance and thought that it might actually be so bad that it would be fun and good in an odd way...

...But it wasn't! "Interstellar Wars" turned out to be horribly boring. The storyline was so unfathomably moronic and ridiculous that it was an awful affront to witness on the screen. The storyline is about aliens attacking Earth, and people are essentially helpless to put up much of any kind of resistance.

Right, well this has been seen numerous times before in other similar movies, but usually it is handled and pulled off with a better impact and effect in other movies. So don't expect anything grand or impressive from "Interstellar Wars" in terms of storyline and plot.

This being a Sci-Fi movie, then having proper special effects that are realistic and believable is alpha and omega. "Interstellar Wars", however, didn't have that. And the lack of proper effects was definitely a hard blow to the overall movie. Actually, the special effects and CGI that were present in "Interstellar Wars" was so poor that it was straining on the eyes. Furthermore, while on the special effects topic, then the green screen work in this movie was just downright horrible. I will go as far as to saying that this might very well be some of the worst green screen work that I have ever witnessed.

The characters in "Interstellar Wars" were rigid and one-dimensional, and were essentially just cardboard cut-outs milling about in a less than mediocre story. And that makes the audience care not one bit about the characters in any degree.

As for the acting talents starring in "Interstellar Wars", well, let's just say that I can't remember a single performance from what I witnessed here. And I am sure it is because that the actors and actresses had very little to work with in terms of script and storyline.

I am sure that writer Robert Ryan had the best of interests at heart and in mind while writing the script for "Interstellar Wars". And it might have worked out well enough on paper. But translated to the screen, not so much.

"Interstellar Wars" is definitely a movie that will test your mettle and will to the very end. Why? Well, because it was most certainly a battle to see this movie to the end. I managed to do so, but clearly was ready to give up a couple of times along the way.

There is nothing here to make me recommend this movie to anyone, unless you find mind-numbing boring movies interesting. If so, by all means, give "Interstellar Wars" a go.

You see that poster? The spaceship looming over Earth and blasting it to smithereens? Well in the film you get a pathetic little thing the size of a house sit about in the air for a while with it's five drones shooting airships.

They say the world has been completely destroyed, but you never see any of it. Everyones always like "civilsation has been completely destroyed". But all the alien do is as follows: turn a few dozen people into 'zombies', destroy a military drone and a couple fighter jets, and... that's it.

The young actors all try and be as sexy as possible. One girl spends the entire second half of the film wearing her shirt unbuttoned, and my belt is longer than the short shorts they all wear.

But I did find myself laughing and crying into a cushion multiple times throughout the film. Most notably at the first scene in the desert where all the actors just start making out for no reason then an old man comes in and says "is this sexy party got an invitation list or can I join in?" then he turns into a zombie.

That should sell it to you.

This is the worst "movie" ever made. Perhaps it is somebody's idea of a joke? Film locations include a vacant lot in Bakersfield, an alley in Los Angeles, and a warehouse somewhere. The adult actors are high school kids. There is porn without any sex. The fighter jets are plastic toys hanging by wires. Inane dialogue. Apparently they couldn't afford makeup for the "zombies", so their eyes just turn red and they act mean. And the aliens? What aliens? This thing went straight to DVD to the bargain bin to the trash bin. There is nothing camp or cult about it... it's just pure garbage. Don't waste your time.

Low Budget? Did they have ANY budget .. at all? Come on!

Not even close to low/no budget porn! I was laughing my a** all the way to the end. Yep! I DID looked all the way to the end, for I wanted to know how bad the end was going to be. Exceeded my expectations! REALLY - REALLY bad! Hahaha!

If you want to laugh about bad acting and bad special effects, I DO recommend this film .. HIGHLY!

No offence to the producer, but next time, triple your budget by adding another $100 to it! .. PLEASE !!
