Space Fury

Now, I LIKE bad movies. I particularly LIKE bad Science Fiction movies. But this was just completely unwatchable. It's not good in a bad way that, say, Army of Darkness was. If it's not the very worst movie I've ever seen it's definitely top five and the only thing keeping it from the top spot is that I've managed to mercifully block out the memories of the other four and can't quite remember what they are. The actors in this film quite possibly have the worst accents ever recorded on film. That is, of course, when they remembered that they were supposed to HAVE an accent. Here you have people who seriously over-act one minute and sound like a parody of an extremely cliched, stereotypical Russian only to then deliver a line later on that is beyond a doubt North American. The female lead, who is supposed to be French, sounds about as French as a native New Yorker. Then there's the plot - what there is of it. Speaking as a novelist, I can honestly say that I've come up with better, more cohesive and entirely more plausible plots on napkins in a bar while out drinking and partying heavily. The dialogue is bad, the science is worse, the sets are horrible (Galaxina looked better and if you've seen that film you will know what I'm talking about - even the Super-Marionation of the Thunderbirds looked better for that matter) and it doesn't even explain anything at then end. You know what happened, but the why is never even touched upon. I can only assume that the writers either had no idea or simply didn't give a damn. I think the movie can be adequately summed up by sharing a thought that kept running through my mind the entire time I was watching this thing: "These are the people who WON their auditions?? How bad were the people who lost out??"

I'm quite surprised by all the strangely negative reviews. I thought it was okay for the dollar it cost me to see it. I watched this directly after reading all the reviews here and don't even understand some of them after watching this.

My main complaint, if you can even call it a complaint, is the lack of a more coherent focus on the nuances of the plot, but basically it's just "crazy man in space" so who cares for plot? The plot involves some sort of brainwashing by terrorists - of the lead character, but also seems to involve his unstable nature once on the station.

In terms of acting and events, it is much like a comic book with regard to the intellectual (or lack thereof) facets, which doesn't immediately condemn a movie in my opinion.

In no way does this movie warrant such a low rating as a 1 when you consider some of the other films out there, so I gave it a 5.

I actually enjoyed this far more than "Event Horizon" (which I thought was utter rubbish), and the acting isn't any worse than a few of the scenes from any given "Star Wars" movie, seriously.

Yes, it is rather over-the-top silly (but I seriously doubt it was MEANT to be bad in that light as another reviewer suggested) mostly because of the stereotypes and plastic characters. I mean, how DO you play the role of a crazy person well or in a "convincing" way? Think about it. The acting is really not that much cheesier than that of Anthony Perkins in the psycho sequels.

If you're looking for a "crazy man in space" movie, THIS is it. In fact, if you've seen "Turbulance" (a pretty bad "crazy man on a plane" movie), it is very similar in some respects.

Again, 5/10. Seriously. There are hundreds of far worse movies than this, INCLUDING "Turbulance", which it would make a good double-feature with, regardless, haha.

This movie is the worst movie I have ever seen and I've seen Battlefield Earth.

At best the acting was horrible. The editing was choppy and incoherent. The special effects were great if the movie would have been made in 1972.

There was one good thing about the movie, however... ...it ended!

So poorly developed and performed Produced on such a small budget with poorly constructed sets, props, lighting, costumes and general overall production values.

Michael Pare is one of my favourite actors and I can not even imagine why he would consider a script like this - unless he was being blackmailed or owed money to some loan sharks.

There are some horrible sci-fi movies made, but most have better overall production than this, even if the script is bad.

Since the 70's when Star Wars ruled the globe and even prior - space mives had better effects and props and set dec...a film produced around 1999 /2000 should have succeeded all of them by leaps and bounds - but this makes it seem like this movie was made in the 1950's or 60's.

It's hilariously horrible and a must see - if only to amuse yourself at how bad it really is.

It's too good to give a 1, but not good enough to give a 3...so 2 is the perfect vote.

Luckily Michael Pare went on to do better films, because if this was his highlight, it would have been pretty embarrasing.

However, if I were the producer, director, writer or special effects technition, I would seriously never bring this movie up as a reference of any sort.

If anything, the review by imdb-94 is a little too kind! This movie was on sale in a local supermarket at a knock down price. I thought it might be worth a wet Sunday afternoon's entertainment. I should have realised that there was a reason this was at a knock down price in a supermarket.

Makes Dr Who looklike Ben Hur.
