Space Milkshake

How could it go wrong with two of the hottest ladies in the universe. Light-hearted fun sci-fi. Well worth the watch. The cast worked well together. Don't expect big budget action, it would have totally spoiled this gem.

There is a new genre out there: science fiction as work place comedy. This is one of the better examples. It puts no effort into logic or sciencetific plausibility. Some of the characters are fairly funny. The acting is professional. I usually find these things either too cloying or silly but this one is pretty decent. If you like it, you should love Interplanetary from 2008 not the blockbuster http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1355575/. I can't see giving this much of a rating considering its mediocrity;it doesn't aspire to more and that is just fine.

This is a line to make the review long enough.

Funny little movie that I stumbled across completely by accident. Although I knew all the actors from previous projects, this film flew completely under my radar. It has some offbeat humor and the cast pulls it off and what could have easily been an unwatchable movie is actually quite good.

Although the entire cast does a good job, Billy Boyd stands out playing the station captain and is outright hilarious as is George Takei for his voice work.

The one strange thing is that from what I have read this film cost about 30 million to make, and I can't quite justify that amount of money based on the sets and effects I saw. Unless the actors were paid an insane amount, something is off with the budget numbers.

Recommended for a light hearted fun time.

Enjoyable, pure and really simple. A very decent space comedy with well written characters, slightly above average actors with affordable dialogue, flowing plot and good enough photography. Office life in space and its routine-based timetable coupled with strained relationships and neurotic co-workers is even too credible. Taken for what it's worth and how much it was spent to make it deserves the viewer attention. It's not stellar nor incredibly funny but it would not hurt to see more movies made with this quality rather than boring and pretentious stuff that eventually costs triple this budget for half the entertaining value Space Milkshake can give.

There is no doubt about how stupid this movie is. It all looks like it's made with a very, very limited budget, and the makers clearly don't care at all that it looks like that, in fact it just makes it even better. The whole point of this movie is to have a bit of fun, by making a sci-fi parody, a movie you just can't take too seriously. I'll admit I laughed more than with a "normal" comedy. The monsters, the story, the actors all contributed to it. The cast is only four people, and they all did a good job, especially Billy Boyd that I thought had the funniest character. If you decide to watch this movie just do it with an open mind, get ready for some absurd humor, and just don't expect a high quality science fiction movie. It's a dumb movie but it's fun.
