Stranded is a movie. I'll give you that. A good one? Far from it. A medium one? Still not quit there. A C+ at its best because really, what the heck was the point of it? 4 people in space, with uber technology (except, the cars are still normal and other stuff that they couldn't "upgrade") with no power for light (the entire movie), with a dialogue that will make you weep at times, and with those very quite intelligent "hey, it really happened!!"; "Neah, it must be all in your head. Even tho what you say makes perfect sense regarding the surroundings, we can't believe you because the script doesn't allow us to".

So you have to watch something perfectly predictable, non captivating whatsoever, not original, not even trying to be something. What is the point? Why make a movie like this? It won't help anyone's career let's face it, and most of you out there, the lucky ones, won't get to see it, won't even ever find out it exists. Lucky bastards...

In 1986, the movie Aliens appears, a future like none would ever imagine, effects made brilliantly that still stand tall after almost 30 years! In 2013 they make Stranded, and you can't help to wonder, how is this even possible? Any of it?

Don't watch Stranded, you'll just waste time that you'll want back. So many other films out there.

Try Cargo, a German movie. Try Pandorum. Try Fortress. Just try something else!

Cheers!

I am always on the lookout for a good SciFi horror film, so I really wanted to like this movie. I thought maybe with Slater it might be a low budget sleeper with good acting and plot. While the actors do try to get through their terribly written lines in a convincing manner, the movie is really bad. I had a sick feeling when Slater started talking into a folding book-light from the dollar store, that maybe this movie was in trouble. Nothing about the plot makes any sense, and nobody reacts in a manner even remotely realistic. Why wear a spacesuit if nobody else needs one in the same area? Why spend valuable time in the middle of a crisis playing with a rock? Why lock-down a room, just to reenter it ever other minute? The movie is a total waste of time. Don't rent this junk.

Instead of telling you about the story which you by now already have a grasp of, I will instead focus on how unceremoniously bad this movie is.

1) Being a scifi you expect either a cool story or some nice visuals. This has got neither. It keeps telling us it's made on a shoestring budget, and I'll admit that some parts were actually nice looking - but all the good parts are ruined by blatantly stupid props and(see 2)

2)Contrived plot twists. OMFG. I was sitting there watching with my mind's mouth open - not sure that the movie unfolding in front of me was for real. It is like watching a train wreck albeit less mass deathy. It will only give you eye cancer and brain rot. I could not turn away though because this movie is played straight - it takes itself DEAD serious, no humour. I SAID NO!

3) The characters in the movie are supremely stupid and that just blows away all suspension of disbelief because face it - there is no chance in Hell that those people would be astronauts, technicians and doctors. No one would employ them and give them the responsibilities they have, much less send them to space and pay them. No, really - it's just sad.

4) Actually I just have to reiterate nr 3). THE CHARACTERS are so stupid it's insulting to my feces' ability to render art before it's flushed.

I could do a deeper analysis, but I doubt there is any need.

When all is said and done - I was entertained in a very weird way. This is in the same category of bad as "Suing the Devil", but not as enjoyably amusing.

A tale of some characters, who were totally undeveloped so nobody cares about them, running around a darkened moon base so you can't see the lack of budget. And that's about it really. Lots of shouting and worrying about this and that, but you couldn't care less about any of it. Could go into detail but, you know what, I can't bring myself to waste more time on this. I have a general rule that I'll switch off after 10 minutes if it's this bad (life's too short), but I stupidly abandoned this because I couldn't believe it was so poor. It didn't get better, just more of the same running around shouting. All I can say is that I suffered this so you don't have to. Amazed that this movie had received 3.4 on IMDb.

I know, that's not exactly the most exciting beginning when reviewing a film, but that honestly just about sums it up.

It's not that it's really horrible or anything; the acting is all right and they are definitely trying their best. And, it IS nice to see Christian Slater in SOMETHING! Man, I sure miss that guy. I was watching 'THE NAME OF THE ROSE' the other day and he was SO frigg'n excellent in it. I REALLY miss seeing him in more quality films...

Anyway, the outside shots of the moon base and equipment are nice; the film is clearly VERY low budget, but they create a moderately decent suspenseful atmosphere. There just isn't a heck of a lot to the story, really; basically a monster on the loose kind of thing.

So, I can't get wildly excited about the movie, but if you are in the mood for a simple, low-budget Moon Monster Movie and if you like Christian Slater, you might really enjoy it...

This is a serious waste of time. It starts off with the worst special effects I have ever seen with obvious scale models getting bombarded by someone blowing spit balls from a pea shooter.

Then the acting starts, and it all goes down hill from there. Even normally somewhat respectable Christian Slater can't save this movie with its horrible plot line and disconnected stories.

The inside of the sets is equally poorly designed, looking worse that the early 1970s Star Trek scenes. The airlocks couldn't hold water let alone pressurized air.

There are too many questions left unanswered both during and at the end of the movie.

Trust me, do not wast your time.

"I've never seen anything like it. Some form of ancient cell structure, it's reproducing at an incredible rate." While on a year long mission in a space station on the moon Col. Gerard Brauchman (Slater) and his crew experience a meteor storm. While trying to radio for help the communication system is knocked out and the four astronauts are left on their own. While trying to figure out what to do they begin to notice strange things happening to each other. This is a movie that I had pretty low expectations for but it was even a little worse then I expected. Bad acting, pretty slow and boring. The one thing I will say about this is that the movie tried so hard to be Aliens but it just never quite made it. There have been some very good sci-fi surprises in the last few years. Movies like Splice and Moon come to mind. This one is not anywhere near those two. Overall, if you are a huge sci-fi fan then you may like this. I did not. I give it a C-.

Going through my collection looking for something to put on I grabbed this, thinking, yeah, a little mellow sci-fi. Had no idea it was a gory alien infection clone thing, really started paying attention once that became evident. I'll tell ya honestly, IMDB can be so revulsive with the trolls and mob bandwagon ranters, I often wonder "Who are these people, what films to do they watch, or are they just professional sad folks who only watch mainstream crap. Because I can tell in their "reviews" if you can call them that, they forgot to have fun a long time ago and are not real film lovers or cinephiles.

I also get rather tired of having to uprate a film (This is actually a 7/10 to me but gave it an 8/10 to make up for the bozo one liner 1 star vomits of these trolls.

The film is actually quite entertaining taken for what it is, a low budget little sci-fi horror film meant to be enjoyed by film lovers with open minds who could care less about thinking themselves a "critic" (What a joke of self delusion that trip is). The acting is fine, the dark atmosphere is fine, the practical effects are fine. It's a perfectly fine little film, glad I have the bluray in my collection. Seems like 90% of these people who take the time to review films on here I'd not allow in my house, and certainly wouldn't watch films with them, what buzzklls they would be. If you like sci-fi low budget horror, and you see this somewhere, it's a fine little addition to your collection.

There's a pointlessness to this film that ultimately leaves you wondering why you wasted an hour and a half.

It's not completely awful, it's just not very good and the main problem is the story, of which there isn't really any.

The directing didn't seem too bad to me and the acting isn't as terrible as some reviewers on here would have you believe, but it's utterly, hopelessly predictable and there was clearly no budget left for effects. They do their best with what they have, but it can't have been much.

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned the external shots of the moonbase - it is so clearly, painfully a model landscape that all hopes of immersion are immediately lost. And what passes for a moonbase control room is reminiscent of an early episode of Blake's 7 (remember that?).

This isn't the worst film in the world, if you've a couple of hours you don't mind losing or you're a complete SF nut, then knock yourself out. Otherwise, move along now.

This looks like it was intended for an audience of grade six kids-who will forgive anything if they get to see a film-any film. Anyone other than a twelve year old probably won't like this movie much since it is basically a dull ride with predictable events happening one after the other. It seems that they are making films like this in batches-three movies in short succession about space bases just like three movies in succession about future civilizations divided into sects aka Divergent-The Giver & The Hunger Games. Stranded is a lot like The Last Days on Mars and Europa Report. Christian Slater has vanished from movies lately so here is a chance to see him do his stuff. His acting is fine but the script isn't very interesting. If you just have to see everything they do in the science fiction style see this-otherwise-like Frank Zappa said-'save your money and don't go to the show'-sometimes it just ain't worth gong to.

It's a movie

Someone said it's maybe a C-movie. I'd call it trash, and this just shows how low Christian Slater has fallen. He is no longer considered a top actor. He used to be OK, but now he only plays in crap series or crap movies. This must be really hard for him, since he got a famous name and a good reputation. Too bad this is the worst movie he ever starred in. I wanted to kick my TV. I wish he could get a proper role. This movie is the worst attempt of a ripoff of Alien vs Species. Species and Aliens were good, but not together. Besides this, the casting crew had to be paid off to give these people roles. The actors he plays with are pure garbage. Did they win lottery and bribe their way into this movie? And not only that. The props are just awful. Nuff said.

What a waste of time and money. I could tell in the first ten seconds that it would suck. The special effects were like 1950's sci-fi. The spaceships, the moon housing/buildings were all so so fake! Obviously miniatures and bad bad lighting. Don't waste your time, Slater must be totally embarrassed, not a B movie but an "S" movie for Sucks! The cast was mediocre and the storyline was very weak. Not believable unless you are a 8 year old and that may well be pushing it. If you value your time and your money just about anything else would be better. We rented it from Redbox as a regular DVD because there were no Blu-ray disc's available. I have found often, that when producers/movie companies won't spend the money to upgrade a rental to Blue Ray disc's they already know the movie totally sucks!

Stranded is a low budget sci-fi which fails on most accounts, due to a lame script and quite bad instruction of an otherwise OK plot idea, which could be described as a mix between the great Alien, Moon and Splice and some gory splatter movie.

The poor actors has here been in the moist hands of director Roger Christian (cathastophy when it comes to films, amongst them the infamous Battlefield Earth) and they didn't believe a thing what they were doing. It's so sad to see this, but not even the best of actors can survive a really bad script and an awful director. When you got both, as here, they are really in a clusterfuck. I feel sorry for them, and won't hold it against them.

I becomes obvious that Roger Christian should be kept far away from the industry, as he is both writer and director of this mess. Well he could direct music videos at best. This film should have been killed before birth, just what should have happened to the alien.The plot holes are enormous, and most of the film doesn't make any sense. They all act as madmen, without any reasoning.

When thus from me gets a 2, is based on the idea, which could have been working, and though this is made in a tiny budget, a great script would have saved it. The entertainment value is also there, if you enjoy a bad movie. This due to the film only taking itself too seriously, with not one single nod to humor. The score is OK. The alien is also quite well made, though Thea should have forgotten the lasting tube fingers.

The dialog is the worst, which all actors of course are forced to eat and breathe. It's easy too see that the actors just wanted this travesty to be over. When the film ends, you are happy that it kept under 90 minutes.

Watching only if you're a sucker for bad movies! Please keep Roger Cristian away from pens and cameras in the future. Or pay him to be sent out in space. Anyone who even thinks about giving him the money to make a film (yes I know he has a new one finishing now) should be tortured with watching this and Battlefield Earth in slow motion first, in a Clockwork Orange style. That should prevent us for further predicaments.

I am a filmmaker and try to be as objective as possible. Understanding that many films have limitations, I try to see beyond the finances and look for other qualities such as performance, story, direction, and execution.

Well, I looked for nearly an hour and found myself, after the first 3 minutes, wishing that a piece of the space shuttle would re-enter the atmosphere, crash through my roof, and hit me in the head.

The most exciting moment of this viewing experience was when I finally decided to hit the stop button on my DVD player. The folks that made this fiasco should seriously consider Truckmasters or barber college.

So we have a good cast of actors, some pretty good visuals and an interesting story. My biggest comparison to this movie would be The Thing and Species due to "it" having similar features to the creatures in said movies. When I started watching Stranded, I thought it was going to be one of those serious psychological horror movies. It is not one of those movies, instead it's more easily to class it as a creature flick but not one of those overbearingly cheesy ones. My biggest complaint would have to be that it gets really interesting at the end and then....movie over. But I did enjoy Stranded and it's one of those movies where I'd really love a sequel just to further understand the progression of "it".
