Star Quest: The Odyssey

What can i say, i know it was a low budget film and they may have tried, but this is worse the the asylum moves out there, lol i was actually looking in credits to see if they had anything to do with it. on my humble opinion i think i would have rather sat and watched attack of the killer tomato's. The design of the cgi ship was good but most of the space scenes were like watching a game intro with a lousy graphics card and very little memory, ie. not a smooth flow and most game graphics have better cgi. The acting was as expected in a low budget film and the fight scenes did not even look real, as i stated up the top the design of the space ship was what prompted me to give the score above, as for the movie itself i would only recommend it to someone i really didn't like just for the satisfaction of knowing that they wasted there time watching it.

Having grown up on a healthy diet of Sci-fi, loving all types, from the brilliant, to the insane to the ridiculous, I feel, for the first time strangely drawn to leave a comment on this movie.

Once I moved pass the obvious Klingon type people, that where also cyborgs, with bits of old circuit boards strapped to their chests, grunting and punching cardboard walls, once I arrived at the red painted grain silo that was a super computer, once I moved from the absolutely rubbish graphics, once I moved pass the bridge of the ship which is, well the closet I can relate to is a child's bedroom, once I had moved pass all these things, and finally reached the end of the film (Use the term lightly) which really isn't an ending at all, I felt proud, proud and strong.

I now know, that should I be kidnapped, tortured, stripped naked and become the bitch of some serial killer, in prison for life, I know, that this film will help me endure all these things, because if you can watch, this pile of garbage to the end, trust me, you will be a stronger person for it.

If I was an actor, down on his luck, I would probably take what ever job was offered, but this!!!! Shame on you guys, its terrible, and you know its terrible.

By the way, just my advice, on your resumes, don't for Gods sake mention this, you will never work again.

Space Quest, the final frontier of bad films. I wouldn't even consider this a "B" movie, it'd be a "C" movie for crap. The acting is horrible and the Captain Tanner looks like an emotionless action figure. I mean of all the science fiction films this one has stars that MOVE with the ship, even though they're billions of light years away this gives the illusion that it's snowing in space. Also the ship lags like hell whoever did the CGI doesn't know how to RENDER properly. The "cyborgs" in this look like they just took a few computer parts and slapped it on their bodies. The fight scenes look like a rock'em sock'em robots match. I don't get how in the future a "hyperdrive" can be broken due to a modern washer... though I admit the bridge of the ship looks pretty decent. The intercoms sound like they're talking out of a toilet. I understand this is a low budget indie film that got distribution but it doesn't justify the fact that it sucks. If you pay money to see this or not it is a waist of 90 minutes of your life regardless....

I read the other reviews of this movie and thought it was worth a shot. I've been trying to find good scifi to watch lately and having a hard time of it.

Even with a bad hangover and no remote to flick channels with this is a movie that will stretch your ability to persevere. You WILL crawl across the floor to hit the channel button.

The acting is, well, terrible. Totally wooden. The wardrobe was bought for a total of 10 quid by the look of it. The sets are very cheap. But to be honest you would get over the wardrobe/sets if the acting was better.

It looks like every sentence of dialog was filmed individually and then cut together in the editing room. Hardly any of the exchanges are memorable/believable.

The plot is pretty nonsensical too. Random things seem to happen that are called "the plot". Someone actually gave this movie 7/10 which I really can't believe.

I know this was a low budget flick but maybe they would have been better off not spending whatever money they did have.

OK, I'll stop now.

Even the worst Star Trek movie was more enjoyable than this mess.

Okay, the plot is that in a distant future, humanity has divided between normal humans and a race of cyborgs. They fight a war, but at the moment of peace, they decide to send a starship with a huge crew of five (Yup, probably as many ill-fitting uniforms they could afford to have made) escort two cyborg emissaries back to earth.

Let's talk about the cyborgs. They are a cross between Klingons and Borg, with all the "interesting" surgically removed.

I have no doubt the only reason that Maverick Films (when you see their logo in the front of a film, you know you've been had) decided to cash in on the new Star Trek film.

Cheesy special effects, bad acting, recycled starship shots... a cliffhanger ending on the optimism that anyone would want to see a sequel... All just kind of sad.
