Space Milkshake

I wasn't expecting much and it was better than I was expecting.

Most of the other reviews cover it's charms and deficits.

If you like programs like Red Dwarf, this is not as good but you will probably enjoy. No brainer entertainment good for a rainy afternoon or to unwind after work.

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.

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.

Robin Dunne and Amanda Tapping off of that Sanctuary, Billy Boyd from LOTR, Kristin Kruek - Lana Lang from Smallville, and some random Gay guy called George Takeaway or something like that as the bad guy.

Sounds good? Well it's schlock Sci-fi with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Evil rubber ducks, running gags, robot bodysnatchers and alternate timeliness. And it's great fun!

Hey Hollywood,

See this movie? Made on a budget, yet it manages to be better than any of your recent blockbusters.

An interesting idea, interesting characters, and good acting.

It's also funny.

Watch it, take notes, and please try to learn something.

Thanks.
