Watch this film, if you can but find it that is

I can't find this film to buy/rent/download/anything for love nor money. It's one of the funniest budget sci-fi's I can remember watching. Think humour along the lines of Evolution (David Duchovny) and Dark Star (one of John Carpenter's first)

Definitely a good way to burn 90 mins or so and have a laugh.

Apparently I need to add more lines to submit a review but it's kinda tricky as it's a good while since I watched it (as I can't find a copy anywhere) and it'd be a shame to spoil the wacky humour of it all by trying to waste space explaining it. Perhaps this is now long enough to submit...

This is an accordingly spoofy alien thing

A camera is found at a yard sale that still has undeveloped pictures in it. The finder is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer that collects cameras. This picture will change his life and lead him on a quest joined by a woman who lost her dad under mysterious circumstances.

After you experience this movie, you will never go back to X-Files : Aux frontières du réel (1993). You will see the real Rod Steiger as Col. Buck Gunner. You will see many elements from this movie copied in other movies as Mars Attacks! (1996) and Les Monstres de l'espace (1967). This movie is more realistic. You will hear faux pas as saying "Bug in a rug" in the presence of aliens.

However, if you live in a trailer park, don't watch this under any circumstances.

Intelligent Comedy....

This movie has a lot of great references to past and future movies( e.g. Mars Attacks! which came a year after it.)

But one of my favorites is the "Don Polson" character, which so hilariously captures Jean Paul Sartre, that I was puzzled by the name ,until I said to my wife "I don't see why Jean Paul Sartre character is named Don Paulson!" .

Devious minds...

Computer lingo adds to movie

This is a good popcorn movie for lighthearted viewing and entertainment. The reason I give this movie an above average score is due to the use of computer lingo within the script. That may seem like a silly reason at first, but the movie was made in 1994? and released in 1995, so the terminology was state of the art (sort of) for the time, and still better then some of the big name rubbish still being produced.

Out-rageously funny

Out There, with its star studded cast, was a fresh relief from the boring old "Alien with Tentacles" and "Alien with Ray Gun" movies of lately. Independence Day, Alien, Predator, Species.... even Mars Attacks, all have aliens who try to annihilate the Humans. Here, the aliens are trying to... well, CHEAT us, through the Universe Marketing Consortium, by making us join them.

Outrageously funny, outrageously..... Out There.

Trivia
During the filming, leading man Bill Campbell was, in real-life, dating actress Jennifer Connelly, his co-star in "The Rocketeer." Jennifer visited the set on several occasions and, for fun, agreed to appear as an extra in the grocery store scene. She and the film's director, Sam Irvin, play a couple in the grocery line in front of Bill Campbell.
