Just one of this really bad movies

If you see it you know what i mean. The dialogues are "beavis and butthead-like", the action-part is even worse. The actors : I have seen 6 year old pupils acting more realistic. The airfights : Forget it, ok they fly.. They show some nice planes (unarmed) two minutes later the plane fires a rocket..

Some nice details : In many parts of the movie you see the cables and strings pulling the objects (remember this if you watch the ending dogfight)

I just hate it !!

Lets say it simple. This is by far the worst film I ever saw. The >whole movie is absolutely ridiculous. The acting is horrible, the story is absolutely unrealistic and the visual effects are simply horrifying.

Furthermore all the guys are wearing the same uniform the whole film through (I can hardly imagine a spacesuit being the clothing of choice for a commando mission). The action scenes are by far the worst I have ever seen (during the dogfights only one is visible, and this is always unarmed). Even if this movie would have cost less than 100 bucks it would look lousy.

But I have to admit that this is the best movie for any trashnight. Maybe I was wrong and the whole thing is ment as a satire on Top Gun etc. Then I would grant 10 stars out of 10

So bad it is almost good!

Great fun if it was a parody...If it had Charlie Sheen as the lead this could be Hot Shots 3. The main character has to be one of the stupidest on screen. For instance: He takes off on a shuttle mission and during landing he is informed on the procedure! He is told to push the big red button (autopilot - Let's just forget that you CAN'T land on autopilot) and if it fails he has to do it himself and not forget to push the brakes himself! Hilarious. Later, during an unexpected dogfight he discovers that he has no weapons at all. Obviously he neglected to check before going on a dangerous mission! LOL The production is so cheap, they don't even have something that remotely looks like a space suit! They just wears a jump suit with a jet plane helmet... The rest, please discover for yourselves....

Trivia
Some of the stock footage seen in the film was personally provided by NASA.

Goofs
White refers to "7 other members of the crew" of the shuttle. The normal crew complement for a shuttle is 7, not 8. Aside from this, during the mission, we only see White and his pilot, plus 2 others.
