Star Quest: The Odyssey

This movie is little more than cheesy student film. The acting, the writing and the directing are very amateurish. Many people have complained about the special effects and CGI. I was expecting that for a low budget movie such as this, so it didn't bother me. I watch low budget movies to see them rise above their limits but "Star Quest" failed miserably at that. It is filled with tired clichés and blatant ripoffs. Someone should check the directors backpack for a copy of "Movie Directing for Dummies". Of the many problems I think the cheesiest were the multiple flashbacks that were silent except for the melodramatic slow piano music.

If you're looking for a campy low budget sci fi film that fires your imagination than look elsewhere. If you are a student filmmaker who needs a "what not to do" example, then this is your movie.

Read the other reviews on the first page. Go ahead, I'll wait...

OK have you finished? Good. Now remove anything positive anyone said about this movie. There is absolutely no way a sane person could enjoy this movie. I love watching bad movies but this movie is the worst of them all, taking 90 minutes of your life and giving nothing back. As another reviewer said: It is like a porn movie without the porn. It is a series of bedroom scene setups without the payoff.

This movie is absolutely horrible and should be erased from human consciousness forever. Do NOT watch it and if you do, then for the love of all that is sacred at least do NOT pay money for that dubious privilege.

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.

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....

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.
