NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The Yeti When I saw the box to this movie I thought it might be good for a laugh as it was a normal low budget frightener. I was quite impressed by the way it started though. It has the main character trying to escape from a prison and getting caught only to be told he was being tested for a mission. He and a train load of other misfits are to be sent to a space colony to kill everyone. The introductions to the characters automatically tell you what they're like. Theres Koosman, a pilot. Goodis, a dumb acrobatic who is great small range. Cutter, a rapist and killer. Po, a huge black guy who killed loads of people and so on. There are more but I'd take forever explaining them. They all arrive on the space port anyway and find that everyone has been butchered and mutilated by an animal or something. Is it Bigfoot? Is it the Loch Ness Monster? No. It's just the usual alien monster cover up type thing but its fun to guess WHO it is. An adult Corey Feldman and 80's pop idol Rick Springfield give good performances and make it quite suspenseful. It just turns into a rip-off of Predator at the end though. Quite bloody, good fight scenes and a good monster make it worthwhile too. Overall the good and bad points it gets a 6 out of 10. Now go and find it!
da_man When I saw that this was science fiction with Terry Farrell in it as well as Parker Stevenson who is an actor who's work I've liked in the past, I made time to see this film . . . and was greatly disappointed.I stress now that the acting wasn't bad. In fact, I wonder how the producers of this could talk such good actors into the job! But even the best actor in the world can't make a good film if the script is garbage, and sadly that is what this one is.This film tried hard to be like the Aliens films but just didn't have the script. I tried hard to like it but with so many glaring holes in the plot, cliche's and basic stupidity about it I just couldn't muster any enthusiasm, try as I might.
bcp1524 I saw that this movie was coming on SCI-FI, so being a fan of Corey Feldman movies, I decided to take the time and check it out. Not my best move. Actually it wasn't a bad movie. I was completely able to sit through it. The acting was pretty good, and it had potential, it just had a weak story, and not enough of a plot to back it up. If you are looking for a better movie to entertain you, check out some other space movie, for example any of the Star Wars movies, those, I guarantee you will be entertained, although this movie didn't fail miserably.
Tampon Oh come on guys (pammy). I mean, I don't mind these silly little "stick 10 marines in an alien infested ship" scenario but this one really took the biscuit. NOTHING happens. No gore either to make up for the threadbare plot. Look, just go rent "Galaxy of Terror" instead ok?
