The greatest movie ever made..!

That was an excellent one.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

In a universe where everything is called a "protocol," can people who (apparently) can keep regenerating, no matter how often or messily they get killed, find any emotional meaning in anything? Nope.I have to admit, I was well into fast-forward mode by the time the first crew member regenerated, but at least it explained why his sweetheart didn't freak out when he exploded and covered her with blood and tissue. Instead, she stood there with a disgusted expression as if she'd just been in a foot fight, or someone dropped a paint-filled water balloon on her head. So I don't know what the whole regeneration sub-plot was about, but at the end there's all this emotional angst because the cute lady co-captain (I think) dies of a gunshot wound, and then in the last scene she's back as well, safe and sound (and even regenerated the same costume without bloodstains or bullet holes) so what's the big fuss? Did anyone watch this mess carefully enough to figure that out? I was mildly curious, but not enough to rewind it and watch a single extra frame again to find out.I wonder if they just put a bunch of actors together on the sets and had them make up their lines? So almost everything you have heard about how bad this movie is, is true. I don't think it's quite the worst science fiction movie I've ever seen. That would probably be Dracula 3000. This one actually seems to end the way someone intended it to end, stupid as that ending may be, instead of just stopping because they ran out of film or time or drugs or . . . something. But that said, this one is still right there nipping at Dracula 3000's heels.

This film was the worst I ever watched (and I kept on watching it because of this). I never write reviews but in this case I made an exemption. At the end I thought I watched a film that was produced around 1960. The dialog's were terrible. The switch between scenes was very confusing. The special effects were very simple and totally not realistic. There was a lot of blood (too much). I don't understand what the filmmakers were thinking. They could could not have been serious in making this film and what about the actors? What serious actor would play in such a movie. I think that every beginning filmmaker should be forced to see this film. This would certainly enhance their self perception.

The idea for the movie did seem decent enough if not exactly original, and I was willing to forgive any shortcomings providing that it looked that effort was made. Unfortunately Scavengers or Space Soldiers didn't seem to show much if any effort. The best thing about it is the music, which was fitting and had a sense of dread but once the movie was over I couldn't remember any of it at all. So if that was it for a redeeming value, that doesn't say very much now, does it? Scavengers/Space Soldiers is made cheaply to the extent that it was a real eyesore to look at, with choppy editing, too darkly-lit and green-screen like sets and special effects that looked like they were made out of the least expensive plastic they could find. The writing sounds incredibly forced and inane, the worst of it even intelligence-insulting, I agree that the villains' cheesy nick-names are indication enough of how bad the writing is here. The story is plodding and predictable with nothing suspenseful, thrilling or fun. If any kind of heart went into making Scavengers/Space Soldiers I for one certainly didn't see it. The direction at best is amateurish, while the acting is just terrible. The actors do have truly bad dialogue and cardboard characters to work from, but I don't see that as much of an excuse to act miserable throughout. Sean Patrick Flanery over-compensates so badly that it was really embarrassing to watch him, if an actor who has shown before that he can be good can be bad as well that is also an indication of the quality of the acting. All in all, utterly wretched in almost every way possible excepting the music, considering even that asset wasn't that great either that is faint praise. I personally don't think it's the worst movie ever made or the worst I've ever seen, but it is one of the worst I've come across in a long time and probably the worst movie of 2013 I've seen so far. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Probably one of the 'TOP TEN' best low-budget sci-fi films I've seen in the last couple of years. Yes, some of the actors were bad, but some of them did a decent job. The dialog wasn't great, but the story was excellent and actually quite interesting. I enjoyed the graphic novel feel of the digital effects, costumes and sets. I am not sure what was going on with the one scene of nudity..... unnecessary. For being a low budget film i was impressed. Not many low budget films can be pulled off like this. This movie kept me very entertained throughout....the beginning is a little slow but it picks up. Score and Sound Effects are pretty decent as well. Overall, I think Scavengers is a film worth watching....
