Spacejacked Trailers

The luxury space cruiser Star Princess' maiden voyage is sabotaged when the treacherous second make, Alex Barnes (Corbin Bernsen), kills the captain and "spacejacks" the ship. Barnes then severs communications with Earth and activates a bomb which will blow up the liner unless he is given access to the wealthy passengers' bank accounts. But he mistakenly underestimates the courage of the first mate, Ryan Taylor (Steve Bonds) and an adventurous young passenger, Dawn Taggert (Amanda Pays), who together risk life and limb to try to save the Star Princess and her passengers from inevitable destruction.

Ploydsge just watch it!
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Lidia Draper 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.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Janebo Ya know, just when you think you've seen the worst films ever, another one comes along & quickly dispels that line of thinking. This flick is a disaster right from the opening credits on. The acting, the worst. "Barnes, step away from the laptop", O M G!Not to mention some stupid-looking android who appeared to be trying to emulate Data from Star Trek . The scary looking people, frightening. The cheesy costumes, bad wigs, etc., hurts the eyes. The gratuitous sex scenes, which might appeal to adolescent boys.I mean, How on Earth can crap like this get produced---was there not one person, crew & cast, who didn't say "jeez, should we Really be doing this whatever it is?" Much less dozens of 'em.I really feel for the poster who said they'd actually bought that mess. & when they said "This is not a movie you need to see", they truly made the understatement of the day. My advice would be Run away as fast as you can screaming should you ever come across it! Oy-vey
MolotoW This movie was really the worst I've ever seen! The scenery was terrible, you noticed they just used two elements while creating it: plastics and paper. The storyline was just weird, not to mention the many logical mistakes they made... How can the two guys speak when there's a vacuum? Why does the good guy not kill the bad guy, but instead just make him unconscious and lay him directly next to his laser-phaser-hyper-blaster-cannon-gun? Why is the android smoking? Why is the android smoking a cigarette? Why is the android laughing? Why is the android playing around on his chair? Why does the bad guy immediately kill Gibson after he gave him the "code" instead of let him alive and say he'll verify it and when its wrong he'd kill his wife? Why is quantum-physics (artificial gravity!) more advanced than artificial intelligence (android needs this earclip instead of recognizing the faces)? Just one more question: Why would anyone spend money on such a BAD movie?
Foeth It's not that the special effects are worse than the original star trek series, or that helmets switch position with each new shot, as this is clearly a no-budget movie. It's the absence of any storyline or actor whatsoever. The entire ship is contaminated with stereotypes, while the bad guy tries to extract money from them, by forcing them to give him their bank account passwords. When that fails, he uses a small machine which does the trick within 15 minutes, making you wonder why he staged the entire 'spacejacking' in the first place. In one scene, you can even see both doors of the airlock leading to the 'depressurized zone' standing open. Bah.Rating: 1/10. Honestly, I have seen jars of paint looking more interesting than this.
film_nut what's not to say? Nail-biting suspense, dazzling special effects, amazing acting and a brilliantly original sci-fi plot all contribute to one of the most spellbinding cinematic experiences in entertainment history. Dip into the kid's college fund if need be, but SEE SPACEJACKED!
