Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Tyypo First, let me say: I love bad movies. It's my thing. There will never be enough time to watch all that have been made. In my quest to knock out as many as I reasonably can while alive, I run across a few that don't even make the cut. This is one of those movies. I *think* that it is trying to be funny in parts, but those are the scenes that fail; the most egregious among these involve conversations about robot love. Horrible. Clearly edited with a chainsaw, sometimes characters are in two places at once, pursuing different ends. It spent a terribly long time assembling the team to defeat the aliens. Once I made it that far, I thought the movie would pick up. Sadly mistaken - I wish I had aborted the mission before that. At the end, the main woman's boyfriend dies. Let's just say she gets over it quickly. Also note the Big Twist worthy of M. Night Shyamalan with key characters switching allegiances. I'm not being facetious; that guy has lost it. If only I cared. Sadly, no one will watch this movie, and hence no one will read my review. At least I got it out of my system.
talisencrw This has to be one of the worst films I've experienced so far from my trusty Mill Creek 50-film 'Nightmare Worlds' pack (on twelve double-sided DVDs, no less), and it did a further injustice at being way too long. Usually these turn out to be just over an hour, so if it's an unpleasant bore, all you have to do is blink and it's over, but this was almost two hours long. There were many ways in which the filmmakers tried to rip off and cash in on much better films--you can tell that their C3PO-type robot, that's supposed to be the perfect bartender, was designed using a garbage can; and the English title distinctly culls from both 'Star Wars' and '2001: A Space Odyssey', both legendary masterworks of the genre. Yet there WERE some interesting ideas of merit, which much better scriptwriters and directors could have really done fine things with (intergalactic auctions of planets being but one of them), so I couldn't discount the film altogether. I'm simply glad it's over and done with, and I will never bother watching it again.In conclusion, it's only worth a look if you REALLY like bad films or sci-fi and don't mind that it's very poorly made--otherwise, give it a wide berth and simply move on.
dwpollar 1st watched 5/1/2010 – 2 out of 10 (Dir-Al Bradly): Very bad battle against an alien race movie that takes bits&pieces from the Star Wars epic and changes them slightly but otherwise is just a badly made movie for any genre. The movie appears to be an Italian-made film and the version I watched was dubbed. The story involves the earthlings first encounter with an alien race which turns out violent as they destroy our first ship that comes into contact with it, then bombs targets on the ground, and starts taking away different races of people for their own slave trade business. This group ends up being one of many planets in an interstellar planetary system and they won an auction for our planet. The spaceship is made up of an impenetrable substance called indiron and a group of scientists and other folk are assembled to figure out how to defeat the ship. This quest is the main plot of the movie until they find the answer and then the ensuing fight against them occurs. This is a poorly acted, poorly made movie with very poor special effects and it's only redeeming part is the unique storyline. There is also a bickering man and woman robot pair that's supposed to provide comic relief but doesn't. The movie is pretty much a waste of the little amount of money it was made with. I guess they were trying to cash in on the Star Wars craze(I hope they made some money for themselves but I won't contribute to their profits and you shouldn't either).
fantasmic1971 Have plenty of crackers ready for all this cheese. This movie is for the person who loves those late-night public access horror hosted shows. In fact, it's a safe bet that's the only way you'll ever see this movie. It's that bad. But that's what makes it so great! Hokey dialog, corny special effects and cardboard sets, along with some of the dingiest background music (and theme song) you're likely to ever hear. Add that to the cartoon-sounding sound effects and you've got a worse-than-Starcrash movie that'll satisfy any B-movie fan! UPDATE: This movie, believe it or not, has been released on DVD. The copy is as bad as the movie, but if you can find it in the dollar bin, there you go!
