Wonderful character development!

Undescribable Perfection

Simply A Masterpiece

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

OFF WORLD is another cheapo indie science fiction film which doesn't have the budget to do the subject matter justice. It's about a mission in outer space, where a bunch of diverse crew members interact for a while before crash-landing on an alien planet and fighting for survival. The main source of inspiration seems to be the video game HALO, and there's more effort in creating arty, sci-fi looking visuals than delivering concrete narrative.

What this movie has that most low budget sci fi efforts don't is a decent effort in nearly every department of film making.On a budget of just $750,000,you get a movie with a plot that isn't necessarily anything special,but it's clear to see so much has been done with the money.The plot has a group of youngsters hiring a shuttle to a certain planet for a bit of fun,but end up crash landing on an uncharted planet in a restricted system,where everything from the planets creatures to human soldiers who shouldn't be there,are out to get them.Time and effort was clearly put in to the above average special effects.The indigenous creature effects are actually rather good,and the armour the human soldiers wear actually looks like some thought and imagination was put into it.As far as the acting is concerned,nobody comes across as particularly wooden and they give it a good shot so kudos to them.let's be clear though,there will be scenes where you will look at the screen in amazement thinking "No way would THAT happen",or "No sane person would do that" The soldiers come across as not being able to hit a barn door from 20 paces despite possessing weapons seemingly capable of destroying entire forests in minutes.There are more than a few flaws to be seen.But you know what?.Look past it's failings and at the budget and what we have here is a movie worth watching far more than a lot of the crap churned out by the Sci Fy channel and Asylum.There will be a lot of haters of this one,but it deserves a lot more praise than it has been given.

It's not worth writing a long review for this atrocious movie. Simply put, why and how are movies like this produced and released to the public?! Better yet, how did 3/4 of a million bucks ever find it's way into the hands of people who decided it was a good idea to produce this film? Most terrible movies have one thing in common, and that is, characters that lack any intelligence. It seems the only way that terrible writers are able to move their plot along is by having the characters do things that are so unintelligent, that nobody over the age of 10 would ever consider doing.. or anyone not locked up in an insane asylum would ever partake in doing.

A fun "Campy" low budget B sci-fi flick reminiscent of classic B sci-fi movies appealing to youth such as the original "Blob" and other films of the 50's-70's Young people will find this fun because it's fun watching other young people do dumb things and the foreshadowing is within reach of a teen.This is a better movie than many "A" Studio sci-fi flicks and "bad science" is forgivable in B movies if they're fun.Considering the low budget the effects were well done... Good direction, adequate acting. Refreshingly politically INcorrect. Even more refreshing are people who are upset by this aspect of the movie. har har har.
