Fantastic!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

There is a lot to enjoy in this film. A knowledge of film tropes, an enjoying the dynamics of friends making a film a key to the highest level of enjoyment. If you are not familiar with Red Letter Media, it may take a few viewings to let it grow on you. If you like trash films, like friendship or hate cops - this film will be for you!Easy light watching for a night you just want to have a glass of wine & clear your mind. Of special note is the performance of Mike Stoklasa as "past cop". it is easy to find oneself smiling whenever he is on screen. Patton Ozwald is always gr8, playing w/i the same frame for the film. With the right mood, set & setting: a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Folks should be aware that Red Letter Media's 'Space Cop' project is a compendium of inside jokes accumulated over almost a decade. Thus it is entertaining and satisfying to followers of the group (and their excellent reviews), but it will not stand on its own as a movie that outsiders would enjoy. Those complaining about the cost bemuse me, as it's not clear why they purchased a Blu-Ray of a film they knew nothing about -- but I'm sure Red Letter Media values the financial support (which can help them keep making their insightful reviews).

There's a special kind of joy that comes when the opening credits of "Space Cop" are rolling and you realize that you're not watching just any low-budget sci-fi movie, you're watching a labor of love from a group of friends who really wanted to make this movie.Even when the script falters, or when the acting falls flat, it's this heart that powers the film and keeps you invested.You can see the care and effort in the miniature Moon sets, in the production design for the alien spaceship, and in the props used by Space Cop and the rest of the Milwaukee precinct. Certain elements of the production are intentionally cheap, an elbow jab at the low-budget movies the gang discovers on "Best of the Worst."The filmmakers were obviously inspired by these cheesy, goofy, often over-the-top buddy cop actioners they saw on their show, because from obvious stunt doubles to overacting police chiefs, this movie goes right down the list, checking off every box.As Space Cop, Rich Evans is devotedly stoic and straight-faced, adopting a gruff, no- nonsense voice to mask his character's gross incompetence. But one yearns for the lovable presence Evans has in "Best of the Worst," or on "Half in the Bag." Mike Stoklasa, on the other hand, also hams it up as a detective from the past. There's a childish fun to their scenes together, and to their scenes with Jay Bauman's character Griggs. But too often does the pacing overwhelm the film, and we're left marooned for minutes on end with no jokes to latch onto.How much you enjoy the film will ultimately rely on how much you share Mike, Jay and Rich's absurd, awkward sense of humor. If a nearly minute-long scene of Space Cop punching in the code for his refrigerator only for a single bottle of beer makes you smile, or if you're delighted by three minutes of Space Cop and Patton Oswalt's character awkwardly watching each other on a video call, Oswalt scrambling to figure out how to log out of the call, then this movie is made for you.Stoklasa's character gets some good mileage out of his fish-out-of-water character, and he's dumbstruck to discover that not only can you not smoke in the police station, but you can't "have sex with a woman against her will," either.But on top of it all is Evans, whose Christian Bale–type gruffness anchors much of the film, and whose "Don't Think, Act" attitude provides many hilariously violent scenes. A certain sequence involving a train and a seven-year-old on a bicycle made me laugh so loud, I probably scared my neighbors, only for the scene to be matched a half an hour later by an out-of-nowhere shootout in an alien spaceship that leaves several innocents dead.Only those who truly love the team of RedLetterMedia should check out "Space Cop." It's not as consistently funny or as well-paced as "Black Dynamite" or other farcical '80s-nostalgia films, but the care and love put into the production is undeniable. And, hey, it has to be good — it took 12 years to make, after all.

This movie was so bad I had to make an account to tell you how bad this movie is.You know how you may figuratively say "That's the worst movie ever made?" This is LITERALLY the worst movie ever made. It's trying to be funny (it's not) and campy and just looks awful. When I was 10 I used to make these awful stop motion movies with Lego figures. That was better than this. The campiness completely fails, the acting completely fails. The writing is horrid. My 4 year old has grabbed my smart phone and made faces into the camera that were better movies than this.
