This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
View MoreMay contain spoilers but its important for the viewer to know.This movie, In the Dead of Space or Space Fury was a total mess! Instead of doing it the usual way of explaining I'll do it this way!The Good: The special effects were surprisingly good. The music was also good. The actors were good. Michael Paré put on one heck of a performance which was so chaotic I laughed at him! He was really good performing the knife tactics. There was some action.The Bad: I didn't understand the movie at all. Its confusing because this is going on, that's going on etc. There was no explanation how Paré's character became such a great knife fighter like a Green Beret or something. Same thing for Lisa Bingley's character. She acts so sad and such and then when its time to fight Paré she becomes a great martial artist and can beat him up every time! Her character was like several types of people in one. What was the deal with her and her boyfriend? She is in bed with him and does the love stuff with her top and stuff on and then he gets killed and then when she goes to bed she's topless? That didn't make sense at all and on top of that the other guy is supposed to be a superstar of some kind. If his character was really a celebrity wouldn't it be helpful to tell what he is? Why in the world was Paré's character brainwashed in the first place? You mean its perfectly all right to let a psycho be part of a crew in a space station? I could go on and on about this movie. Really in My opinion the film had major potential but it failed. I only recommend anyone to watch this movie if they are a big fan Michael Paré otherwise watch something else instead!
View MoreThis movie is kind of like an episode from the new Outer Limits. It's somewhat predictable and fun, but not the best movie made. If you are like me and enjoy the B grade films pushed out by the Corman camp then definatly check it out. Sci-Fi fun with murder and suspense. Definatly a rental if you can find it, otherwise beware before you buy.
View MoreDo you really want to know that badly?As a lover of low-budget sci-fi films I was hoping for something better. It's not even bad enough to fall into the "it's so bad it's good" category. The acting isn't so bad, but the over-acting is awful. This is evident right from the start where the female lead, Lisa Bingley, attempts to show consternation at the task in hand by wearing a permanent contorted frown. It comes across as being a somewhat infantile expression, which kills the credibility of her character right from the start.The most hilarious parts of the film are the carefully choreographed fight scenes. The acting for this is incredibly wooden, and you can imagine the director saying "No, that's fine - just do it in slow motion, and we'll speed it up in the editing". Then somehow they forgot to speed it up.That brings me neatly to the worst part of the film - the editing. It may be a bit harsh on those involved, as a poor script may be partially to blame. However, the way it was edited made you feel that this was a 24 part TV series that had been edited down to 90 minutes. You often felt that you had missed something earlier on in the story that would explain things. In other parts I found myself rewinding to see if there was a glitch on the recording - the editing was that bizarre. It was hard to tell if there were some actual attempts at being creative or if it was just a rush job. I suspect the latter.On the plus side the actual plot idea wasn't too bad and some of the special effects are reasonably effective, however someone decided to fill in with some bizarre low-res graphics. These were somehow meant to enhance the sci-fi feel of the film. Shame because it just resulted in me musing about how special effects would look if they were provided by a Sinclair ZX81.I'll stop now, as I feel I've already donated enough of my time to this film. Any chance of getting the £5 I spent on the DVD release back?Wait, I almost forgot. One of the crew is a guest sportman, as part of a PR exercise. He's supposed to be a top professional golfer. Check out his putting stroke in the middle of the film. I'll stake that £5 (and a whole lot more!) that he had never picked up a golf club before the film was made.
View MoreWeird space film. Simple minded plot and acting. The crazed-American-Terrorist Astronaut kills the Good Guy Russian Astronaut hero. All this is done on a 50's look-a-like Mir space station. The small amount of animation is not too bad.
