Perfectly adorable
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreThe biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MorePlease don't think I enjoy ripping movies apart because that could be further from the truth. This review is from a user who is usually encouraging with her ratings and reviews and makes effort in finding good in every movie or TV show even when it's bad. Even when taking into account that it's low budget and not to be taken seriously, Star Quest: The Odyssey fails truly miserably, there are not many movies that are wholly deserving of minus ratings but as harsh as it sounds this is one such movie.Star Quest: The Odyssey looks dreadful visually, there are only a few sets which is not always a bad thing but it is a bad thing where they are so cheap that they wouldn't pass for sets let alone not resembling what they're supposed to be. There is some very choppy photography that may make epileptics wary and the editing was in serious need of a tightening up, that's even in the stock footage-like opening and that was the best the movie looked. And the special effects are some of the worst of any movie, so amateurish and fake in quality that they have to be seen to be believed. The music is incredibly out of place, it would work in a badly done porn movie but the monotonous drone that the music basically is does not fit here at all.Star Quest: The Odyssey is horrendously written even for a low-budget movie. If there was ever any read-throughs or rewrites that really did not show here, the dialogue is so cheesy and very rarely makes sense, some conversations having an incomplete feel. The narration a vast majority of the time was unnecessary, over-used and says very little if anything at all, the only time where it halfway worked was in the opening where it did actually try to explain what was going on. The story really does plod to the point it's interminable, you get a thumping headache trying to remotely understand what little there is of it and it's padded with ham-fisted melodrama that's underwritten and a messy mix of overacted and underacted. There's also a very poorly choreographed fist fight that makes children's playground fist fighting more realistic and one of the most abrupt endings in low-budget movie history. The movie's amateurishly directed, the characters inject next to no personality whatsoever and at times were annoying and with the exception of Shane Stevens(and even he's not particularly great) the actors are like living mannequins, and that's an insult to mannequins.Overall, worthless in every way. Best avoided. 0/10 Bethany Cox
View MoreI bet you haven't read anything positive about this... err... let's call it a video, or possibly something more like a slide show. Undeniably, it's new stuff that you can't really define as a movie, if you can define it at all.Now if I think twice, in the end I'm sure it can add a lot of value in many ways for those who can claim the benefit.Here's the true story: You're test subject for a team of vile cinematographic producers, who have lured you into buying their poisonous stuff. They're having fun in watching you crying, throwing up after 20 minutes of seasickness, getting angry and crushing a DVD into little bits. I can see their evil faces, in the backyards of their Hollywood mansions. They are laughing hysterically as they are sipping their cocktail, thanks to a huge pile of 1$ bills they have amassed, including yours.Great story, isn't it? We call it a concept. And this m... video is full of these.You were wondering how to pay for your next holidays. These guys i.e. producer, director, actors and whatever they call themselves have the solution for you. Make your own movie. Looking at this, you have your chances for money, success, fame, glamour (hidden quote). Welcome to Hollywood, public audience! Then don't forget to be smart. While you're at it, when you will come back from your holidays, bring the movie you have made with yourself. It will be a great sequel to your first flick, which you will sell for an additional 1$ toilet paper bill.Thanks to Infinite Spectrum Productions and Tom Cat Films, you will boost your career. These people always have great answers for getting us out of the crisis. Like this one: nearly everyone commits suicide after 30 minutes into the video, so that means eventually the end of unemployment, and higher salaries for the few ones who are blind or who have the appropriate physical and sensory impairment to be saved.Now that's a whole bunch of new concepts! Enough of these! OK I can't resist a last one. Let's call this a N-Movie. N like "No", or "Never" you will watch this, except if you want to catch some kind of mental disease. Like me with this review. You want proof, you have it.
View MoreSo many close up scenes with bad camera movement, ripped of characters from an obvious franchise, a ridiculous narrator and senseless plot, illogical things happening even for a sci-fi (the stars move around the spaceship...) and wooden acting. Space Quest: The Odyssey is my current fix of looking for a "so bad it's good" kind of movie, but unfortunately it isn't as funny as some horrible movies I have seen already.The settings as well as the costumes are cheap, the music does not go in harmony with this pile of junk and there is no actual sense of a huge war happening. The computer voices fail, the "action" scenes are poor, the special effects are cheap and the lore provided is nothing new at all and ridiculously bad. The editing was amateur, plot explanation scenes looked like cheap commercials for alienating customers and viewing the spaceship gets rehashed.It's at times like this, especially when randomly switching from the "story" to a lifeless planet or a solo crappy spaceship in space and quickly switching back, where I want to ask what the director was thinking. All I wanted to do with this was to laugh out loud, but I could only laugh while acknowledging it's a "so bad it's bad" movie. Sarcastic laughing at its finest. IMDb's misguiding and embarrassing summary on this could not be even more far-fetched from what it truly is, a total piece of failure.
View MoreI usually don't mind spending a dollar at a "video rental box" on titles that will likely not be very good, because hey.. it's a dollar. With this title one, however, I officially want my dollar back. Idiotic dialog. Awkward plot devices. Bad sets. Bad costumes. Bad choreography. Laughable effects. Horrific acting. In fact, the only redeeming quality is the occasional B-movie style sexual innuendo. Unfortunately, it is accompanied by a complete lack of anything even remotely sexy. They even found a way to make the requisite "scantily-clad woman" scene boring and unappealing. Spoilers are impossible with this heap.. there's nothing to spoil! Give this stinker a wide berth.
