Review of Space Station 76 (2014) by Ken S — 07 Jan 2015
It is hard to figure out what the makers of this were going for. Is it a parody of 70s sci-fi movies? Is it a family drama? Is it a comedy? The film has inconsistent characterizations and plots that make it difficult to figure out what the intention actually was.
Patrick Wilson plays a character that seems like a complete goofy comic character, complete with phony mustache...then he turns into this somewhat sad and suicidal gay man trying to hide from who he is.
The look and parody elements of the way 70s sci-fi looked is dead on...but the comedy doesn't always land and the character stuff is hit or miss. I liked the idea of this movie, I just felt like it never truly worked.
If the filmmakers had settled on a tone early on and stuck with it, it really might have worked.
