Review of Dark Star (1974) by Tom M — 30 Mar 2008

What the hell did I just watch?

This could actually be good (the storyline and "nonesense" humor are actually quite clever) but I thought it was simply too poorly done to be enjoyable... and I'm not talking about the absolutely terrible effects (ok, they had a low budget..) but simply the filming and the shitty acting are just bad.

I did recognise though some shots and backgrounds which might have inspired Alien which is a plus. Another plus would be some original ideas.. I liked the cryogenicly frozen captain.. that was quite absurd and eerie.

Other than that I could have passed watching this...

I can understand that some people like this film, but I won't be recommending it to anyone.
