Review of Space Raiders (2005) by Adam E — 21 May 2011
80's sci fi action which is err like every other low budget sci fi action movie of the period! So you get the awesome matt paintings, the sets made of other sci fi movies and loads of aliens! Theres a restaurant that looks like a poor mans mos aisley cantina but its still a laugh! Start of all serious, then gets laid back in the middle leading to a rather dark final act.
The characters are as you would expect lacking in substance aside from certain key players (like rough and ready captain hawk who comes of like han solos dad). The special effects are as cheesey as hell but loads of fun (even if they dont tend to match whats happening in the ship!) and thou its a bit silly it whizzes through at a fast pace and theres rarely a scene were somethings not been blown up! Theres a lot better out there but theres also a lot worse.
Maybe one to pop on the side for when you have a free few hours!
