Review of Space Station 76 (2014) by Matthew C — 30 Jul 2015

A lot of fun...

Personally, I think it's a great idea: a 1970s-style sci-fi flick with 1970s-style melodrama -- cigarettes, knee-high socks, and all. While there is a lot of wit to be enjoyed, many jokes fall flat. Also, while it probably isn't meant to have one, audiences might be annoyed at this satire's lack of any real plot. The story pretty much bounces around the various characters on the space station and peeks into their random, messed-up lives. Still, it's fairly entertaining for the most part and sports an enjoyable cast. Love the psychotherapist bot!

(Quick aside: It could've also used more sci-fi shenanigans, but it's clear that's not what the filmmakers had in mind. Clearly they didn't have the budget for more anyway.).
