Terminal Voyage

The headline is enough. I don't usually care about bad acting or cheap effects, but this movie is atrocious.

I couldn't even concentrate on the plot because the acting & overall sound is so bad.

Blah, blah, blah. Not much else to say but to take up characters to meet the minimum to help others avoid watching this trash.

When this cheap d-class movie was new in 1994 it would of been ridiculously bad. Now in 2021 this can't really be called a movie - it's more just some ugly trash that have emerged from the sewers.

There is no reason for anyone to watch this terrible piece of waste.

Quite different in tone from most films produced by Concorde, "Star Quest" follows a group of stranded space explorers towards disorder and self-destruction. There are only a handful of sets as most the scenes take place on the spacecraft, with a few v.r. sequences that - believe it or not - were actually filmed for this movie (unlike other Corman recycle jobs), plus various shots of the craft's exterior thrown in. The acting is also bumped up a bit from the usual B expectations, Emma Samms, Cliff De Young, and Ming-Na being the standouts. Lisa Boyle makes a nice cameo as a v.r. fantasy girl. All in all, a decent sort of extended "Outer Limits" episode with a nihilistic feel and lingering ending.

When a movie starts off with a spaceship floating in space, you are being told that this is where the action is happening. Telling us at the end of the movie that it's all been a simulation implies that...well, there were reasons for everything we saw to be simulated. A smart movie with this sort of premise--like The Matrix--sets this up visually and thematically and follows through on motifs of simulacra or dreams throughout the piece.

Here is a movie where everyone is being tested, but everyone is acting like they're living in real life. I just don't get it. If they hadn't tried to pull a twist ending--where none of our protagonists have suffered any consequences due to their own actions, but the outside world has changed around them despite themselves--this could have been an interesting Man vs. Himself story. It's just a muddled mess, though. And I'm pretty sure some footage is recycled from other B-movies.

This is decent sci movie with familiar story lines but not much different from all the zombie, virus, and super heroes movies. It was yet another space crew on an extended journey story.

It was a bit long with aspects that could have been removed to improve the place but seem added to substitute for character interaction. The acting was decent and production typical for basic sci fi movie. Unlike some movies. it did not try to insult your intelligence with characters doing stupid things or ignoring basic science principles. It was more a character driven story with little action relying on special effects. If you like sci fi anthology shows. you should like this.
