Convict 762

Man, the 90's where just filled with redundant sci-fi quickies like this. CONVICT 762 has some sort of a horror-edge to it, tries to make a point somewhere along the line, but the over-all plot and conclusion misses it completely. Apparently, this film has the ability to erase itself from your memory after having seen it. I guess, for many, that will be a good thing. About the only thing I can remember, are the crappy special effects near the end (something to do with a platform and the spaceship trying to leave, I think). On the other hand, it also doesn't allow me to remember if there actually was any female nudity in this film or not, and that's less funny. I mean, here we have a spaceship with a crew consisting only out of a bunch of babes... This film has to have nudity, right? Well, I can't frickin' remember! And it hasn't even been that long since I've seen CONVICT 762.

Okay, whatever.

Not really worthy of your time, this film, even if it has Billy Drago in it. And Frank Zagarino should just stick to playing cyborgs that don't speak in rubbish sci-fi/action pictures. Nevertheless, I was expecting CONVICT 762 to be an even worse movie somehow, based on its (at the time) 2.9/10 rating on here. Somehow it's gone up to 3.5/10 by now. With that, I conclude that we live in strange times now, filled with strange people who like watching strange crappy sci-fi flicks from the 90's.

Convict 762 is a lesson in how not to make a sci-fi film. Completely and utterly unwatchable. How on earth did a film like this get made? The performances were overwrought and the special effects were so terrible I expected to see the fishing line holding up the spaceships. Please Hollywood don't make anymore pieces of drivel like this I beg you.

Movies like this are made by the sci-fi channel,advertised,shown and then released and they don't accept responsibility for this abomination.Why is the tagline to this movie is"The more he kills,the stronger he gets!" Untrue! And why must all prisons in the future be in space? Are there no other reasons for colonizing other worlds?

An all babe spaceship blasts off with a serviceable sci-fi script. It sounds like fun, right? Wrong!! The girls crash land on a planet devoid of sunlight in a spacecraft devoid of light bulbs. The gloomy set only compliments the dismal cinematography. (If using ultra low light is a gimmick for obscuring a low budget, it doesn't work). The girls are photographed mainly from the chin up. You probably won't feel cheated or teased by this, however, since their wardrobes are as enticing as potato sacks. The sparse action provided is also undermined by the lack of light and cramped cinematography. I sometimes wonder how those stupid enough to produce these unappealing gems are smart enough to get the money in the first place. The producers wasted their time and money. Don't waste yours.

Like most people who rent this movie, I got sucked in because the box proclaimed that there would be several women stuck on a space ship. So... images of Erin Gray from the second season of Buck Rodgers flashed through my mind. Boy was I disappointed. Not only was there no plot, but there wasn't even an alluring outfit! I thought these movies REQUIRED spandex.

Note to the direct-to-video companies - ONLY men rent these movies, and they ONLY do so in order to see women who are more attractive than the ones in their social circles.
