Star Quest: The Odyssey

Even the worst Star Trek movie was more enjoyable than this mess.

Okay, the plot is that in a distant future, humanity has divided between normal humans and a race of cyborgs. They fight a war, but at the moment of peace, they decide to send a starship with a huge crew of five (Yup, probably as many ill-fitting uniforms they could afford to have made) escort two cyborg emissaries back to earth.

Let's talk about the cyborgs. They are a cross between Klingons and Borg, with all the "interesting" surgically removed.

I have no doubt the only reason that Maverick Films (when you see their logo in the front of a film, you know you've been had) decided to cash in on the new Star Trek film.

Cheesy special effects, bad acting, recycled starship shots... a cliffhanger ending on the optimism that anyone would want to see a sequel... All just kind of sad.

Having grown up on a healthy diet of Sci-fi, loving all types, from the brilliant, to the insane to the ridiculous, I feel, for the first time strangely drawn to leave a comment on this movie.

Once I moved pass the obvious Klingon type people, that where also cyborgs, with bits of old circuit boards strapped to their chests, grunting and punching cardboard walls, once I arrived at the red painted grain silo that was a super computer, once I moved from the absolutely rubbish graphics, once I moved pass the bridge of the ship which is, well the closet I can relate to is a child's bedroom, once I had moved pass all these things, and finally reached the end of the film (Use the term lightly) which really isn't an ending at all, I felt proud, proud and strong.

I now know, that should I be kidnapped, tortured, stripped naked and become the bitch of some serial killer, in prison for life, I know, that this film will help me endure all these things, because if you can watch, this pile of garbage to the end, trust me, you will be a stronger person for it.

If I was an actor, down on his luck, I would probably take what ever job was offered, but this!!!! Shame on you guys, its terrible, and you know its terrible.

By the way, just my advice, on your resumes, don't for Gods sake mention this, you will never work again.

This movie is little more than cheesy student film. The acting, the writing and the directing are very amateurish. Many people have complained about the special effects and CGI. I was expecting that for a low budget movie such as this, so it didn't bother me. I watch low budget movies to see them rise above their limits but "Star Quest" failed miserably at that. It is filled with tired clichés and blatant ripoffs. Someone should check the directors backpack for a copy of "Movie Directing for Dummies". Of the many problems I think the cheesiest were the multiple flashbacks that were silent except for the melodramatic slow piano music.

If you're looking for a campy low budget sci fi film that fires your imagination than look elsewhere. If you are a student filmmaker who needs a "what not to do" example, then this is your movie.

First of all, what the heck was this? The cgi in this film looked like something a fourth grader conjured up. Low budget or not. Surely you could have done better than that? The story line bounced around to so many meaningless angles that it made my head spin, which was good in a way, considering the fact that the acting was about to make me shoot myself. The whole thing reminded me of a lame porn(yes, I had seen a couple when I was younger). The only thing missing was the xxx scenes. It even had porn music playing throughout the whole thing. The acting was so flat, that it made me believe these actors and actresses had been given a lobotomy prior to the filming. Could someone please be kind enough to hire them to be employed in a "workshop" facility? If you watch this movie through to the end, you are either brave...sorry, not brave. You have to be a vegetable to get through this one.

Read the other reviews on the first page. Go ahead, I'll wait...

OK have you finished? Good. Now remove anything positive anyone said about this movie. There is absolutely no way a sane person could enjoy this movie. I love watching bad movies but this movie is the worst of them all, taking 90 minutes of your life and giving nothing back. As another reviewer said: It is like a porn movie without the porn. It is a series of bedroom scene setups without the payoff.

This movie is absolutely horrible and should be erased from human consciousness forever. Do NOT watch it and if you do, then for the love of all that is sacred at least do NOT pay money for that dubious privilege.
