Star Quest: The Odyssey

What can i say, i know it was a low budget film and they may have tried, but this is worse the the asylum moves out there, lol i was actually looking in credits to see if they had anything to do with it. on my humble opinion i think i would have rather sat and watched attack of the killer tomato's. The design of the cgi ship was good but most of the space scenes were like watching a game intro with a lousy graphics card and very little memory, ie. not a smooth flow and most game graphics have better cgi. The acting was as expected in a low budget film and the fight scenes did not even look real, as i stated up the top the design of the space ship was what prompted me to give the score above, as for the movie itself i would only recommend it to someone i really didn't like just for the satisfaction of knowing that they wasted there time watching it.

First off, I must say, I have seen some bad movies in my day. I endured "The Butterfly Effect", "Rocky 5", "The Exorcist 3"... and many more. But "Star Quest: The Odyssey" takes the prize. Please... please do yourself a favor and rent this movie. If you are into bad movies... and I mean movies so bad they make you cry laughing then this is the movie for you. I can't begin to tell you how bad this movie is. You must experience it for yourself. I could try to explain the weak plot, or the bad acting, or the slow motion, cheese-filled flash back scenes, but it would do no good. Again, this is one you must experience for yourself. I could try to convey to you just how poorly rendered the special effects are, but you would never in a million years believe that such slop could somehow manage to obtain distribution. This is a true masterpiece of "bad", the holy grail of garbage, the Stanley Cup of feces. Anyone with a camcorder and a severe case of stupid could've constructed this flaming pile of dung. Actually, anyone with just a little too much time on his or her hands could've at least made something worth sitting through. I tried. I tried valiantly to make it through this thing but I failed. After the comedy wore off, I found myself seething with rage; angry that a troop with such an obvious lack of talent and ability had made it even this far in the movie industry. I watched exactly 44:23 of this abomination and turned it off. The tears of laughter had dried up 20 minutes ago; the next 24:23 was simply boring and bad. I realized that there are some tests of endurance that simply are too much for me. I failed in my quest. But alas! There were those glorious first 23 minutes! Truly I have never laughed so hard at a movie in all my life. No... this was not the intent of the director, nor was it the desired effect of those who saw fit to fund this squalid pile of filth. But for 23 minutes of my life, I pounded the floor in shear blissful conviviality... purely overwhelming jocularity as I watched what is, hands down, the worst movie in the history of forever. And so in closing, I implore you, if you want to laugh at the misfortunes of others, without feeling bad about yourself, please rent this movie.

I read the other reviews of this movie and thought it was worth a shot. I've been trying to find good scifi to watch lately and having a hard time of it.

Even with a bad hangover and no remote to flick channels with this is a movie that will stretch your ability to persevere. You WILL crawl across the floor to hit the channel button.

The acting is, well, terrible. Totally wooden. The wardrobe was bought for a total of 10 quid by the look of it. The sets are very cheap. But to be honest you would get over the wardrobe/sets if the acting was better.

It looks like every sentence of dialog was filmed individually and then cut together in the editing room. Hardly any of the exchanges are memorable/believable.

The plot is pretty nonsensical too. Random things seem to happen that are called "the plot". Someone actually gave this movie 7/10 which I really can't believe.

I know this was a low budget flick but maybe they would have been better off not spending whatever money they did have.

OK, I'll stop now.

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.

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.
