Star Quest: The Odyssey

Space Quest, the final frontier of bad films. I wouldn't even consider this a "B" movie, it'd be a "C" movie for crap. The acting is horrible and the Captain Tanner looks like an emotionless action figure. I mean of all the science fiction films this one has stars that MOVE with the ship, even though they're billions of light years away this gives the illusion that it's snowing in space. Also the ship lags like hell whoever did the CGI doesn't know how to RENDER properly. The "cyborgs" in this look like they just took a few computer parts and slapped it on their bodies. The fight scenes look like a rock'em sock'em robots match. I don't get how in the future a "hyperdrive" can be broken due to a modern washer... though I admit the bridge of the ship looks pretty decent. The intercoms sound like they're talking out of a toilet. I understand this is a low budget indie film that got distribution but it doesn't justify the fact that it sucks. If you pay money to see this or not it is a waist of 90 minutes of your life regardless....

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.

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.

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.

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.
