Also known as Terminal Voyage.
Here is a Roger Corman produced movie that was made for tv. A new low? I mean at least most his stuff went to the theater!
My friend Reiss once said he was trying to watch just about every space movie. I said something like that was an awesome idea. It would be something right? And given the genre there’s not a ton like dramas or musicals. It’s space. It’s going to at least be a thriller.
Or is it? I would defy anyone to tell me first, what genre is Star Quest and even more, who the fuck is this for? I wouldn’t have guessed made for tv because there’s nudity but I guess they edited that out for tv. Some guys wake up from a space sleep and discover the world was destroyed. They all spend ample time in the virtual reality machine and that’s a solid 25-30 minutes and then eventually conflict arises.
This movie is stone cold boring. There’s a ton of talking and nonsense and it does eventually get moving but wow! So slow. People deal with the apocalypse in different ways, some take drugs and some become destructive. The end throws a couple twists that work I’ll say and then boom. Over.
It’s not that bad because it picks up speed but it’s incredibly uneven and poorly acted. It looks pretty cheap but in a good way. I dunno, I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it. Maybe a 2.5 range.
