Seriously Bad SciFi Movie - Avoid At All Costs!, December 18, 2009
This review is from: Plaguers (Amazon Instant Video)
"Plaguers" is an awful movie, from start to finish! Stop here, say a silent "thanks" that you read this review before you wasted time and money, and find a different movie to watch.
For those that need more, you should know that I really like Grade "B" SciFi and Horror movies. So a movie that is basically a zombie movie on a spaceship should be almost perfect, but every element is just so bad that there is literally nothing to recommend it. Here it is, broken down by element:
* Plot: So many holes you could fly a spaceship through the script. No spoilers from me, a spaceship with a mysterious alien cargo picks up survivors (all female in short skirts) from a damaged ship. Everything is not as it seems, as the body count starts to rise, along with the dead (bwwwaaaahhhhaaahhhaaa).
* Acting: Casting went for attractive women, and there are plenty of attractive women that can act... just not in this movie. The action scenes were just bad and not very suspenseful
* Sets & Wardrobe: I have literally seen better in a high school play
* Makeup: Downright laughable, seriously I literally laughed when I saw the first "zombie"
* Special Effects: Weak, but would have been acceptable if there were any supporting elements
I usually ignore reviews that say, "I watched this so you don't have to", but please heed this warning - I watched this so you don't have to.

IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOUR RIDICULE, December 25, 2010
I am not going to say this is a bad movie.(it is).I am not going to say the production values are bad(they are). I am not going to say the acting was bad(it is).
A spacecraft twice the size of Yankee Stadium with an impressive crew of 7-rescues the only survivors of a ship that was attacked by space pirates. the rescued are 4 beautiful women and are soon revealed to be the pirates and they take over the rescue craft. The balance of this atrocity involves an egg-shaped, green glowing orb which turns the cast into flesh eating space zombies. Since the entire cast is 11-the zombies will be hungry pretty soon.
There is one scene worthy of MST3K. The only survivir boards an escape pod as the ship blows up. The escape pod looks and is the size of a coffin. All the escapee needs is a pair of pants, a low cut tee shirt and a portable oxygen tank and mask. There is a surprise and I could issue a spoiler but the movie is so ridiculous no one would care.

Bad, December 19, 2009
Is Steve Railsback forced to remake "Lifeforce" again and again like it is some sort of celluloid Flying Dutchman?
This is bad. The script is bad. The acting is bad. The gorey effects are bad.
And no one in this mess takes the Mathilda May part from "Lifeforce" - if you know what I mean and I think you do.
I've seen more tension in an overcooked noodle than that on show in this apology for a film.
