Editorial Reviews

Chawla, 2-pop, August 2005

"... like a dose of Sartre, Neitzche, Beckett, Einstein, and Firesign Theater in one shot, but without leaving you depressed."

Product Description

Stuart Bing is all alone in the depths of space. All alone, that is, except for the two million clones of himself. When his starship starts to malfunction, he calls back to Earth for help, only to find that robots have taken over the planet, led by a spiteful, mechanical stand-up comic. Bing’s only hope is to discover the secret of the all-powerful Quark Star, and even then, it may not be enough... "Quark Star" is an innovative DVD-only motion picture, presented as the rescued captain’s log of Bing’s starship. The viewer chooses different sections of the logs to view, and they play back differently every time. Director Simon Tarr also plays Stuart Bing, all of his clones, and the Evil Robot Leader.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible..the DVD doesn't even make a good coaster, September 20, 2006

OK, this piece of crap was made in some nerd's parent's basement. It's in black and white , probably filmed on a cheap pc/webcam. It's just a bunch of clips presented in random order ( probably because the producer/director/actor wasn't clever enough to think of a plot). The clips are only about a minute long and aren't very funny. "Atack of the Killer Tomatoes" looks like an multi Oscar winner compared to this. The worst thing about this DVD is.. [..]

1.0 out of 5 stars Promise unfulfilled, July 12, 2009

This review is from: Quark Star (DVD)

6,000 chunks of trivia, presented in random order, do not add up to a fulfilling entertainment experience -- or really any experience at all. With a space ship crafted of kitchen foil and a helmet to match, on a "set" that would have been embarrassingly amateurish in the '60s, some nebish in glasses & jeans talks to the camera or mimes silly activities in a multitude of minute-long fragments. The idea seems to be that he's stranded in space and things have become horrific back home, but after watching segments with mounting impatience for 3/4 of an hour, I finally had to admit that a coherent story was never going to be revealed. Whatever you do, don't waste $25 on this self-absorbed piece of navel lint.

Hi. I'm the filmmaker. If you gave five stars to Larry the Cable Guy and Lita Ford's greatest hits (see above), you're not going to like my work, so please don't get it. You might want to look around for other reviews or watch it on netflix first to see if you're into interactive art. Thanks.
