LOST IN SPACE |
| Writing this review has been a hard task for me. I wish that my lexicon had the words
needed to express my disdain and derision at this insult to cinema goers everywhere.
Before the ‘Geiger’ enthusiasts berate me for daring to find fault with a film in which the infallible guru had a hand then let me say this. His work was excellent in Aliens, and may have been good in Species II, but it was hard to tell, there was so much bollocks in the way. A laughable plot, corny acting and pathetic special effects. These are but a few of the problems. The icing on the cake is that the film actually takes itself seriously – this includes daring to be shown in cinemas where one has to pay for the privilege of sitting through it. From reading other (kinder) reviews it seems that some Fans of the ‘nudity, sex and monster’ genre have been trying to pass this film off as a classic ‘B’ move that does not take itself seriously. Well if it went straight to video, and called itself ‘Whore Sex Beast from Space’ then I would review it in that light. When it plays in the cinema and I have to pay to see it then I’ll review it in the context of such. It was pure fucking shite. PS. I sat through this film in a ‘movie house’ in the US of A. It has not had a cinema release in the UK yet. So there is still time for a name change and a straight-to-video release instead. Though if I had my way it would be a straight-to-shredder release. |
