I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Purely Joyful Movie!
Best movie of this year hands down!
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Yes, this movie is horrible. The plot is derivative, the props are a joke, and the acting makes my junior high Huck Finn worthy of a Tony. Yet, it is not a total loss. Some movies are so bad, they are good. Before "Mystery Science Theatre" started doing it, my friends and I would rent these horrible movies and clown on them all night to much hilarity. Star Crystal was a perennial favorite. Its badness cannot be put into words. It is simply the worst movie you will ever see. The first time you see it you are offended by its flawed scenery, cheesy acting, and overall insulting of your intelligence. But then, the second time you see it you will it totally differently. Star Crystal is much like a deformed dog that first horrifies you, then elicits sympathy...wait a minute...thats what that creature in the movie was!
I vaguely remember this movie from a long time ago. I think it was my senior year in high school when it came on one night real late on The Movie Channel or something. I only remember the cheesy space ships where you could see the animation stand holding up the model and the scenes in the space station that where clearly filmed in an airport or something. All the stupid escalators around and the white interiors. Then the alien showed up and started turning people into a slimy gel substance or something. Then it ended all sweet and gooey with the alien trying to repent for killing the crew and becoming a loving alien with the surviving crew. God, how did they get funding to even write the script for this piece of trash.
Set in 2032, as missions from Earth are being sent to explore Mars. After two groups of astronauts are mysteriously killed following the discovery of strange artifacts on the martian surface, the crew of the SC-37 go in to try and find out what happened. They soon learn what became of their predecessors when a bloodthirsty space monster begins lunching on members of the crew. Will any of them make it back to Earth alive? Pretty poor "alien" rip-off has lots of slime and gore, useless acting, poor editing in the "attack" scenes, and a horrible "Psycho" rip-off score (Man, that was so obnoxious!). Not worth your time.
...because I'm the idiot who rented it for the gang to watch. And it's not as though we didn't know how to appreciate hideous movies, either! We enjoyed mocking movies. But this one was far too depressingly-bad to be mockable. It's one of those films that makes you wonder if evolution made a misstep; perhaps sentience was a big mistake? The only reason I voted on it (1, naturally) and revealed my horrible lack of judgment to the world is to warn off other potential victims. Just say no.
