Dark Space Trailers

College friends Devin, Jack, Shelly, Kristy, Shaun, and Flower rent a spacecraft to autopilot them to Centauri Five for a holiday break. Impatient over the rental agency restricting the ship’s speed to 10x, Devin and the others convince Shaun to remove the craft’s constrictor device. Doing so damages the computer’s automated systems, as well as the ability to send a distress beacon, causing the six friends to crash land on an uncharted alien planet.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Okay, what's up with the low ratings? I was browsing and usually skip movies with low ratings but took a chance because of the description. I just found it more and more charming. I was totally drawn in as things progressed, partly because of the aura and body language of the actors - I believed them! Special effects were more than good enough for what I need. The ending was not overly explained to us which I loved - it was assumed that we the audience understood what was going on. It dawned on me that often the biggest Hollywood sci-fi movies are rife with formula and sickening self-consciousness albeit impressive special effects. I learned a valuable lesson today - that some lesser known and lesser rated movies could end up being the best you ever saw - beautiful, heartfelt and unforgettable!

I love sci-fi, so I am a bit biased in this genre. The story is OK. It's just too predictable. Another poorly scripted movie with heavy VFX; where the dialogue is unrealistic, the personas of the crew are unrealistic, and the actions they take are unrealistic. Poor choices all around. It's just another sci-fi movie on the shelf. I knew everything that was going to happen almost 4-5 minutes before it happened. How did I know a girl was gonna survive to the end and be the heroine? Because the girl always survives. Yawn. Only 1 person gets seriously injured in the crash. Poor choice. The entire party (save for the tech guy and the injured) leave the ship? Um... sorry. No way. The ship is the most important asset. If it's an unknown world, chances are... you guessed it... there's nothing out there worth searching for but food and water. Do they go hunting or collecting resources? lol You guessed it again. No, they go swimming. Wait, you mean to tell me that despite all the survival shows on TV, they missed that? Um, we have crocs on Earth. WTF is in the water dumb@$$. Nobody filled a canteen. They went swimming. Wow. When the tech guy leaves the ship at night, and just stands there waiting for the aliens. Laughable. No f***ing way. I wouldn't even stand outside my tent in Yellowstone with creatures I know exist (bears, wolves) let alone an alien world! And when the aliens are seen zipping by at the speed of blurred vision. It's amazing that the tech guy has all the time in the world to outrun the alien carrying a wounded friend. Wow. Really poor choices. Too many inconsistencies. I will say though... that there were a few moments where I did laugh out loud. Not to the credit of the movie's direction, but because the script was so bad... I couldn't help but think. No one in the world talks this way. I mean. These guys are drinking and smoking on the ship. Party animals, and then when it's time for conversation... the atmosphere feels so dry it's hard to believe that any of these characters are actually likable. They all just talk about sex, but you SEE NOTHING. LOL!!! As in any movie though, if you stimulated a response (my review here)... you've won. I watched the entire movie, so Kudos to the film for getting the job done. I was just left unfulfilled. We don't need more sci-fi movies. We need better sci-fi movies. I own Humanity's End by the way. I love my sci-fi. On your next go-around, please correct these mistakes. Freegin contact me. I'll proof the script. Let's get the next movie done right!

First off, you see a bunch of sci-fi channel films that are far worse. This movie is great to watch on netflix, but i would never buy the DVD. The acting is b-class, not terrible but seems forced rather than authentic emotion. The weapons are clearly just painted "nerf" weapons. one really strong aspect was the costume design. Who ever was in charge my hat is off to you. Really well done, they were innovative and looked like nothing i have seen in these low budget sci-fi films. The look of this movie is of a far higher caliber than it seems you can do with a low budget. Storyline note: your leg isn't gonna get infected in a few hours. I would have loved to see this movie with a higher budget for the actors, other than them it was great.

A fun "Campy" low budget B sci-fi flick reminiscent of classic B sci-fi movies appealing to youth such as the original "Blob" and other films of the 50's-70's Young people will find this fun because it's fun watching other young people do dumb things and the foreshadowing is within reach of a teen.This is a better movie than many "A" Studio sci-fi flicks and "bad science" is forgivable in B movies if they're fun.Considering the low budget the effects were well done... Good direction, adequate acting. Refreshingly politically INcorrect. Even more refreshing are people who are upset by this aspect of the movie. har har har.
