That was an excellent one.

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Dreadfully Boring

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a fairly low-budget sci-fi movie with nothing original to show, and it's not trying to be funny (which could potentially make it more entertaining), so there's only so much you can expect. 7/10 would be the maximum a movie of this kind could get.With that in mind, it's actually not too bad in general. There's just one problem.If you take all the characteristics of badly written villains from the 80s and put them together, you get Captain Jekel. His lines are retarded and ridiculous, and so is his behaviour. That, combined with crappy acting, makes this character a disaster and would be bad even for a toilet cleaner, never mind somebody who's supposed to be a captain of a space ship. Every second of the movie that this character is on screen is extremely annoying. If a person like that was really a captain, his ship would never even take off.That said, the rest of the movie is pretty decent. Acting for the other ship's crew is fine. Jekyl's crew's acting is mediocre, but not terrible. The CGI isn't great (looks more like from a game than a movie), but low-budget is low-budget. I'm not one of the people who watch movies for special effects, so I don't mind this at all, but if you're one of those, you'll probably complain. The plot's not original or anything, but I've seen worse.It's not a great movie, but it's not terrible either. Just try to get distracted with something else whenever you see Captain Jekel.

Make a note everybody, a 1* review on IMDb = "Awful." For this movie a new level of stars is required, I suggest - 1 minus star for every bad thing about the movie... -* Script -Unintelligible, yet trying so hard to be profound, at least that is my guess at what this mess is trying to be. -* Acting - Hard to tell if there was any really except for the "Star" who was giving a tour de force display of "Overacting, and how to look really really stupid, while sounding really really intoxicated." -* Directing - Well, I suppose someone was telling them what to do, but it's very hard to be sure on the evidence presented. -* Visual effects - Yes there were some, but none worthy of positive mention -* Sound effects - Someone mentioned already "Machine guns in space!" But let me also mention hearing far off explosions in a vacuum!-* Physics - I suppose with all the other drivel, I shouldn't expect much, but spaceships exhibiting ballistic motion? Yes, a lot of other "Sci-fi" movies don't get it right either, but that's no excuse! I'm sure the was more to moan about, but frankly I could only stomach 29.03 minutes of this junk. Also minus 6 stars is enough to get the message across.PS. Any positive reviews must be by those who were involved in this monster of a movie, or possibly those on strong medication... Hmm probably both!

Okies we have a bunch of TV actors in a low budget Sci-Fi, the acting is OK apart from the bad Captain who whispers and over acts his way through the movie.The ships are TV movie standard but the special effects such as weapons and fire are well lame. If you loose track of what ship you are in its easy to tell, the bad ship everything has been painted black and the good ship its all shiny. What happened to the keyboards in the over acting Captains ship, looks like they are covered in mud? The computer screens in the ships show random patterns and/or nonsense.When one of the crew members explodes its more amusing than i'm sure they wanted it to be and then the crew don't seem that bothered either stood there covered in his blood and carry on as nothing had happened and i guess their running water on board the ship is not running any more, maybe damaged? as the Doctor remains covered in blood for quite a while after the crew member exploded.The movie lacks any suspense, they tried to make some with one of the women trying to reach a switch when all she had to do was just move a little closer and reach it, it had all the ingredients, the camera shots flicking back n forth to other worried crew members, the running out of time speech and the dramatic music, but the reaching scene won't be listed in any Most Dramatic Scenes in Movie History lists.I am reviewing the movie as i watch it and i am sad to say the movie has not kept me interested enough to continue with it, i got bored at about 50 minutes and gave up. I feel i am wasting time watching it and could be watching another much better movie.I am sure this movie could be an OK TV movie but as it is its just boring.

Still not exactly a soap. Not much better than one though. The German title "Space Soldiers" also promises something that sound more like an action movie than it is. But that is not the problem with Scavengers at hand here. The problem is, that while it's cute (and "dark"), it fails to impress on the jokes side. It tries hard to be funny and the actors are probably not as bad as they seem in this movie.Unfortunately the timing is off and S.P. Flanery might try to outdo Steven Seagal with his performance here (alright it's not that bad. But still worse than anything else I've seen him do and I know he can act). Other than that you shouldn't be too fixed on the production values (because there are none), especially the cheap looking ... everything in it. Still they try their best to hide those things with fog/smoke inside a space ship(?). Yep it's that bad. If you still have a heart of Gold and can't be mad at the somewhat likable characters and some funny ideas (Twelve/Thirteen), you might like this more than you should. Until the end after end comes along ... maybe
