Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

I've seen some stinkers in my time and I have no idea why I watched this, I think assuming it was a recent sci-fi film I couldn't go wrong. How wrong I was! It has the feel that someone made a bet they could make a film in a week with £100 budget and this was the result! All bad films I've seen generally have at least one thing I can say positive but unfortunately I'd struggle with this one. The script is incredibly dire and pointless, it would of made just as much sense as if I was watching a foreign film without subtitles. The acting is wooden but no doubt is due to the fact the script is so bad there wasn't any room to 'act'. Although it has to be said that Sean Patrick Flanery really deserves some kind of bad acting award as the choice of voice (a kind of Jack Bauer husky growl) and the constant wrinkled confused look on his face is annoying to the nth degree.The set design is non existent, more like someone went down the city dump and grabbed a load of old CRT and computer keyboards and stuck them everywhere. The lighting is simply too bright in most cases, if they were to simply turn most of the lights off they'd probably end up with something a lot more sinister and moodier. The CG looks like it was done on a home PC with free software. Some of the stills of the spaceships look okay but as soon as they move...oh dear. Also there is no ambient light in space, everything should be harsh shadows and yet against the pitch black of space the dark side of the spaceships are gray! Green-screen when the 'actors' are superimposed look awful, with blurry halos around everything. Sound was very lackluster, I don't recall anything adding to the ambiance or tension of the scenes.I didn't have the willpower to watch the whole film in one go but no film has ever beat me so I forced myself to finish it. The one redeeming thing about the film is I film privileged that I have now watched the worse film I've every seen. Thank you for that.

The first few seconds of the first scene of this movie will tell you all that you need to know about 'Scavengers'. A close up of an astronauts face as they back away. It is done so horribly, it looked like something that would be found in an early 80's bad sci fi movie.They say the words "scavenge" and all suffix permutations so frequently, that one simply must take a drink of an alcoholic beverage every time they are spoken. You will get drunk quickly though, but that may be one of the only ways you can glean enjoyment from this film.The acting is seriously bad. One might think this is an intentional irony, but I cannot give this movie enough credit for that possibility.The script is even worse. Insulting is likely the best way to describe the script in a single word.The direction... well somebody has to take responsibility for this mess. Whoever directed this is likely to be using a pseudonym. Somebody had to be telling people what to do. Though I think whoever was must have been heavily intoxicated on numerous forms of drugs.I am willing to bet that not a single person in the entire crew has watched this entire movie, and the only reason why I did was because I could not take my eyes away from the train wreck unraveling before me.Now, there is redemption to this movie, but you have to be the type of person who enjoys an unhealthy dose of schadenfreude. Taking joy from the failure of others. If you are that sort of person, then you will howl with laughter as you roll your eyes and smack yourself in the head over how utterly stupid this movie is.And for that reason, I predict a minor cult following for this movie. I know I had to alert my friends who enjoy such insipid fare as "Lake Placid" that they had to watch scavengers with me since they inflicted lake placid upon me. Mutual torture is only fair.TL;DR: This is a truly bad movie in nearly every way. The only thing good about it, is cruelly laughing at the cast whose careers have sunk to the point of being included in this utter turd of cinematic suicide.

I adore B grade Sifi.. The dial turns so far into the bad it swings into awesome !!! Seriously This film encourages the imagination to be absorbed within the situation of the characters. I imagine how cold and empty space could be and how their piloting only a steal can with jets, I love their sense of vulnerability and isolation, and the awesome space scenes. Its as hard edged as Eve online and as cold as the Movie 'Moon'. Ruthless as Enders game. I relate to the characters and felt the gravity in their roles. Most scenes are fantastic with a serious feel of the moment; but made up of everyday items sprayed black. Their is a real art to make such a great sifi under such a small budget what a great discipline. Great quotes by Jeckal I must remember.I'm looking forward to the next movie Scavengers II.Also, What a twist, its too bad most critics could not watch or think that far... what will be the consequences??? Open your mind guys !!!

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
