Best movie of this year hands down!

Am I Missing Something?

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This film is absolutely horrible. There's so much wrong with it that I don't even know where to start.The sets look like someone's backyard, the ship's bridge is probably someone's basement and the CGI looks worse than 1980s video games. Unwatchable. The story consists of several episodes taken from old Star Trek episodes (I'm still amazed that no one has sued their asses yet).Seriously - why do you make a film when you don't have enough money to pay for anything? Actors, sets, CGI, pretty much everything? What drove you to do something like that? Your overblown ego? This film is beyond bad. Even a vote of 1/10 is too much for this pile of trash. Avoid it.

I'm not even going to dignify this film with a "1". This is one of the few times when I wish the IMDb page was equipped with negative numbers. I've inflicted some pretty bad films on myself over the years and most of these have been bad horror films. For some reason, I'm more forgiving of a bad horror film than I am a bad sci-fi. I love the genre too much to sit thru a bad sci-fi but OH MY GOD did I ever choose a stinker this time!! This steaming pile even made the worse "made for SyFy Channel" productions look GOOD!There's not too much good can be said about Star Quest other than the DVD box has nice cover art. I think that's where whatever budget the makers of this drek had at their disposal put it all because it certainly didn't go into the making of the film. There was no acting, no story, no directing, no motivation, no momentum, no humor (oh they tried a couple of times...), no drama, no excitement, no heart, no quality, no guts... so basically there's no reason to watch this... none at all.I'll almost give some semi-points for the CGI views of the ship and space although even Babylon 5 - using 15 year less advanced computers and software - got smoother motion from their computer models. I won't grant that (semi)point because everything else was just so damn bad.The set decoration looked like cast-off store displays from a department store - for EVERYTHING. Although the "Odyssey" looked to be a starship about the size of Illinois, the sets themselves were so damn cramped it looked as if the "actors" had to avoid running into the camera every time they moved... and there were only 6 or 7 people aboard the ^%$^$ thing! Oh and speaking of the people: We had the "Uhuru"-ish communications officer (who couldn't act), the "Sulu"-ish navigator (who couldn't act), the ship's doctor who looked as if she'd just started college (at least she didn't have a Southern accent but still couldn't act!), the ship's engineer (named "Troy"... ahem! who, not too surprisingly, had a Scottish accent, but also couldn't act), some idiotic cross between a Klingon and a Borg - two of them, actually - both of whom seemed to be covered in old computer parts and cellphone carcasses as some sort of "cybernetic modifications" and modifications or not, neither of *these* guys could act! Finally, our High School Football Hero playing the great Captain. Do I need to say that he couldn't act, either? Honestly, though, I would have been willing to overlook the crappy SFX, crappy set design, crappy dialog, crappy story, etc. if there had actually have been any decent acting but alas, there was none of that to be found here. The entire production tanked. BAD.In the closing credits there was actually an on screen "thanks" to Gene Roddenberry who should, in all rights, rise from the grave just to strangle everyone associated with this abomination for even mentioning his name.Do I recommend it? NO. Not even for a laugh.10/100

I believe the final words of the movie said it all: Lee(our Sulu friend) "I didn't think it could get any worse"... Captain:"It just did".... I literally had to take a crap during this movie and I wish I had stayed in the bathroom!Watch this movie if you want to rid yourself of 115 min of your life...The best for me though was when the ship was apparently hit by some cosmic force while speeding through the universe at the speed of light, a Klingon type who was put in jail for destroying a washer, which seems to be a closet painted green, bangs around the walls as if there really was some type of explosion. He failed miserably.... As did the acting in the whole movie but this guy randomly shows up screaming and banging against the walls of a hallway. You must see this to believe it.

We call movies like this 'Shelf-Worthy' as we taken them from the DVD player, place them on a shelf far away from our good-to-watch DVDs and when Christmas comes around, we give them to our neighbours up and down the street by slipping them (anonymously) into their mailboxes late at night while dressed in our best 'night mission clothing.' The movies aren't wrapped, there's no 'To:' tag on them and no 'From:' tag on them Shelf-worthy to the Nth degree was this one. Never did finish watching it.We've given out a dozen movies in the 2 years we've been "shelving" the bad ones. Never had a complaint from a neighbor and never got one returned to us :)Don't believe me? Check your mailbox ... Seriously!
