Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

I happen to have a thing for telefilms and b-movies. I don't know what it is. Velocity Trap is a b-movie that, except for the stereotypical hispanic guy, is well-acted, well-written and comes with some solid CG (for a 6 yr. old b-movie). Olivier Gruner gives his best performance as the bored cop Ray Stokes and Alicia Coppala, in her only movie role, does pretty good herself and Ken Olandt is OK (FOR ONCE). Overall I think if this movie had an A movie budget and cast it could have been a theatrical hit.

Don't get me wrong, this is a bad, bad movie, but there are some redeeming qualities. Funny on purpose is the Carmen montage. Funny by accident is the anti-chemistry between Jorja Fox and Ken Olandt, as well as the prop gun that falls apart during a battle (Gruner carries on like nothing happened).I was able to watch it all the way through. In the category of "scifi movies you've never heard of", that's not too shabby.

This film is bearable but that's about it, similar to a good TV ep of "Space: Above and Beyond". It's a step up from the sci-fi gagger "Escape Velocity", which had even less action and more cliches. FF through all scenes of him with his girl friend, it's banal drivel, and that part isn't even tied up at the end. And forget the plot holes too. -Bob

Velocity Trap, is a better than avrg movie. The affects combined with the character acting, pulled off by virtual unknowns, truly carried the movie. Alicia Coppola, who played Beth Sheffield the navigator, performed an outstanding job! She was tough, funny, and believable. In watching this movie I enjoyed the association between characters more than I did the plot.
