A worst scifi movie ever

[contracommando]

Was that the He-Man movie? The one with Dolph Lundgreen- a.k.a. Drago.

 

[ascan1984]

Yes I think so. I remeberthe name Dulf so i assume so. What do you think. Bad or good.

 

[contracommando]

Definitely bad……but, I’ll give it some slack considering how little I remember about it. Something about a cylindrical piano or something-gives people access to another dimension?

Spaceballs was HILARIOUS!<br /><br /><br />Blazing Saddles sucked though, Mel Brook's humor is too thick sometimes, would only appeal to apes. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

My opnion of the worst sci-fi movie ever has got to be any sci-fi movie that is remade from a older movie or TV show. Lost in space is a classic example, as is the Dune 2000 and let us all weep if they remake Tron.

 

[contracommando]

Haven’t seen the movie, but liked the book.

 

[vogon13]

Still, the vogon portrayals were accurate and flattering.<br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

I wound up being late for so many classes in favor of watching it. <br /><br />Seems like there was one movie called "Big Bad Mama" that they took to a higher level of enjoyment than could have been possible if the movie just stood alone on it's own. It had me laughing without a care in the world when I saw it. <br /><br />Ah. 'Twas a much lighter time on the soul.<br /><br />Tom Servo - a loquacious and admirable crew member, to be sure. Nothing quite like a gumball machine to fill in the imagination of dialog.<br /><br />*Travels Backwards Into A Blissful State Of Fond Recollections*

Battlefield Earth was really, really bad, for so many reasons.<br /><br />First off, in the book the aliens believed that humans had long since become extinct, and have been extinct for a thousand years. In the movie, the humans have been slaves for a thousand years, so it really is ridiculous when Travolta is amazed that they can be taught anything, or that he thinks they like raw rats. Also, in the book the guns and airplanes in storage under the mountain are as useless as they were in the three hour war a thousand years ago when the aliens first arrived and destroyed what they thought was all life on Earth. Also, in the book it goes into much more detail about exactly how the aliens really hate each other and don't trust each other and are screwing each other over whenever they can. In the begining, the Travolta character isn't busted for doing someone's neice, as if that hasn't been overused to death in every other movie that should never have been made! He is being screwed over because he is too good at his job and has alienated every alien on Earth (wah wah wah) To be honest, though, I just had to stop reading the book half way through because it just became too ridiculous (canibal mutant Rhodesians that worked secretly for one branch of the aliens so the rest didn't know about them, an impromptu peace conference of all alien races just happens to crop up on Earth, etc.).<br /><br />Aside from the stupid deviations from the book (let's face it, who's really going to read a 1500 page book?) the director used every slick gimmick you would use to get a first year community college film teacher to passionately moan "make me a complete woman." Slow motion and slanted camera angles that would have made the TV Batman director puke!<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, I have seen Plan 9 From Outer Space and it is just plain bad, it isn't "so bad it is funny" it is just bad. Still, Ed Wood didn't have the defense budget of North Korea to make his movie like they did for Battlefie

Not trying to bait or vex, but Star Trek VI was the first Star Trek movie I got to see on my new HD tv and I enjoyed the snot out of it.<br /><br />And I concur with most of your criticisms, but the movie just looked so darn good in HD.<br /><br />{I have noticed stuff I hate, like hockey, is tolerable in HD}<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

Any movie with a sword in it or some battle scene where bad guys can't shoot straight despite advanced technology. They turn a sci-fi into cowboys in space or some silly fairy tale.<br /><br />There's only about 10 trues science fiction movies ever made. The rest can be good movies but are usually all fiction and no science.

 

[votefornimitz]

That was a direct attack against Star Wars...<br />I resent that.... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <span style="color:#993366">In the event of a full scale nuclear war or NEO impact event, there are two categories of underground shelters available to the public, distinguished by depth underground: bunkers and graves...</span> </div>

 

[gsuschrist]

In Star Wars there's both swords AND bent-barrel carnival guns used. <br /><br />Star Wars may be a good movie for some (each to their own) but 'science' fiction? <br />

 

[ascan1984]

It is not a sci fi film but it can be classed as a damm freaky as it has Prince(or what ever he calls himself nowdays) in it. It is cheeziest movie i have ever seen and you just go through it going omg what the hell. The movie is purple rain.

 

[gsuschrist]

There is an irony in movies from Star Wars to Lord of the Rings to 'whatever'.<br /><br />Don't we live in a democracy? I thought we had a revolution in the 18th century to GET RID OF hereditary rule. Yet in movie after movie the 'good guy' is the fellow who tries to re-establish the 'legitimate king, prince, princess, etc to power and place of privilege and the hero fights against the person or group who said 'screw you, Mr.silver spoon prince' and seized power. <br /><br /> 'Good guys' make it their quest to return 'legitimate' autocatic dictators to power.<br /><br />So much for freedom and democracy.

 

[nova_explored]

i gotta say, after reading all these posts, i really want to watch these movies all over again. I love bad sci-fi. its so fun.<br /><br />but worst one for me...all of the star trek TNG's. The story and the characters just went out the window. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

John Carpenter's "Ghosts of Mars"

 

[arrgh]

I would second "Ghosts of Mars". But I've seen "I Come in Peace." Oh..and "Hackers"..."Lawnmower Man" (either 1 or 2), "Who Made Who," oh I could probably go on a bit. Lots of baaaaad sci-fi out there.<br /><br />
