what I never understood about star trek is why the ships had turbolifts or doors - if I was in star trek i'd be transporting myself from the fridge back to the couch

George uses the warp core to repolarize the holodeck emitters, causing the deflector grid to phase into an alternate continuum. Spot eats a pizza.

Space Quest, the final frontier of bad films. I wouldn't even consider this a "B" movie, it'd be a "C" movie for crap. The acting is horrible and the Captain Tanner looks like an emotionless action figure. I mean of all the science fiction films this one has stars that MOVE with the ship, even though they're billions of light years away this gives the illusion that it's snowing in space. Also the ship lags like hell whoever did the CGI doesn't know how to RENDER properly. The "cyborgs" in this look like they just took a few computer parts and slapped it on their bodies. The fight scenes look like a rock'em sock'em robots match. I don't get how in the future a "hyperdrive" can be broken due to a modern washer... though I admit the bridge of the ship looks pretty decent. The intercoms sound like they're talking out of a toilet. I understand this is a low budget indie film that got distribution but it doesn't justify the fact that it sucks. If you pay money to see this or not it is a waist of 90 minutes of your life regardless....

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This is the second straight movie where I've thought "so bad it's good." However, this one was just bad.

What was the plot? They left this movie in a cliffhanger as if anyone will force themselves to watch the sequel.

The music didn't match the movie at all. The chemistry of the cast was not there. There was no final battle to speak of.

The CGI was about what you'd expect from a TV show made in the 1990's.

The thing that kills me about this is that Blockbuster called it a "Hot new release." Please.

With "plot" this bad, you need clever writing and chemistry between the cast members to make up for it. No such luck in this one.

thanks for the spoiler alert, I was worried about getting the ending spoiled :corsair:

Yep, and it allowed him to further empathize with certain borg in later seasons (a good thing) and then go Rambo and Ahab on them in First Contact (a bad thing).

it was a code word for a lot of things, including cancer, abortions, vd, and anything else embarrassing to die of of be sent to the hospital for. when a young girl from a prominent family stays out of high school for six months because of "mononucleosis", it was usually code for "got pregnant, is quietly having the baby and giving it up for adoption"

modern health euphemisms for when a celebrity or athlete goes to a hospital are "exhaustion" or "dehydration" or (my favorite) "flu-like symptoms"

holy christ I never thought about that mono thing before but I bet it's totally right

Instead of having an infirmary, why not just program the transporter to rejigger everyone's atoms into a perfectly healthy state every time they use it.

Why can't they use it to make unlimited copies of Data to use as away teams in hazardous locations.

If there's an incoming photon torpedo why don't they transport a solid block of something into its path.

etc

what I want to know is why they don't just keep backup copies of everybody in the transport buffers

also how come transporters aren't weaponized, and why aren't the shields on a computer program that automatically raises them in response to detected energy surges?

the chronicles of riddick was two and a half movie ideas stitched poorly together

one movie was literally "like pitch black but the opposite"

one movie was "hey, that warhammer stuff sure is neat"

the half movie was "vin diesel wants to be a superhero rather than just a cool antihero"

seriously, how could a movie as ballin' as pitch black turn into the Chronicles of Riddick :(

that show was terrible on every account but i feel like it probably pioneered some new sci-fi ideas and also a bunch of fetishes too

I also thought their interactions with Earth were pretty lol, as was the notion that they kind of destroyed the entire universe
