| User ReviewLarry YNot a bad movie, really. Not a whole lot happened for atleast the first half, and at times it got quite confusing. You can also really tell it's a low-budget film. But to me, it is the little things that make up for this, such as the dark, post-apocalyptic atmosphere, the very cool female killer in the black costume, whom for whatever reason was only shown in slow motion, Malcolm McDowell as a drunken captain, the romantic dancing scene at the end, and of course the phrase "Mayday, baby, mayday!" (As cheesy as it was it made me laugh quite a bit - You'd have to see it to understand why, but it has something to do with a baby... navigating the ship.) I liked the ending, which I didn't understand one bit, but I think for this is leaves on a mysterious note. I think I can get some clarity with another viewing one day, though... |
| User ReviewWes SThin plot, slow pace, and a stretched-out ending. McDowell feels out of place here. Silly elements like the baby are pretty outrageous, The thrills are about as suspenseful as a pencil falling off a table. |
