Movie Reviews

IGN DVD - 8/10 by R. L. ShafferAn enjoyably inventive low-budget B-movie filled with action and interesting characters.
IGN DVD - 8/10 by R.L. ShafferBattle Beyond the Stars might not rank up there with Star Wars, but it certainly tries hard, and it's an admirable experience filled with B-movie awesomeness, and plenty of nostalgia.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayBattle Beyond The Stars has a charm that belies its low budget and opportunistic origins.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 7/10 by Steve CrumDated low budget rip-off of "Star Wars" has interesting cast.
Turner Classic Movies Online - 6/10 by Sean AxmakerJohn Sayles manages to work some offbeat science-fiction ideas around the edges of an otherwise derivative plot...
The New York Times - 6/10 by John CorryThere is a lot of stirring music on the soundtrack, and a fair amount of amusement in the audience. The special effects aren't bad, either.
Entertainment Weekly - 4/10 by Doug BrodIt’s hard not to admire a movie featuring a spaceship with D-cups and a title that has the nerve to one-up Star Wars — but if Lucas’ film is PlayStation 2, this one is hopscotch.
User Review - 10/10 by Darren JWhat starts out as a simple low budget Seven Samurai meets Star Wars movie becomes, through numerous random elements a fantastic B movie which beats out most sci-fi fare offered in the last 27 years. John Sayles' screenplay takes a basic sci-fi premise and through an exploration of attitudes to death creates something richer and deeper. James Horners music which is still one of my favorite themes, elevates the film to almost A list. Awesome ships bursting with personality (and boobs in the case of Nell) designed by James Cameron, which have been featured as stock footage in numerous other movies. And last but not least the cast, all give 100% even if some fail to inspire like Darlanne Fluegel as the love interest. Outstanding performances by George Peppard, bringing a deeper soulful performance to Space Cowboy, Robert Vaughan as the tormented mercenary, John Saxon chewing every piece of scenery in sight as Sador, a man fighting death at the expense of the universe around him and Richard Thomas bringing his John Boy Walton innocence to the main character. I cannot rate this movie highly enough.
User Review - 10/10 by James H:fresh: :cool:[font=Comic Sans MS] This film is a guilty pleasure form 1980. For those of you that don't know it's another si-fi remake of "The Seven Samuri." Richard Thomas (Shad), rounds up some fighters to defend his home world, that carelessly gave up their wepons or their knowlge of how to use them. It's called, "gun control." Once again another planet, where it doesn't work. George Peppard, Robert Vaugan, and Sybil Danning are a few of the main fighters, that are recruited. Sybil Danning is in this film as "eye candy" but they gave her some lines anyway. I remember when they showed this on T.V. NBC censors edited out entire sections with her in them because of her coustume and when they couldn't edit, they would blurr her body. This is is a Roger Corman production so the special effects are not even good for, circa 1980. They're a step above "Dr. Who" and a few steps below "Star Wars A New Hope". The fact that this film looks as good as it does is due to the work of, James Cameron. Some work from his early days. He served as the films effects camera man, art director, and model builder. The score was composed by, James Horner. If you listen close, you can hear music that sounds alot like his work from "Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan." He would later go on to score "ALIENS" and "TITANIC". John Saxon (Blood Beach, Enter the Dragon,) is, Sador. He has some great lines here, lot of great "diabolical banter" worthy of the seirals from the 30's and 40's. As much as I love this film I have to admit, it's cheese, but it's good cheese. Don't to forget to check out the rack on the ship that Richard Thomas flies, the first ship ever with breasts? and look for a young Julia Duffy.[/font]
User Review - 10/10 by Mathew IA classic space epic with a surprising cast of famous faces. Takes The Magnificent Seven into space with heavy leanings on BSG and Star Wars. Sit back and enjoy a host of quirky aliens, evil villians and heroic characters in a space western to top all space westerns.
