Dark Star Reviews

dark star is by people behind halloween and aliens...but its a comedy. should be cool right? well...

1974 sci-fi, theres some amazing works to look at. this film isn't one of them. even by the current standard of the time this is slow and dis-interesting.

we're told over and over that this is a comedy...says it right on the box...but there is absolutely nothing funny in the film. its clear carpenter and co thought they could be funny but instead they just force us to sit through situations that are nonsense. an intelligent bomb that wants to detonate but has to figure out if it exists....haha zzzzz.

this film would have been better if they had intended it to be serious...hell these guys clearly should've done what they knew and made a horror flick out of it. as it is, a comedy without laughs, its just a drag.

mind you, i sat through it. its not horrible...just not good. if i had nothing better to do and nothing better to watch...maybe i'd watch it again. in all likelihood i will never again watch this.
