kz917-1 The movie Space Station 76 managed to suck all the fun out of the 1970s like an airlock would. In looking at the actors cast, one would think oh this should be good! While in reality the movie was just horrific. So many bad clichés, which I get the movie is set in the 1970s, but ugh. Really not necessary. Skip it.

bill-1555 It would have been more fun if everyone died! What a depressing mess. How does this kind of garbage get made? Ugh...children as a plot device is weak story telling. Gay captain and boring characters. All i can ask is why? Whay are they in space? Why do they want to live at all? I remember when science fiction films were fun... I remember 1976 and this has none of the fun of films from that generation. Why again does the captain have to be gay? Is it just the sane old hack about making the hero unmanly? What a huge waste! The ending could have been somewhat satisfying if the filmmakers wanted it to be. They had all the parts and it was setup, but the movie ended as hopelessly as it started. Normally I give Indie films a break, but this was a bunch of unhirable Hollywood types, proving why they are... Unhirable. Truly awful film and a huge waste of my time... Now if you're still dumb enough to buy it and watch it, well you might actually like it? Hope that helps.

TheNew Neandertalien This movie is an ugly proselytism piece, or "a commercial".Tobacco industry proselytes smoking;Pharma industry proselytes anti-depressant, notably the product named "Valium";The Propagandist Cabal proselytes: promiscuity, infidelity, recreational drug use, omnipresence of homosexuality.All this is being proselyted to you, stupid cattle-citizen.Nothing else matter here, even the pair of good actors. The verdict: 1) do not pay for this; 2) watch only for research purposes. The object of research being the collusion of Hollywood with the ideological Propagandist Cabal and the legal narcotics industries that the Propagandist Cabal owns.

bowmanblue I happened to catch the trailer for 'Space Station 76' and couldn't believe that no one had already thought of this type of film already. I grew up in the seventies and eighties and was well into the sci-fi of the day, i.e. with wooden sets, cheesy robots and unfashionable hairstyles. Therefore, when I saw that a film was dedicated to sending up this genre, only in the modern age, I couldn't believe my luck. This film was truly made for me. It looked hilarious.I was wrong. The trailer was hilarious. The film was not. Not because the jokes fell flat or didn't work when they were stretched out into a full-length feature film, but because the film just wasn't really a comedy, as it was presented in the one and half minutes trailer.Yes, the sets are indeed well-designed (i.e. old fashioned seventies incarnations of what the future may look like) and there are a few moments that produce a wry smile from you. However, the film is actually more of a dark drama and – dare I say it – quite depressing.Leaving the kitsch period feel aside, the film is about a space station billions of light years away from Earth. Some of the inhabitants of the station have lived there all their life, others much of their adult life. Either way, they're only one step away from going stir crazy. Therefore, you have many depressed and broken people, all desperately seeking some form of justification for their existences.And there's the problem. I rented this film thinking it was a comedy that based its jokes on the clichés of yesteryear's science fiction and I got quite a dark drama about the misery of human existence at its loneliest.Therefore, I –sort of – didn't enjoy it. But that's not to say that it was a bad thing; I just wanted something different. Just know what you're getting before you sit down to watch it. There are moments of humour, but much of it is very dark and there are places where you won't know whether you should be laughing or crying at the characters' plights. Just make sure that you're in the mood for something a little tragic that's dressed up as a silly seventies sci-fi show.
