mkojder-1 Boy, I have seen a lot of cheesy and bad movies. Some of them made into brilliant set pieces by the MST3K crew. However, I'm not even sure they could save this one. It really stinks. It looked like it was made for 25 dollars in some guys basement.The acting was appallingly bad. The first 20 minutes in the 'cryo-chambers' was laughable - you could see that the walls were made sheets of cloth or something. I love how the cheese-monster also peeled away the plastic that was the glass sealing in the astronauts for their 15 year voyage.Gilligans Island was more realistic than this absolutely awful grade-Z movie.

ottfried 12 people sent out to populate a distant star wake up after hyper-sleep to find themselves yet too weak to prevent an alien life form from breaking into their 12 chambers to devour them, one by one. They can hardly move, only wonder who will be next! And they have an estimated 5 hours between each of the creature's meals. In an attempt to become strong enough they begin to exercise. Yet another woman is abducted. Why are only the women taken? They speculate it's because of moment - that the beast goes after those that react to its presence. they get out of their cages, and have momentary respite in an adjoining room. 4 of 6 women are gone, eaten. They are way off course, the planet they landed on, is nothing like their intended destination. They are of course in serious trouble...Oh, the acting... so devoid of genuine feeling that you need smaller shoes afterwards, the script has no characters, but only functions, the special effects are... well, one has to lower all expectations:When they finally kill the creature and venture outside their battered ship, they find their whole ship surrounded by an impenetrable see-through wall - as if they are in a zoo.They are still being killed, though. Now by little men with pointed heads.Do I offend anybody when I say it begins to feel like one of those arcade games or early computer games, where certain decisions in an action play is left to YOU, the Hero of Subjective POW? Well, it does come to an end. Like in the arcade.Must be a fan movie. But what a lame ending! All aliens killed, and there is the promised land anyway! How come so many B-movies have bad scripts? Because, if they had good scripts, they would attract more investors. But the whole beginning sequence should have grabbed someone - and helped fuel professional editorial of the remaining script. And subsequent more funding. Too bad.7 for brilliant beginning, minus 5 for acting and script, plus 1 for effective night goggle scenes, and 1 for understanding and respecting the bare necessities principle.Go again, Mike.

Vincent Rocca Terrarium is an excellent sci-fi flick done in the tradition of Aliens. The sense of claustrophobia looms as the director puts you in a ziploc bag, waiting and wondering if, and when, the monster/alien will come back to eat you.The movie is chalk full of scary scenes that had my wife jumping and covering her eyes. The filmmakers choice to revel small glimpses of the monster works brilliantly and is very reminiscent of horror from yesteryear.The '70s synthesized soundtrack compliments the movie perfectly. It really gave a sense of the classic Corman sci-fi.If you like Sci-Fi, you will definitely appreciate Terrarium.

dudecar_96 you would swear this movie was made in the late 70s for a million dollar budget. Instead it was made a couple years ago for 25k in some dudes back yard. Kudos to him. I LOVED ITThe captain is way more hilarious than captain t Kirk the aliens look like they were straight from the trekkies 60 universethe ship was so flimsy though, you wonder how it survived the impact, and it didn't even look at that beat up. But these are technical details.I really wonder what kind of colony they would be able to make with only a couple of chicks, but again... detailswhats fun is the fighting with the giant gorilla and the 80s banter between the cosmonauts. go buy it today!
