Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is If you are going to watch one Alien homage, then I would recommend Galaxy of Terror. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Some ripe performances and a thinly developed script kill this, but then again, where else can you find such an eclectic cast? Rated: 2/4 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Creature designs and copious amounts of goo look good (James Cameron served as a production designer), but they're unable to enhance a story this poorly arranged. Rated: 2/10 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review TV Guide A rip-off of Alien, this Roger Corman production has plenty of gore and a mindless storyline. Rated: 1/4 Oct 21, 2014 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It's space trash but, I guess, you got to hand it to Corman for knowing how to make a film on a shoestring budget that turns a profit. Rated: C+ Nov 18, 2010 Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet Good, dumb, gory fun. And the blu-ray is pretty amazing. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Nick O Corman monster sci-fi schlocker! It ain’t Alien…but does it really need to be? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Rich C solid film. A good watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Todd M Y'all remember Alien (1979)? This is if that film had 10% of the budget and writers with the minds of uncreative idiots who think that plagiarism laws don't apply to them. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review nick s This movie had some decent production value. The ship consoles looked good, the acting was passable. But boy did it feel like an Alien knockoff. I didn't bother watching the alien-molests-woman scene, but even that's a copied idea. Totally bereft of originality. I was really hoping Erin had racked up a good sci fi flick before leaving this earth, but no such luck. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Sebastian L Fantastic production design and committed performances carry Galaxy of Terror further than its budget, but a far too vague threat keeps you from getting properly invested in the plot. When the ending descends even more into vagueness the rest of your patience evaporates quickly. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/24 Full Review Jay H There are two kinds of people: those who like Roger Corman movies, and those who don't. I don't. This one is especially bad; it makes no sense whatsoever. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
