James O'Ehley Sci-Fi Movie Page As far as zero-budget genre film-making goes, Outerworld isn't too bad. That unfortunately doesn't mean that it is any good though . . . Apr 6, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member brilliant movie ahead of its time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I guess they expected high-waisted "mom-jeans", aviator glasses, 80s hair, and payphones to be back in style in 2074. An enslaved android defects with the information she stole for her bosses. She escapes with a Han Solo-esque character as they try to get to a super-rare abandoned alien ship her bosses hoped to own. Then a crappy love story. Real cheap sci-fi with a decent story, pretty bad acting, and decent action scenes. Upon further reading I've learned it was originally called "Beyond the Rising Moon" and in this version CGI sequences were added years later, replacing many of the original miniatures (boo!). Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, Tracy Davis is a pleasure to look at, but other than that the movie is toy space ships and plywood, transparent weak plot and characters borrowed from more popular movies. Nothing original here... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent effort from an absolute micro budget feature. A direct to video classic from the 80s that doesn't involve masks or killers in the woods..Taken in the context of the time it was made..a good effort. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Holy crap, what a bad movie! One redeeming item: It uses the "green flowing code" on computer screens that later shows up --- in much-refined form --- in the Matrix. That tidbit is about 10 seconds of screen time, so I just saved you more than an hour of watching this dud. You're welcome. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a 80's, Low budget sci-fi flick (and I give them credit for trying). Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
