An old-fashioned space hero springs into action when an old enemy returns.

Guardian

In the end there is something rather depressing about a film willing itself to be so crappy.

The kind of quirky labour of love I feel guilty for bashing.

Rated: 1/5

The cheerfully weird plot and hilariously bad acting are all part of the film's self mockery, which betrays a love for the genre's cheesy roots.

Instead of the clever retro sci-fi parody it desperately wants to be, the attempts to poke fun at the tiny budget only reveal a feeble lack of imagination.

This kind of thing has been done before and it's been done better, too.

Dull and dreary despite DeVison's enthusiasm, take heart in remembering the chances of catching Captain Eager on a big screen are nil.

A spoof about a washed up Dan dare should be lots of fun...but after 5 mins this runs out of steam, and there's nothing else to this.

An interesting attempt to make a stylish B-movie with a real Dan-dare feel to it. The only thing that initially attracted me to this was the cast, who I've enjoyed in everything I've seen them do. I felt this was very cleaver and well done, and at first quite amusing. This wore off quite quickly and it became apparent this would work really well as a sketch on a comedy show, but doesn't stand well in a 90min film. The 'behind the scenes' documentary however was very interesting and funny, shame you had to watch the film to accompany it.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

This is a bizarre and silly movie, full of kitsch and at times quite pathetic. Not for the serious of heart. Also has quite a few themes along the lines of age vs. technological development. Just wondering what kind of spaced out dust these people might have come into contact with... Definitely a cult flick if ever there was one.. intentionally B! So beware :)
