Jan 26, 2012 This is a very interesting film. Though dated (it's a scifi film from 1979 what would you expect) it does have all the elements that fans of the era will enjoy. The model space ships are fab and fun, the story is intelligent and engaging and the film has elements of a thriller/horror film on top of the standard scifi storyline. Like any good science fiction story/film, in my mind at least, this film has you leaving the theatre with plenty of questions. Whether it was poor filmmaking, something lost in translation or deliberate, the film doesn't give you all the answers you might be looking for. In fact, I think it's a combination of all three but with the later making up the most of it as even the main character Pirx ends the film asking questions and being unsure about the events that had taken place previously in the film. Worth checking out if you are a fan of classic science fiction films. If you are expecting great FX and space battles, look elsewhere. Test Pilot Pirx is intellectual and engaging first and foremost but gives enough corny scifi elements to satisfy.

Music that fits the scenes very well and sound at times like proto versions of both US industrial music (Ministry and friends) and early UK jungle. Before his time, Arvo Pärt.

See more Nov 9, 2010 Polish sci-fi: mustaches in space. Worth seeing for the space disco scene and vintage special effects but otherwise feels like a budget Star Trek episode.
