Summary: Nice little suprise
Review: A friend put this on for me the other night and the minute I heard the words "Dennis Hopper" and "low budget sci fi" I groaned with anticipated discomfort, but was pleasantly suprised by Space Truckers' contents. While far from profound, the film's acceptable Odyssy-esque story takes second chair to a wacked-out, 100% convincing vision of the future and the community of characters who inhabit the portions of it that the film concerns itself with, some of which was quite memorable;A pirate thug named "Scummy", square zero-g pigs, a bar/diner set in a revolving hub ala 2001 to simulate gravity, self-defense mechanisms with apparent senses of humor, and an uproarious, innappropriately hilarious death machine monster that is right out of Red Dwarf. The film has an irreverent view about it's idiom, manages some effective sex appeal amidst the laughs, and has a kind of upbeat infectiveness that might be tied into the comic book/cartoonishly bright color palette that manages to seep into almost every shot. And in the end what impressed me the most about Space Trucker was that, like the great satires that have come before it who also fashion their own self-contained universes where our laws of physics might not necessarily apply [The Simpson's and Shakes the Clown coming to mind immediately], the filmmakers wisely kept within the framework of the genre they were creating for -- schlocky modestly budgeted sci fi -- and by not bothering to aim any higher produced one of the most entertaining films I have sat through in months. Highly recommended, and destined for some sort of "cult" status when it is rediscovered.

Summary: this movie sucks but it's kinda fun
Review: Beware if you are looking for a decent sci-fi movie to satisfy your celestial loincloth of a meaningful film, but if you liked "Ice Pirates" from the 80's, and enjoy Star Trek (any new series), there's a chance you will find yourself strangely thinking about it later and recalling a funny scene. The pigs shaped liked boxes were the highlight for me.

Summary: good flick but watch out for bad discs
Review: For its genre this movie is a lot of fun. Dennis Hopper also kicks up the quality a notch. My big complaint is that when I first rented it the dvd would actually freeze if you either tried to view the "making of" segment or play the trivia game. So I waited months before going out and buying a copy. My copy was even worse. The story boards would pop up without ever being set (and I couldn't get rid of them). Again it froze if I tried to play the trivia game. And when I played the "making of segement the audio would skip and the video would freeze up after showing about five skittery frames. What a mess. But I loved the movie itself. Too bad I have to return it. Hope you have better luck.

Summary: This is a fun movie says me, a harsh critic
Review: Hey the reviews below are irrelevent. I should know. I say a lot of the same thing about most movies I was in this genre, but his movie is effective if you don't automatically assume that it is silly. In fact, I found the robot killing machine quite creepy and the light humor purposeful. It is not supposed to be an all out serious movie so don't expect one. Ahhh, what am I saying. What do you care anyway?

Summary: Too campy, too lame, too boring, and two stars
Review: Hopper, Dorrif, "Norm" hey, they are all great actors, but they must have been paying off bills when doing this film. The first five minutes of this film are the only five minutes worth watching, it builds suspense but doesnt deliver. The sets are corny, the costumes are lame, and the writing subpar. The only other thing remotely interesting is the filmakers view of trucking lines in the future, with all of the flashy neon signs and advertisements, it will probably be very acurate when we eventually get interstellar highways.

Summary: Maybe you have to be a trucker...
Review: I am a space movie enthusiast. My friend Ian will pay dearly for recommending this one! Don't get me wrong, they have some original ideas... my favorite scene actually had me laughing out loud when the Charles Dance (the doctor from Alien 3) tries to get it on with Debi Mazar but has "technical" difficulties. Here an there they made some efforts to remind you that you were in space, but I wouldn't call it a space movie. Maybe I just think Dennis Hopper is annoying. Charles Dance should have been used more, he did well with what they gave him!
