AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Michael Ledo The credits roll in neon green with constant reminders this is a Charles Band film, so you know its gotta be good. It seems some claymation ETs left behind a weapon that is more of a fire blaster than say a laser blaster. It fits on the right arm and blasts things setting them on fire, eat your heart out Bruce Campbell. Billy Duncan (Kim Milford) stumbles upon it in the desert and learns to master it, as it takes over him.The film is campy and cheesy, but fails to be entertaining in that aspect. This is Eddie Deezen's first acting credit.Guide: No f-bombs. Near sex. Near nudity.
O2D The really bad thing about this movie is the amount of time wasting filler.More than half of this is just people walking or driving with no dialogue or action. The set up is great.A weird looking alien in a Star Trek uniform is stumbling through the desert with a giant laser gun.A space ships flies in and two E.T. style aliens get out with a very small gun.They turn the guy into dust and leave.But the guy's giant laser gun and weird necklace survive somehow.Then they spend way too much time trying to get us to feel sympathy for the main character.He's a rich kid with a hot girlfriend but his mommy doesn't have time for him.The cops hassle him and the other kids make fun of him so he goes to the desert and finds the laser gun and starts blowing up stuff.Then we see that the aliens can see he found the gun and they know they have to come back and stop him.But it's not even the aliens that were there, it was their superior.So they left cameras there and left that laser and only their superior can watch the cameras?It doesn't make any sense and they replay the entire scene of the kid finding gun.This could have been a great short but it's a not so great full length.
Pokedom IHE references for the win! Anyways, the movie sucks. Jokes aside, it's terrible. It's charming in its terribleness, but it still stinks. How they managed to pull off stop motion "naked turtle aliens" and so many explosions with next to no budget is a mystery of the highest level. Seriously did they happen to have a butt-load of explosives just lying around? And did they ask for car donations?Doesn't matter. Still stinks. Funny, yes. Silly, yes. Good? No. Very far from good. Though it is a fun watch if you are bored, drunk, smoking weed, because if you are doing all that, you will probably forget you're watching one of the worst movies of all time.
Majid-Hamid i must be out of my mind giving this movie a rating a 10 out of 10 stars. people might say that i'm crazy, but i realize why Leonard Maltin decide to give this movie a rating 2 1/2 stars for this movie. it's not really bad at all...the problem with the movie is there is no actual story and reasons to why all the incident happens involving the laser gun. And yet, who the f**k are the aliens???? but to my opinion, are these problems important enough to be questioned?? errr...what i meant is some things should not be taken seriously, it is not important for the director to explain who are the aliens and why the laser gun was left on earth. but the most important thing is how the aliens going to get back the laser back and what will happen if the laser gun falls into the hands of human. this is what the film trying to explain. this is a very simple movie and has couple of action scene which is good. Laserblast is more likely a drama to me, not an action movie.remember, this is no Star Wars, this is just a simple movie about a story about the life of a man who accidentally found the laser gun. Please reconsider this movie again fellas....give it a chance
