Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

JamieWJackson Very mild spoiler (of something which happens in the first 20 minutes): So in our cast we've got 2 slightly past-their-prime shampoo TV commercial models, 1 foul-tempered missing linkess, and a heart-poundingly cute goddess named Emily Longstreth. What's a movie production to do but kill off the goddess straight away and take our chances with the rest after........huh??There are many things to be said about this alleged movie. Like "in space, no one can hear you crawl". Or "why act when we can just sit here?" Or "hey, you know... tying these random scenes together doesn't actually require an explanation, just some splicing tape". Or "glowing dot showdown Survivor -- in SPACE!"Only watch this if you have a strong tolerance for junk and your life is simply 91 minutes too damn long. (So... why did I watch it? Schlock OCD, I guess. That and Emily Longstreth! Even if only for a scandalously few minutes.)

Aaron1375 I remember watching this one as a child and it was not exactly the most original movie starting out. Clearly one of the many "Alien" clones out there this one features the ship that takes on a crystal and said crystal spawns an alien. I shall call said creature star creature for the purposes of this review. Well star creature methodically kills the crew of this vessel and he does so very quickly with kills that are typical of low budget horror. We have the typical vent scenes, a lab death and things of that nature. Star creature seems nearly indestructible as plan after plan fails to stop this beast from killing the crew. Then we are down to the last two members of the crew and it is time for the final showdown, right? No, wrong! It is time for the people to become friends with star creature and make the first part of the film with all the death a distant memory as this alien becomes friendly. You get scenes of him and the last two survivors helping each other and having a fond farewell scene. Excuse me, star creature butchered the rest of the crew and now it is friendly? I mean it tries to explain that it was defending itself, but really now how much danger is a creature that is nearly indestructible really in, seriously? At least they did not have the last two remaining crew throw their arms around the thing at the end and go "we are going to miss you so much, star creature". Though I can see the female going "goodbye, though I still don't understand why you killed everyone" and the guy going "shut up, it is almost gone and we will finally not have to worry about that thing mutilating us if we happen to startle it". All in all a bad "Alien" rip off, that I will say got a bit original when the alien got friendly. Thankfully, in the "Alien" movies you never had scenes where Ripley had tea with the aliens in an effort to understand why they must shoot their offspring into the mouths of other living things to procreate.

xtrospawn A slimy, tentacled creature boards a spacecraft and quickly dispatches half of the crew before discovering religion and realizing that killing is wrong. You heard correctly. The creature gets on-line and reads up on some bible quotes and, in the bizarre twist ending, befriends the two survivors and plays Chinese checkers.Subpar sci-fi entry on every level, from the poor acting, directing, set design. And the endlessly long scenes of characters crawling through tunnels. Not to mention the creature that looks like a giant sock that someone sneezed on. The biggest problem is that it kills off the crew too quickly. So for the last 45 minutes we're stuck with the two survivors watching the stars, eating soup, crawling through tunnels, etc. Skip this one.

TobyS I can't begin to try and get across how absolutely awful Star Crystal is. I knew it was going to be bad, but nothing could prepare me for this pile of steaming doo. The acting makes most grade school plays look like Oscar material. I mean, did these people really yell "cut", and then pat each other on the backs for a job well done?More often than not, the sets are just a black stage with a spotlight on the "actors", and the ships are nothing more than dime store models dug up from a garage sale.Lets not forget the alien. Where's the alien from the box cover??? THAT is the movie I wanted to see. The alien here looks like a slimy reject from Fraggle Rock! Worse yet, this mess was supposed to have had some resemblance to a sci-fi horror movie, but instead turns into the Muppet Family Hour at the end! Thank God for my DVD player's fast forward function. I would have never gotten though the last 30 minutes without speeding this trash heap up to warp 6.My grade: F (and that's still to kind)
