I've seen some stinkers in my time and I have no idea why I watched this, I think assuming it was a recent sci-fi film I couldn't go wrong. How wrong I was! It has the feel that someone made a bet they could make a film in a week with £100 budget and this was the result! All bad films I've seen generally have at least one thing I can say positive but unfortunately I'd struggle with this one. The script is incredibly dire and pointless, it would of made just as much sense as if I was watching a foreign film without subtitles. The acting is wooden but no doubt is due to the fact the script is so bad there wasn't any room to 'act'. Although it has to be said that Sean Patrick Flanery really deserves some kind of bad acting award as the choice of voice (a kind of Jack Bauer husky growl) and the constant wrinkled confused look on his face is annoying to the nth degree.The set design is non existent, more like someone went down the city dump and grabbed a load of old CRT and computer keyboards and stuck them everywhere. The lighting is simply too bright in most cases, if they were to simply turn most of the lights off they'd probably end up with something a lot more sinister and moodier. The CG looks like it was done on a home PC with free software. Some of the stills of the spaceships look okay but as soon as they move...oh dear. Also there is no ambient light in space, everything should be harsh shadows and yet against the pitch black of space the dark side of the spaceships are gray! Green-screen when the 'actors' are superimposed look awful, with blurry halos around everything. Sound was very lackluster, I don't recall anything adding to the ambiance or tension of the scenes.I didn't have the willpower to watch the whole film in one go but no film has ever beat me so I forced myself to finish it. The one redeeming thing about the film is I film privileged that I have now watched the worse film I've every seen. Thank you for that.

One explosion scene in the film had me rewinding to watch it again. Super creepy and out of nowhere — a splatter surprise.The visuals were great and I loved Jamie Strange's and Louise Linton's acting. For some movie magic, the girls were pretty; the dudes looked good, too... just like how a real spaceship trip would be, I'm sure. ;)Heat up some popcorn and take to outer space to "scavenge" with the crew. I thought it was a nice departure for the director. What better place to go than outer space?Cheers!

Still not exactly a soap. Not much better than one though. The German title "Space Soldiers" also promises something that sound more like an action movie than it is. But that is not the problem with Scavengers at hand here. The problem is, that while it's cute (and "dark"), it fails to impress on the jokes side. It tries hard to be funny and the actors are probably not as bad as they seem in this movie.Unfortunately the timing is off and S.P. Flanery might try to outdo Steven Seagal with his performance here (alright it's not that bad. But still worse than anything else I've seen him do and I know he can act). Other than that you shouldn't be too fixed on the production values (because there are none), especially the cheap looking ... everything in it. Still they try their best to hide those things with fog/smoke inside a space ship(?). Yep it's that bad. If you still have a heart of Gold and can't be mad at the somewhat likable characters and some funny ideas (Twelve/Thirteen), you might like this more than you should. Until the end after end comes along ... maybe

You know a movie is bad when you wish Nicholas Cage was in it!The Good: My favourite part was when Breathtaker and Jekel kiss through the shower glass! Also "Twelve" aka "Thirteen" is eye-candy...even if he is the recurring red-shirt. I also give props to the writer for adding in "I'm not dead yet" in what I will consider a tribute to Monty Python. And if it sounds as though I'm grasping for straws, it's because I am.The Bad: Everything else. Weak plot, poorly written dialogue, bad sets, worse cgi. The "twist" at the end was disappointing. I hope to never hear the words "protocol" and "scavenger" again.
