I'm giving it a 3 only because of nostalgia. I watched this movie as a teenager and thought it was cool. Forgot the title and went on a decade search for it. Finally found the name and watched it only to realize I was an idiot as a teenager. This is not even one of those movies that is so bad it's good, it's just bad on top of bad. The story could have been interesting if they hadn't done it a dozen times before. The acting was not terrible but they obviously did not understand or have direction on the plot or characters. The music is top of the bottom public domain kind of music and just goes on and on and on, louder than it should have been and often didn't fit the scene.We are introduced to a bunch of ho-hum, typical characters with no back story or anything at all interesting about them. The twists are dull and don't make any sense at all. The ending would have been interesting if not being confusing or horrible graphics (SPOILERS!), all I could think was "why is there an experimental bunker under the Golden Gate Bridge?" At least I think it was the Golden Gate Bridge...Bad, bad movie. I see why they never released it on DVD.

Quite different in tone from most films produced by Concorde, "Star Quest" follows a group of stranded space explorers towards disorder and self-destruction. There are only a handful of sets as most the scenes take place on the spacecraft, with a few v.r. sequences that - believe it or not - were actually filmed for this movie (unlike other Corman recycle jobs), plus various shots of the craft's exterior thrown in. The acting is also bumped up a bit from the usual B expectations, Emma Samms, Cliff De Young, and Ming-Na being the standouts. Lisa Boyle makes a nice cameo as a v.r. fantasy girl. All in all, a decent sort of extended "Outer Limits" episode with a nihilistic feel and lingering ending.

While it is not the best movie ever made, nor the best done, I think it's still an enjoyable movie. The acting, while a bit sheltered by medicore scripting, is superb. Ming Na does very well as the doctor, and Emma Samms and Brenda Bakke do quite well also. And of course, being the ever popular De Young fan, Cliff did very well, minus the bad accent. All in all, I would suggest this movie to most people, so long as you don't watch it with kids.

Terminal Voyage is not a very good film. It's a cheap Alien clone without the character, the suspense or, indeed, the Alien. A multi-national mismatched group of pioneers awake from a hundred years in hyper-sleep : their mission is to begin the colonisation of a new world. The Captain didn't survive the journey and, well, the rest is cliche. The group begin to disintegrate, racial stereotypes are brought to the fore and the Virtual Reality unit does a good line in soft-focus soft-core pornography.Questions : Was the Captain's death sabotage? Do crew members start dying one-by-one? Does someone die inside the VR unit? Is one of the crew secretly an android? Is it obvious from the very start who it is? Does the android's severed head get powered up so that the cast member can sit underneath the table with just their head visible?If you can answer "yes" to all of these questions then you could make a film that would bear an uncanny resemblance to Terminal Voyage.
