Watch Space Mutiny For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I find this Sci-Fi/Action turd to not only be in violation of Intergalatic Law, but also a violation of all things decent and in good taste.Space Mutiny. A righteously-ridiculous-B-grade-Sci-Fi-crapfest: Starring Reb Brown as Dave Ryder, a swaggering tough-guy and an ace "Sting-Ray Viper" pilot, who crash-lands onto the Southern Sun, a spaceship that's rife with murder, mutiny and sabotage. Ryder finds himself pitted against "The Enforcers" (who I surmise are essentially the space-police and are the law aboard the Southern Sun) and their leader, the villainous and vengeful Kalgan (played by John Philip Law). Cutting right to it this movie is just plain terrible, the handiwork of the ever awful David Winters (a short n' portly old schlockmeister from the UK), who not only produced this ridiculous movie, but also co-directed (so if you were looking to blame any one person for this existence of this movie, well, just point your finger at Winters). But keeping mind, at the same time this movie can be a hell of lot of fun - as long as you approach it as an accidental comedy.As mentioned above the plot revolves around a massive space ship called the Southern Sun, which is home to thousands of people, who are space traveler's enroute to another planet many light-years away. However there is mutiny in the air (hence the title) as discontentment grows strong among certain rebel factions of the crew and their leader Kalgan. In the opening minutes of the movie the great Dave Ryder makes an emergency landing and finds himself thrust right into the thick of things - it's Reb Brown so expect a tall, square-jarred, meat-headed hero type. Whereas Kalgan is played by John Philip Law, who evidently borrowed Pat Riley's greasy hair for the role and at the same time he seems to be having a blast in playing the villain in this crappy movie. Because he's literally full of laughs - even when there's absolutely nothing remotely funny happening, but that won't stop Kalgan from indulging in his many fits of self-congratulatory laughter.On a purely visual basis Space Mutiny is all over the place and is aesthetically-speaking one of the worst looking Sci-Fi movies ever made. The movie unfolds in a series of ham-handed scenes which are often incoherent and frequently shift back and forth from scenes that were filmed on cheap and brightly-lit "spaceship sets" or the dark, grimy interiors of an old brick-walled factory (which as you'll notice they made no effort to black out it's several large windows) that's loaded with a forest of corroded pipes, crisscrossed with catwalks and an endless amount of railing. The look of the film is further juxtaposed by the inclusion of a liberal amount footage which was clearly taken from the TV show "Battlestar Galactica" (which, not surprisingly, looks much better than any of the footage that was filmed by David Winters), which only adds to the movies overwhelming sense of feeling like that of a cinematic jig-saw puzzle, one that's been very crudely cut n' pasted together.Then there's the costumes to speak of and there just as bad and as tacky as the sets, especially in the case of the good guys. Another highlight of Space Mutiny are the "Enforcer Cars", that you often see humming along the corridors of the Southern Sun, which are essentially nothing more than glorified golf-carts. These cars are typically pussy-footed along at speeds no faster than if you were walking on foot - say at the sedate speed of 3. But fasten your seat-belts! For Space Mutiny's thrilling climax, we not only get a low-speed chase, but also a duel to the death between two of these motorized bad-boy's. Their official designations are "Enforcer 1" that's Kalgan's ride -vs- "Enforcer 6" which obviously is Dave's wheels. During the course of this flagrantly and embarrassingly ridiculous scene, the action is punctuated by the sounds of the Enforcer Car's electric motors, Kalgan's trademark laughter and the part where Dave yells like a woman.In light of that fact that Space Mutiny is such a terrible and crudely put together production, it should come as little surprise, that this film contains one of cinemas most glaring and super-obvious continuities. One where you'll no doubt be hearing yourself say "Hey, wait a second! Wasn't she killed a few minutes ago???!!!" and you'd be entirely correct in that assertion. But if you haven't noticed, logic has very little relevance in the world of Dave Ryder and Kalgan. As I said earlier Space Mutiny easily and resoundingly qualifies as one of the worst Sci-Fi movies ever produced, in spite of it's competition - i.e. several decades worth of terrible and laughably-dated Sci-Fi films. I would recommend that you track down a copy of the MST3K version, not only is it more readily available, but surprise-surprise, it's even funnier than the original version; and take it from somebody who knows - The Rhino Home Video release of Space Mutiny is the best copy on the market.

Space mutiny is kind of like Star Wars or Star Trek, except really really lame, and really badly done.Part of what made Star Wars great was that it looked fantastic, this however, looks fantastically bad. Any kind of control room is furnished with "futuristic" late 80's computers and card board consoles, the graphics are taken straight from old computer systems and much of the film takes place in some kind of boiler room where men in paintball masks ride around in bumper cars. Clothes and hairstyles are also taken straight from the 80's. Another thing that made Star Wars great was the epic story, the fight between good and evil and the mysteries of The Force. Here it is a very confusing story, the fight between some guys, and some other guys, because they are supposedly good and evil, and the mysteries of some women who dance around a bunch of plasma globes for some reason. When a film looks this bad, is this confusing and the characters are this stupid,the action (which is sometimes acceptably well done), holds no interest; no matter how much they shoot at each other with laser guns it is still boring.

This was NOT one of those "B for Bad" FUN films to watch. This is a bad bad bad film. It looks like it was made for about a $2000. The cast is made up of out-of-work lead actors, jocks, and lead actor family members. The film was produced by Cameron Mitchell's wife (the show lead) and his blond daughter plays the sex kitten role in this LLLLOOOOoooonnnnggggg film. John Phillip 'Barbarella' Law badly plays the one baddie in the film. The film jacket says, "Breathtaking special effects from the team that brought you Star Wars." ILM....Really ??!!!? It doesn't look like it. It only looks like Universal TV's Battlestar Galactica. A veritable 'Who's That' of acting? Also, film jacket says, "The enormous 'Southern Star' spacecraft faces destruction from within from the evil Kalagan and his men take control through a violent and explosive mutiny. Kalagan's plan: scrap the ship and sell the passengers into slavery. Only one man (Reb Brown) has the strength and courage to lead the fight against the mutineers. Armed with laser cannons and neutron grenades, he leads the Commander's daughter and a handful of soldiers into a blasting battle against Kalagan and his brutal forces." Man, you people are actors - act like you have two brain cells to rub together.

This movie is by far my absolute favorite of all time. For me it is the most intelligent, philosophical and high-brow science fiction movie since "2001"! It simply is the "Citizen Kane" of SF and I wonder why it was not even nominated for an Oscar."Space Mutiny" has a more fantastic and innovative story than "Star Wars" and more emotion than "Love Story". It's an amazing, fantastic, breathtaking movie about the mysteries of life, love, space and time.But the best of it are the special effects: In an unique act of humanity it took away hard work of dozens of effect specialists by simply borrowing nearly all effects by "Battlestar Galactica". For that brilliant idea alone it deserves an Academy award!
