Watch Lightspeed For Free

Let's be realistic.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I am honestly not certain if I have ever seen a movie worse than this in my entire life - ever. It almost physically hurt my brain to force it to continue to the end. I imagine the only way Stan had anything to do with this is that somebody said to him, "Hey, Stan. Can we make a movie out of this vague character idea? You just have to pay for it", and Stan replied, "Oh, yeah, that looks okay. Sure, do it", and never had anything else to do with it. The way he gets the powers is awful. The way he gets his suit is awful. The way he uses his powers is awful. The acting, all around, is awful. Good grief, man, even the soundtrack is awful. The whole thing is just...yeah, awful. Even remembering having watched this film a few years ago is bringing on some PTS. If you have already watched this, I am so, so sorry.

I like superhero movies just as much as the next person, but I was dubious about Lightspeed considering it was SyFy, notorious for making bad movies. As far as SyFy movies go, Lightspeed is not their worst, and not quite bottom-of-the-barrel quality. And that is only because Python looked cool. However, it was to me a terrible movie, with unimaginative and often cheap-looking special effects and choppy editing. The writing is of a corny and clunky quality throughout, the story is dull and predictable with no real excitement or thrills and the characters have no likability to them, coming across as either annoying or dull. The acting is also very wooden, with Jason Connery an uncharismatic lead and everyone else not faring much better. All in all, it may be a superhero movie but it lacks flash, any genuine excitement, a convincing lead or imagination. 1/10 Bethany Cox

43 year old Jason Connery plays a "ghost squad" agent who must fight his old friend Daniel Goddard who has turned into a snake man named Python. Connery gets trapped in a collapsing building and then irradiated at the hospital which gives him the power to run in fast forward. His costume is a bunch of crap from a sporting goods store. Python has an awesome makeup job and a plot to destroy the government for non-specific revenge, but he's equally silly.The quality of this production is so crude that it makes most low budget TV movies look good. It's full of choppy slow motion, unnecessary dissolves, and ultra cheap CG special effects. Things blur and ghost a lot in an attempt to hide the unprofessional shooting, even though it just makes it look worse. The camera work is mindless and the score is canned. Not to mention the acting, which is typical of TV movies and straight to video junk. Python is especially bad since the guy under the makeup is trying to do the villain voice the whole time.Connery never looks like anything but a middle aged loser in a jogging suit. This seems careless as all they really needed to do was put a girdle and a hairpiece on him. Apart from this, his performance makes it obvious he never would have been in movies in the first place if his father hadn't been Sean Connery.Connery's character, Daniel Leight (leight, light, Lightspeed! Get it?) has a girlfriend played by Nicole Eggert. She's also part of the "ghost squad" (which is supposed to be a kind of special forces meet SWAT team) which is a pretty laughable concept as she is just another disposable Baywatch bimbo. Naturally she winds up as bait later in the film.It's weak and predictable every step of the way. More than anything it feels like a knockoff of "Black Mask 2" which was worthless anyhow. It's 88 minutes are an eternity for any halfway discerning movie viewer. Oh, and Lee Majors is in it. Enough said.

I know Sci-Fi Channel loves to air the worst sci-fi movies they can find, but they've outdone themselves with this garbage! OMG, it's not just bad, it is stupid! The low budget Captain America and Spider-Man TV movies in the 80s had more imagination and style than this bowl of chum. Everythting about it was a joke: The stars, the story, the characters, the dialogue, the direction, the not-very-special effects and most of all that ridiculous costume! Sure, every superhero with a bad comb over walks into a sporting goods shop and throws together their costume. Connery looked like a member of some gay stage show. Jason's dad would be rolling over in his grave if he was dead -- and seeing his son in THIS may kill him.If you want to see a good show about a guy with super speed, skip this vat of pee and pick up the DVDs of the Flash TV series from the 90s. It's a HELL of a lot more netertaining. jk90
