The Starlost: The Beginning (1980)
Good premise, but bad execution
I liked the entire concept of the Starlost and some episodes were hood, but it looked horribly low budget and camera/acting at times were very stale. Thats why Spielberg makes the big bucks. Seems like a cheap Canadian production ( yes I'm from Canada so i can say this). I hope someday someone can do a remake. Loved the ship model. They needed to speed up the temp of the show too. So so much potential. If done right, could have been on for years and done well. I googled some of the actors, and to no surprise, many never acted again. Please also make it a US production. Maybe JJ Abrams can help out. One nice thing us they are on YouTube for nostalgia.
Martian Land (2015)
Bad enough to be a Canadian film
The special effects are not the worst i have seen but camera angles (directing) make any mild acting ability completely lost. Sad that we cant do better in 2015. I rather watch an equally low budget Dr. Who from 1980s and be more entertained. In the first 1 minute of watching this film (about 1 hr into the movie) and seeing the horrible camera angles, acting, dialog and lesbian kiss, i swear it was a Canadian film, but its not !! Why make this crap and who would spend money selling this to the network. I rather watch reruns of 1960s My favorite martian than this. I need 10 lines to submit a review. Sadly nothing more needs to be said. Space Channel, STOP buying rights to these crappy films. please stop. Only then maybe we can exterminate future crap friends m being made. These actors should not quit their day job. I would be embarrassed to say i was in a film like this. More embarrassed than if saying i was in a porn film.
