All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I'm hard-pressed to find another movie that can satisfy me the way Space Mutiny does. It's a lousy movie, but it's lousy in all the right ways to make me laugh. The awkward script is accentuated by the poor, often melodramatic acting. It contains so many cliches, it deserves an award. It's not just the spandex and lame´ costumes that are sci-fi cliches, but the cheap sets and props right down to the plot holes and continuity errors. Watch it as a low-budget parody that even parodizes itself, and throw away all expectations of quality cinema. Space Mutiny's imperfections make it a perfect accidental comedy, even without Mike and the bots. So I gave it 6 stars.I loved it so much, I made a tribute page.

I would have liked to have given this a lengthy drawn out technical review like many other reviewers here did. I'm sure that would help me psychologically after what I just saw, but I must admit that I truly feel enlightened and more appreciative of other movies that I have severely criticized. This piece of trash goes above and beyond bad script, bad acting, bad props, bad directing, bad casting, bad editing, bad continuity, bad effects, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad...and the list goes on. If someone told me this was directed by a high school class, I would believe them. If someone told me this movie was meant to be an example of how NOT TO MAKE A MOVIE, I would believe them. I've seen amateur footage on YouTube more entertaining in spirit. It encompasses everything that you hate about the 80's, while still managing to incorporate everything that you would hate in a very low, rock bottom basement budget home movie. I simply couldn't believe that I was seeing Cameron Mitchell wearing a fake beard in this bit of eye dung, playing the cloned part of Lorene Greene from Battlestar Galactica. Clearly, this was the result of the following homework: watch Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Believe in your hallucination that you are the guru of science fiction and know everything any 12 year old knows. Waste rolls of expensive professional film on worthless scenes that your talking dog dreams up. Viola! Space Mutiny is born! If I had a smart gun, I'd hunt down everyone involved and shoot them until they were intelligent enough understand what they've done. I had to ask myself the questions whether anyone involved in the film had even seen the movie? If they got paid? If they were they drugged? Or, did an entire group of actors lost a bet? I would only suggest watching this junk if you are a video masochist.

If it weren't for MST3K, I wouldn't have seen or known of Space Mutiny. And they did a great job riffing this one, one of their best and their riffing of one of the worst movies(though not quite as abominable as Monster A-Go Go pr Manos) to feature on the show. Where to start criticising? I guess a good starting point would be the editing, Space Mutiny really does have some of the worst editing in any movie known to man. It looks as though it was edited on bacon-slicers and in a matter of minutes, and has so many continuity errors you'll lose count. The worst one was with one person getting killed so obviously and then a few minutes later you see her again alive and unscathed. The camera work and effects are not quite as bad, but the fact that they look as though they were directly lifted out of stuff like Battlestar Galactica makes that saying very little in the movie's favour. The sets have a reputation apparently for being infamously bad and for good reason, the insides of the ship looks like that of an industrial building and the bridge?...what bridge, looked more like an office to me. The dialogue is so crass that you're constantly laughing hysterically or rolling your eyes, the action sequences are really badly staged with hardly anything of note really happening and no tension or anything and you really have to look hard searching for a story too. The acting is abysmal too, Reb Brown screams his way through the lead role and John Phillip Law makes for one of the most embarrassing, most overacted and least subtle villains you will ever see in any movie. The other acting is reminiscent of extras doing hilariously bad outtakes. Overall, from the editing to the acting Space Mutiny is hilariously terrible. 1/10 Bethany Cox

This is by far the FUNNIEST space adventure that ever existed! How can anyone say it is bad? I did the score to this when I was starving and we laughed so hard through out that it was sometimes hard to focus...but we made it through. The footage from the old TV show was classic and the acting...beyond perfect....in the worst of ways! Reb, the main character probably hung up his acting shoes after this one...but he should have worked it...Space Mutiny shows at Midnight...right before Rocky Horror Picture show.. So glad it is still getting action out there... Of all the C films I did...this one definitely stands out as the finest! Enjoy!
