Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I stumbled upon this 1986 Sci-Fi movie one day whilst browsing the Sci-Fi section, and I had an initial suspicion that director Lance Lindsay might actually have cashed in on the success of "Alien" with this movie, given what I read on the synopsis on the back of the movie cover.True enough, this turned out to be somewhat of a rip off of the "Alien" concept, like so many other Sci-Fi movies that came out in that time. But to spice things up a bit, throw in elements from "E.T." as well, and you will end up with "Star Crystal"."Star Crystal" has an adequate and interesting enough concept idea. The storyline is about a space mission on Mars where the crew pick up an alien life-form and bring it back on their spaceship. Yep, I know, sounds familiar? It turned out that while the concept of this idea was interesting, then the execution to the screen made for a very boring plot and storyline.The acting in the movie was mediocre, which really didn't reflect well on the overall movie, making it somewhat of an ordeal to actually sit through the movie to the very end. But I endured and stuck with it, as it might actually get better. But it didn't...I will say that the creature design was actually rather interesting and it turned out to be the best part about the entire movie. However, I was under the impression that this would be a vicious alien with lots of teeth, as the movie cover showed, but that was as far from the actual presentation of the creature in the movie as it could be. So don't get your hopes up on seeing the creature as shown on the DVD cover.All in all, then "Star Crystal" was not an impressive movie, not now and I doubt that it was back in 1986 as well. I am not overly keen on Sci-Fi as a genre, and "Star Crystal" did nothing to boost my interest in the Sci-Fi genre.

Liam wuthrich i love the plot even if it was old kudos to everybody that made this movie a hit because it was piloted after a video game i thought and the music was perfect i also wonder if this movie try to compete with silent running a old space movie similar to the pilot of battle star galactic the near version win grace park and other continue the battle star legacy with the name and Cammand training on all ships in space and at sea on planet earth. anyway no i would never her a song from Acadia or silent running but if they did a back to back of movie like this i would be surprised at the station rating if they we spooled old film and add it to TV maybe if it pass in rating maybe the government would consider the copy-rite laws did deep into the vaults and maybe play these movie because science has been explained a lot better by different stars. and i think if these actors are still around because there alders they should get a Oscar or Grammy or Juno award because star crystal was good for it time but now it like other movies cant be archived like music on any movie site even Bit Torrent Junky when it starter up in the year in the year of 05 finishing in 2012 because the company closed it door because they did not want a law sauté because the copy-rite laws are new and most site no them cover to cover.great movie and this movie's like star crystal will be missed forever.

HyperPup I vaguely remember this movie from a long time ago. I think it was my senior year in high school when it came on one night real late on The Movie Channel or something. I only remember the cheesy space ships where you could see the animation stand holding up the model and the scenes in the space station that where clearly filmed in an airport or something. All the stupid escalators around and the white interiors. Then the alien showed up and started turning people into a slimy gel substance or something. Then it ended all sweet and gooey with the alien trying to repent for killing the crew and becoming a loving alien with the surviving crew. God, how did they get funding to even write the script for this piece of trash.

Zorin-2 I love space movies, especially of the 80's, but sadly most of them are pretty terrible. I ment to rent Star Crystal for years but never got around to it. The cover was appealing and the explanation on the back of the box didn't make it sound half bad. Finally I picked it up at a video store on the sale rack for a buck. Got home and popped it in. Sadly to say, was was truly disappointed. It was a chore sitting through the film. Most low-budget sci/fi films can get by if they have even just an ounce of good acting. Sadly Star Crystal lacks any good acting at all. It just ends up being another Alien rip-off much like the movie Creature (Creature is far better though) as an alien is released from a "star crystal" and attacks the crew one by one.Cheesy effects and bad acting, with a silly twist at the end makes this film easily forgotten allowing no one t sob or cry if it never comes to DVD. Not as bad as Roger Corman's early 80's space adventures, but pretty close. * out of *****
