Description: So anyway, DARK UNIVERSE is like a short-bus kid’s idea of ALIEN 5 (you know, the one that’s never gonna get made about when the Aliens come to Earth). Joe Fucking Estevez is rich guy Rod Kendrick, who built a rocket and sent it into space just because he wants to get into a pissing contest with NASA. This goes sour, though, when the ship randomly becomes infested by space spores, turning the pilot into a being that is as close as one can get to HR Giger’s design without causing litigation. (This might explain why the damn thing has the arms of a praying mantis.) This alien then goes on a rampage through the swamps of Southern Florida, and only a surly swamp guide and a bitchy news reporter can stop it! From stem to stern, this thing is fucking golden; it’s a shower of crum-bum FX, awkward dialogue, ridonkulous logic and gratuitous everything. The film moves swiftly, doesn’t take itself seriously in the slightest and gives you everything you came for, even boobs – you wouldn’t think a story set almost entirely in a swamp would find room for femme nudity, but DARK UNIVERSE does. A hoot and a holler, this one.

Fun tidbit. The spaceship in the opening scenes (the ONLY space scenes in this movie) is a toy model of Darth Vader’s 3-wing Imperial Cruiser. So, I guess if you’re going to use a toy for your movie, you can use the toy from a rather famous series of movies (before George Lucas screwed it all up).

In Return of the Jedi (and in a re-used scene inserted into the special edition of The Empire Strikes Back), there are inconsistencies between the ILM model and the mock-up used on the set.
