| Storyline Space Milkshake is a comedic adventure that’s got its feet firmly planted in the science fiction of yesteryear while still delivering a modern take on the genre. The film stars Robin Dunne, Billy Boyd, Amanda Tapping and Kristen Kreuk in what can only be described as the love child of Alien and Red Dwarf. In the future, one of the biggest problems the Earth must deal with is space waste, debris floating around in space. To deal with this, there are sanitation stations set up around the Earth to take care of the excess garbage and to guide various vessels from bumping into any of it. Odd things begin to happen after a rubber duck hits the outer haul of one of these stations and the four person crew brings the item aboard shortly after all life on Earth dissapears. Turns out, in ain’t just a rubber duck but instead a creature named Gary whose travelled through time and space to open a portal to his evil dimension to take over the universe. Needless to say that somebody’s got to stop him and since there’s noboby else around, it has to be these four sanitation workers. But do they have the cajones to do it? … | |

Kristin Kreuk’s resume doesn’t have anything we have seen, but Amanda
Tapping is well know from the Stargate franchise and lead the cast in
Sanctuary, which included Robin Dunne, plus Billy Boyd is best know for
the Lord of Rings. Looks like a “B” movie with strong players. While
the performances were well within our expectations, my wife said it
best with ‘Why did they bother making this?’.
The opening scene shows the theft of an undefined piece of technology
— the centerpiece of this end of the world story. But you never get a
good feeling why it was invented to begin with. Our blue-collar workers
being forced to saved the universe had great flexibility of unexpected
story lines, but it’s mostly a tiring experience to watch. At times it
feels like 4 great performers were invited to do a sketch on the Muppet
Show. Sadly “Pigs in Space” is better than Space Milkshake — a title
that never did make any sense to me.
You may wish to watch this to see an additional appearance from Amanda
or Billy beyond what we are accustom to seeing, but you’ll spend the
entire 80mins waiting for the movie to get better — but it doesn’t.
