Dark Star Movie Reviews:

Bekon's Review of Dark Star:
Very cool, I simply cannot imagine it with a big budget, it might be a disaster.
O'Bannon admitted how important the 'Dark Star' was in developing of 'Alien' and now, after finally watching it I can see it.
goodnight mister's Review of Dark Star:
ending is brilliant and the script is great, acting is a little shaky in parts but it is nonetheless an enjoyable film with genuine originality and intelligence. i mean, what other film has a space hopper serving as murderous alien pet?
eomond's Review of Dark Star:
Great film, low budget but well thought out and is a classic. Many later big budget films have borrowed from this and are none the worse for it.
Matt's Review of Dark Star:
Great film, just goes to show what you can do with a good script and a limited budget.
