not horrible nor great

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Watching Laserhawk with low expectations, I found it to be a surprisingly tolerable movie. It is far from great but could have been much worse. Sure, the movie was much too rushed, we never really get much time to properly connect with the characters and I think the pacing was the main reason why that was. The dialogue will make anybody laugh at how awkwardly cheesy it is, the big battle is lazily choreographed and makes no real impact other than perhaps unintentional humour and the story starts off interestingly but meanders badly into total and senseless nonsense. Laserhawk however doesn't look too bad from a visual point of view, the sets are detailed and colourful, the costumes are fitting and the special effects were surprisingly decent. The photography and editing while nothing inventive or extraordinary at least doesn't look amateurish either. The music is not too generic and does fit the movie while not plodding too much, while the sound is not overbearing or murky. The acting is better-than-average, Jason James Richter is a likable enough lead and Melissa Galianos matches him and is quite cute and fiery. Mark Hamill's appearance is brief but still memorable, while Gordon Currie and Ivan Rogers acquit themselves well albeit with rather clichéd characters. All in all, not great but could have been far worse. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Well it looks like the Anti-Christ (Gordon Currie) did have movies beyond Left Behind and Puppet Master. Well, I guess its a role. But as a movie, this movie was not only strange, it pretty much sucked.Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) went insane in this film. Talking about the knowledge of an alien invasion, he is sent to the 'loonie bin'. I would have sent him there years ago, but I don't have that kind of power.Anyway, the day is saved and the ship was there too. Gordon Currie played one strange cat in this movie. But at least he got paid. Maybe next time he can take the Laserhawk for a test spin. With all the misguided special effects and bad casting, it couldn't get much worse. "D-"

I liked this movie. It felt a lot like The Last Starfighter (which, as far as I'm concerned is a classic). Wait 5 years and it will become the next Last Starfighter. It just needs time to age and be eclipsed by more movies that play off the same theme.I don't see why most people didn't like it. The fight scene is so cheese-tastic, it gives Star Trek a run for its money. That is the only bad thing i saw in the movie. But it was really really funny, so its not entirely bad.This isn't a Mark Hammill movie. He is only on screen for 20 minutes tops. To compare this movie to the Matrix, he plays the Trinity. Completely necessary and entangled in the plot, but is ultimately only a delivery boy for the ending.

I saw this movie totally expecting it to be unwatchable... my family rented it during our movie gag-a-thon, where we screened lousy films for a horrible sort of fun. It was very lo-fi... but we all really enjoyed it for what it was. We have a separate category around our house for this sort of film... and within that category it rates right up there with lo-fi movies like Supernova, Python, and Komodo. If you are renting 5 for 5, or if you see it come up on TV... it's not bad. Kind of "Red Dawn" meets "Independence Day" but never graduates from High School. Mark Hammil's presence and performance are redeeming qualities, but don't expect pure genius, I gave it a 5. Enjoy.
