It wasn&#8217;t perfect, but there was so much going on. My brain even now bubbles thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a movie I would like to have on DVD. It could probably also be remade as a bigger Prometheus\/Serenity type blockbuster. I mean, if you&#8217;re going to remake something, why not something with a good basis that just never got a chance? I&#8217;m just sayin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>SUMMARY: An expedition looking for some mythological space rumor with a crackpot scientist that barely got funding. They&#8217;re all there for the money, meeting up before boarding the ship they&#8217;ve chartered, piloted by a mysterious man that uses the computer to communicate with them. But he&#8217;s always watching through the red light eyes of his cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The crew as I remember it: An empath for rent. A surgical doctor and his nurse wife\/girlfriend. The scientist on his mad journey.<\/p>\n<p>Mysterious things happen and all kinds of terrifying things. And there&#8217;s just a ton of sci-fi tropes tossed out that it&#8217;s like some mad guidebook.<\/p>\n<p>SPOILER ALERT!!!<br \/>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wjh87MutT7g?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the sci-fi\/horror movie Nightflyers on DVD?&#8221; This was a movie that had a bit of everything: -80&#8217;s hair -threatening psychotic brain controlled spaceship -laser surgical theater of DOOM! -cross-sex clone with super pretty 80&#8217;s boy looks, psychic powers, and a sensitive nature. -sex between Skeletor&hellip;<\/p>\n <a href=\"https:\/\/harperkingsley.net\/blog\/nightflyers\/\" title=\"RE: Nightflyers\" class=\"entry-more-link\"><span>Read More<\/span> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">RE: Nightflyers<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"Layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-harperkingsley0-0","post-2138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-movies-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2pPoL-yu","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":304,"url":"https:\/\/harperkingsley.net\/blog\/movie-review-returner-japanese-sci-fi-action\/","url_meta":{"origin":2138,"position":0},"title":"MOVIE REVIEW: Returner [Japanese] sci-fi, action","author":"Harper Kingsley","date":"February 3, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"Returner Directed by: Takashi Yamazaki Written by: Takashi Yamazaki, Kenya Hirata Starring: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Anne Suzuki, and Goro Kishitani Summary from IMDB: A young woman from the future forces a local gunman to help her stop an impending alien invasion which will wipe out the human race. ----------------------- Okay, so\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Movie Reviews&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Movie Reviews","link":"https:\/\/harperkingsley.net\/blog\/category\/reviews\/movie-reviews\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":275,"url":"https:\/\/harperkingsley.net\/blog\/movie-review-pandorum-sci-fi-horror\/","url_meta":{"origin":2138,"position":1},"title":"MOVIE REVIEW: Pandorum [sci-fi, horror]","author":"Harper Kingsley","date":"January 31, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"Title: Pandorum Genre: sci-fi, horror Rating: R Director: Christian Alvart Writers: Travis Milloy (screenplay) Stars: Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Cam Gigandet Summary borrowed from IMDB: A pair of crew members aboard a spaceship wake up with no knowledge of their mission or their identities. ---------------------------- If you like gritty sci-fi\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Movie Reviews&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Movie Reviews","link":"https:\/\/harperkingsley.net\/blog\/category\/reviews\/movie-reviews\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/yMEhkTxs3_E\/0.jpg?resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":2732,"url":"https:\/\/harperkingsley.net\/blog\/riptide-wtf-kindle-autocorrect-movies\/","url_meta":{"origin":2138,"position":2},"title":"Riptide, Wtf Kindle autocorrect, Movies","author":"Harper Kingsley","date":"October 3, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"Riptide Publishing: Anniversary Sale!
