Rating:  - love the behind the scenes
The other reviews here already cover the basics. Yes, there are childish fart jokes (which seem lame to me). Yes, the storyline is kind of basic and the humor falls flat in places.
But, I gained a new appreciation for the movie when I watched the behind the scenes and listened to the commentary. I love working on my own projects and I love to see a small number of people do big things. The entire movie seems to have been created by 6 people on a very shoestring budget. I feel different about the movie because of that.
Some people wouldn't judge a movie in that way. For those types of people this movie is probably 3 stars. (And that's what I was going to give it before listening to the commentary.) If you give extra appreciation to projects done by small numbers of people then I think it's worth 4 stars.
Rating: - OK, but too short, should be a bonus feature with something.
Star Warp'd is a clay/computer animation parody based around Star Trek, Star Wars and a bunch of other sci-fi flicks.
Captain Kwirk and the team aboard the "Constiliation Prize" find themselves going up against a farting Darth Vapor and his goons. something about a rift in time that makes the unbelievable happen or something. Robocop ends up against the Terminator and E.T lays the smackdown on Alien. A few laughs here and there but overall the whole thing goes for about 30 minutes, then goes into part 2.1 and 2.2 that last about 30 seconds and leave it like there will be a sequel.
I guess maybe that was there intent, but I felt like the movie had no ending.
Quite frankly, I'm ok with the fact that I hired this, but if I'd bought it I'd have felt ripped off, because this is more like something you'd enjoy finding as a bonus feature in a video to something like "Team America", "Disaster", Robot Chicken or even something to find on youtube.
Although it's nicely done and looks good, it just isn't long enough to be a DVD on it's own. Like I said, it should be something as a bonus feature.
It also has a boring featurette that goes almost longer then the movie itself.
Buy it if you must own every parody ever made, or are a die hard fan of Star Wars/Trek parodies, but euhh, it's nothing really special and could have been a lot better. rent it to find out what you'd think if you're interested to find out. Some good laughs, and ... Read More
Rating: - Low-brow humor, true, but still some good parodies
Unlike some of the other reviewers here, I liked BOTH this film and "Spaceballs" -- for different reasons. "Spaceballs" is live action satire with plenty of Jewish in-jokes ("Druish princesses" and all). It is exactly what we have come to expect from producer Mel Brooks. "Star Warp'd," on the other hand is a fan-produced parody that is low-budget, low-tech and, in places, low-brow in its "Dark Smell of the Force" fart-and-poop humor -- but I found it funny just the same. (After all, "Spaceballs" stooped to low-brow puns, too -- only they were mostly sexual double entendres.)
Granted, the claymation is rather crude. If you watch the behind-the-scenes feature included on the DVD, you will see that parts of this were literally filmed in somebody's garage. Other parts were generated on home computers. The puppets were made out of Sculpy, and the sets were put together in a couple of days by guys pulling all-nighters (by their own admission.) If you read the credits, you'll see the same half-dozen or so names over and over, filling in all the different production roles -- that in itself struck me as a hilarious satire of blockbuster movies.
The producers themselves called this "guerilla filmmaking" and it should be viewed as such. A film by fans for fans. As such, I think the primitive puppets and homemade sets only add to the satire. This is definitely not the slick product of Paramount or LucasFilms.
For all its primitiveness, "Star Warp'd" does do ... Read More
Rating:  - THE FUNNIEST PARODY EVER !!!!!!!!!
I don't remember laughing harder than when i watched this movie. This movie is awesome. A must see for fans of Star Wars/Star trek or any sci fi
Rating: - Star Warped
I thought the movie was great. Involving all those characters in one movie was brilliant. I recommend it if you want to laugh at some stupid stuff or just laugh in general.
