Universets fire mest lusede astronauter er på opdagelse langt ude i rummet. Der har de svævet rundt alt for længe med en blind maskot, skibets døde kaptajn og country musik som eneste selskab. Deres opgave er at sprænge politisk ustabile planeter med hjælp fra en selvtænkende supersensitiv bombe. Et relativt meningsløst rutinejob, som vil få hvem som helst til at blive sindssyg af kedsommelighed og det er præcis, hvad besætningen er ved at blive. Hvad der er endnu mere urovækkende er at bombe nr. 20 begynder at tro den er Gud. En opdagelse som virkelig bogstavelig talt får den til at eksplodere af glæde - sammen med hele rumskibet.

    A classic.

    Dark Star is a perfect example of how imagination and clever writing can overcome even the most limited budget. This low-budget B-movie sci-fi comedy, directed by John Carpenter, leans into its constraints and turns them into strengths through sharp satire, absurd situations, and surprisingly inventive special effects. What could have been a throwaway student film instead becomes a cult classic that pokes fun at space exploration, military bureaucracy, and existential dread. The film’s humor is dry, goofy, and often philosophical, particularly in its memorable exchanges involving a sentient bomb pondering the nature of existence. The practical effects, while obviously handmade, are charming and creative, adding to the film’s offbeat personality rather than detracting from it. Dark Star isn’t polished or grand, but it doesn’t need to be. Its wit, originality, and willingness to embrace silliness make it a genuinely fun and rewarding watch—especially for sci-fi fans who appreciate satire and unconventional storytelling.

    Quite boring, nothing much happens. They try to create tension with a few tense situations but it's too boring to care and I was looking forward to the end of it.

    Can see the makings of a great director. Not the best film but has some good carpenter moments.

    Very strange. Enjoyable but very strange.

    Its a campy movie with some good humor. One of those you like to watch knowing it can't match up to anything else, despite how cheesy it can be.

    It's like a bad episode of Red Dwarf

    Watched it with a friend she liked it in a ironic way, didn't hate it but its ancient and not in a treasured classic way.
