A comedic drama about a group of people (and several robots) living on a space station in a 1970’s-version of the future. When a new Assistant Captain arrives, she inadvertently ignites tensions among the crew, prompting them to confront their darkest secrets. Barely contained lust, jealousy, and anger all bubble to the surface, becoming just as dangerous as the asteroid that’s heading right for them.

Space Station 76 Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Paul Magne Haakonsen Now, this was something else. Weird, very weird, I tell you."Space Station 76" was definitely something in a league of its own. So is that good or bad? Well, that depends on what you expect from the movie. If you expect to see something so unique that it outranks anything else in most other movies, then good. If you expect a proper comedy with great entertainment value and laughs, then not so good.I was expecting the latter, so I wasn't impressed with the outcome of "Space Station 76". Sure, the movie had an amazing cast ensemble and a really good production value, but it just lacked proper entertainment worth to keep me amused and entertained. Yeah, I did manage to stick with the movie to the very end, but solely to see what happened to the people, not because it was such a captivating movie that I just had to finish it.The characters in "Space Station 76" were incredibly colorful and varied. Which definitely helped the movie along quite well. And they managed to capture that 1970s feeling and atmosphere quite well, both in designs of the space station, clothing and wardrobe, and characters alike, so that was also a big plus.I had expected the movie to be more funny than it turned out to be. And I wasn't even laughing throughout the course of the movie, so that counted against the movie experience as a whole.I think that "Space Station 76" is something of an acquired taste, and thus it will not have such a great appeal to everyone in the audience.But still, I am rating it five out of ten stars, solely because of its production value, its cast and its ability to capture that groovy atmosphere. But it just lacked entertainment value for me, hence the mediocre rating.
Ddey65 Believe it or not, this movie has a lot in common with the Beach Party Movies of the 1960's, in the sense that only certain people born in a specific era will get it. Fortunatley, having been born in the 1960's, I'm one of those people. The fact that it was co-written by many of the cast-members, most of them from the same generation probably has an affect on it's quality. Having said that, once I saw it it took some time for me to get into the movie. Contrary to what you may have read, this movie doesn't take place in the 1970's, but is instead a representation of the future that we thought would take place in the 1970's. It contains futuristic space travel with home appliances that pre-date the election of Ronald Reagan.Jessica Marlowe (Liv Tyler) is a Lieutenant who has just arrived on a refueling station in space named Omega 76. She has been assigned to co-pilot the station along with Captain Glenn Terry (Patrick Wilson), who seems a little too uncomfortable around the opposite sex. This is because he's not a male chauvinist, but a closeted homosexual who spends much of the movie trying to commit suicide rather than deal with a fling he had with one of his crew members. Among them are Ted (Matt Bowman) and Misty (Marisa Coughlan), who have a lonely little daughter named "Sunshine" (Kylie Rogers). Ted is a mechanic who has what is considered an old-fashioned mechanical hand and smokes a lot of pot, which at one point makes him see a naked woman floating outside of the window of the station who's face morphs into Lt. Marlowe. Misty is the nutritionist who spends most of her time getting Valium from a robot shrink named "Dr. Bot," who spends much of its time spouting psycho babble and random catch-phrases. Poor little Sunshine just wants a friend she can play with, whether it's a pet or another kid. She tries a pregnant gerbil, but the gerbil eats her babies. She tries to spend time with the baby of another couple, but they won't let her. Jennifer gives her a cryogenically frozen puppy, but her pill-popping mommy screws that up too.Then there's Steve (Jerry O'Connell) and Donna ("Liv and Maddie's" Kali Rocha). Steve is the ship sex fiend who would screw anything with two legs and a vagina. He's not only doing his wife (Lucky bastard!), but also Misty, and would take Jennifer to the bedroom if he had the chance. We can only hope that he won't be around when Sunshine finishes going through puberty. Donna is pretty, but is selfish and materialistic as she neglects her newborn baby, and at the same time keeps Sunshine from visiting her out of fear that she'll give the kid germs. The crew is all loaded with their own neuroses, and their own selfish interests... so much so that they don't even realize a meteor is heading towards the station. The same meteor that the captain's ex-lover could've prevented them from encountering.The soundtrack is primarily filled with the mellow hits of Todd Rundgren, but also has some late Neil Sedaka and leftover Spanky and Our Gang. It's typical of the existentialist sci-fi of movies like "Silent Running," the kind of sci-fi movies after "2001: A Space Odyssey" and before "Star Wars." It even has Keir Dullea as Jessica's dad. The movie is also an example of why many people wanted to get away from the 1970's. It was a decade that spent so much time trying to deal with it's feelings that it never dealt with real problems. In a sense, it's the reason movies ranging from "Star Wars" to "National Lampoon's Animal House" had to happen. It was a representation of a time when we were afraid to take action against real dangers because we were conditioned to believe the dangers only existed in our minds. Think of the Saturday Night Live skit where John Belushi played a mobster in group therapy, and you'll get the idea. It's the kind of mentality that kept us from defending ourselves and our friends against bullies on the school playground, building the highways that would've reduced our traffic jams, prevented us from facing the fact that we were right about the communist threat in Korea, Indochina, and elsewhere, and kept us from taking action against the People's Temple in Jonestown, and the jihadists in Iran when they took over the U.S. Embassy.
IndiscriminateThrilling This film has a lot of elements going for it.The '70s theme is unique and enjoyable. Starting with a futuristic setting, but then infusing it with sights, sounds, and colors of the '70s, was a good move. It isn't a version of the future as envisioned by the media of the time. Rather, it simply is the 1970s... but in space. What few new technologies exist, are done in period style. It works.The casting is excellent. Patrick Wilson really steals the show though. The believability is there, and so is the comedic timing.Unfortunately, the end does not bring the sort of resolution you'd expect from a motion picture. In fact, it's downright disappointing. It feels more like the pilot to a TV series -- a potentially awesome TV series. A good film experience should leave you wanting more. But there's also a such thing as not enough, and this one falls into that latter category. There is way to much wasted opportunity and too many loose ends here.It doesn't feel complete on it's own. But should they feel like adding another installment, count me in.
TheNew Neandertalien This movie is an ugly proselytism piece, or "a commercial".Tobacco industry proselytes smoking;Pharma industry proselytes anti-depressant, notably the product named "Valium";The Propagandist Cabal proselytes: promiscuity, infidelity, recreational drug use, omnipresence of homosexuality.All this is being proselyted to you, stupid cattle-citizen.Nothing else matter here, even the pair of good actors. The verdict: 1) do not pay for this; 2) watch only for research purposes. The object of research being the collusion of Hollywood with the ideological Propagandist Cabal and the legal narcotics industries that the Propagandist Cabal owns.
