Where we shelve this film
Space opera
Starships, strange empires and extravagant adventures far beyond Earth.
Camp & cult comedy
Exaggeration, bizarre ideas and a very particular sense of humour.
Our genre tags are curated classifications. These descriptions explain the shelf, not the film’s plot.
From the editors
An exhausted spacecraft crew destroys unstable planets while routine, an unruly alien and a thinking bomb undermine its mission. Dark Star turns space adventure into a workplace comedy. Our pick for exploring cosmic distances with a very dry sense of humour.
Our guide’s house opinion
Cosmic downtime after work. Our way into charmingly sideways space.
An affectionate house opinion, not an audience score or an age rating.
