Sci-Fi Classic Review: DARK STAR (1974)

John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon set out to make a short sci-fi film during their time at USC. Instead, they left the college and turned their short film into a theatrically-released feature-length movie that went on to become a cult hit that is still popular today.

If you're looking for a "review" in the traditional sense, then let me just say I like this movie. This video, however, is a "review" in the literal sense (using the Miriam-Webster definition "a retrospective view or survey"), in that I'm going over the history of the film and its place in sci-fi cinema history.

In other words, please stop commenting on how my videos aren't what you consider "reviews."
