The crew of the Dark Star are on a 20 year mission to clear a path in space by destroying planets that are in the way of navigation routes. While waiting to reach their destination, they indulge in various pranks. Unfortunately, a damaged weapons system renders their mission is completely useless.
Hats off nonetheless to young whippersnapper John Carpenter, whose studenty tale of space tedium, aliens and molasses-black humour remains approximately a thousand times better than the director's last 15 years.
By introducing human eccentricities into the cold structure of SF, Carpenter creates a vision of the technological future that is both disillusioned and oddly affirmative in its insistence on the unscientific survival of emotional frailty.
