A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Roman Sampson
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I've seen some stinkers in my time and I have no idea why I watched this, I think assuming it was a recent sci-fi film I couldn't go wrong. How wrong I was! It has the feel that someone made a bet they could make a film in a week with £100 budget and this was the result! All bad films I've seen generally have at least one thing I can say positive but unfortunately I'd struggle with this one. The script is incredibly dire and pointless, it would of made just as much sense as if I was watching a foreign film without subtitles. The acting is wooden but no doubt is due to the fact the script is so bad there wasn't any room to 'act'. Although it has to be said that Sean Patrick Flanery really deserves some kind of bad acting award as the choice of voice (a kind of Jack Bauer husky growl) and the constant wrinkled confused look on his face is annoying to the nth degree.The set design is non existent, more like someone went down the city dump and grabbed a load of old CRT and computer keyboards and stuck them everywhere. The lighting is simply too bright in most cases, if they were to simply turn most of the lights off they'd probably end up with something a lot more sinister and moodier. The CG looks like it was done on a home PC with free software. Some of the stills of the spaceships look okay but as soon as they move...oh dear. Also there is no ambient light in space, everything should be harsh shadows and yet against the pitch black of space the dark side of the spaceships are gray! Green-screen when the 'actors' are superimposed look awful, with blurry halos around everything. Sound was very lackluster, I don't recall anything adding to the ambiance or tension of the scenes.I didn't have the willpower to watch the whole film in one go but no film has ever beat me so I forced myself to finish it. The one redeeming thing about the film is I film privileged that I have now watched the worse film I've every seen. Thank you for that.

The first few seconds of the first scene of this movie will tell you all that you need to know about 'Scavengers'. A close up of an astronauts face as they back away. It is done so horribly, it looked like something that would be found in an early 80's bad sci fi movie.They say the words "scavenge" and all suffix permutations so frequently, that one simply must take a drink of an alcoholic beverage every time they are spoken. You will get drunk quickly though, but that may be one of the only ways you can glean enjoyment from this film.The acting is seriously bad. One might think this is an intentional irony, but I cannot give this movie enough credit for that possibility.The script is even worse. Insulting is likely the best way to describe the script in a single word.The direction... well somebody has to take responsibility for this mess. Whoever directed this is likely to be using a pseudonym. Somebody had to be telling people what to do. Though I think whoever was must have been heavily intoxicated on numerous forms of drugs.I am willing to bet that not a single person in the entire crew has watched this entire movie, and the only reason why I did was because I could not take my eyes away from the train wreck unraveling before me.Now, there is redemption to this movie, but you have to be the type of person who enjoys an unhealthy dose of schadenfreude. Taking joy from the failure of others. If you are that sort of person, then you will howl with laughter as you roll your eyes and smack yourself in the head over how utterly stupid this movie is.And for that reason, I predict a minor cult following for this movie. I know I had to alert my friends who enjoy such insipid fare as "Lake Placid" that they had to watch scavengers with me since they inflicted lake placid upon me. Mutual torture is only fair.TL;DR: This is a truly bad movie in nearly every way. The only thing good about it, is cruelly laughing at the cast whose careers have sunk to the point of being included in this utter turd of cinematic suicide.

In a universe where everything is called a "protocol," can people who (apparently) can keep regenerating, no matter how often or messily they get killed, find any emotional meaning in anything? Nope.I have to admit, I was well into fast-forward mode by the time the first crew member regenerated, but at least it explained why his sweetheart didn't freak out when he exploded and covered her with blood and tissue. Instead, she stood there with a disgusted expression as if she'd just been in a foot fight, or someone dropped a paint-filled water balloon on her head. So I don't know what the whole regeneration sub-plot was about, but at the end there's all this emotional angst because the cute lady co-captain (I think) dies of a gunshot wound, and then in the last scene she's back as well, safe and sound (and even regenerated the same costume without bloodstains or bullet holes) so what's the big fuss? Did anyone watch this mess carefully enough to figure that out? I was mildly curious, but not enough to rewind it and watch a single extra frame again to find out.I wonder if they just put a bunch of actors together on the sets and had them make up their lines? So almost everything you have heard about how bad this movie is, is true. I don't think it's quite the worst science fiction movie I've ever seen. That would probably be Dracula 3000. This one actually seems to end the way someone intended it to end, stupid as that ending may be, instead of just stopping because they ran out of film or time or drugs or . . . something. But that said, this one is still right there nipping at Dracula 3000's heels.

Possibly one of the worst movies ever made, seriously, acting is ridiculously bad, manuscript feels like it being made up while filming, Sean Patrick Flanery has an extreeeeeemly annoying way of wrinkle his nose (like a rabbit) throughout the whole movie, possibly trying to look angry, but more looks, yeah like a rabbit. The CGI is made on somebody's iPad I think. Films like this should not be made. I rather watch Dinoshark... Don't waste your time here guys, I actually created an account here on IMDb just to tell you this. It is a waste of time. A whole heap of funding that could have gone for something good. Nothing else....
