(T)Raumschiff Surprise - Periode 1 (2004)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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.

I just so loved this movie.As the first one also: Der Schuh Des Manitu. The three actors: Christian Tramitz, Bully and Rick Kavanian are just super. On this movie they successfully brought back the feeling of their legendary and amazing TV-show: Bullyparade. The performance of them is amazing and really funny, and their voice, i love it.(Everybody must watch this movie in original German, thats the best) I watched it a hundred times, but i cant get bored with it. Many of the great vignettes come back from the Bullyparades Traumschiff surprise, but they don't make the mistake making the same again. Its great to see commitments to the previously film (Sky Dumont, Jim and Jack), and Till Schweiger was also a great choice for the role of Rock. Usually the drama-actors are in the spotlight, but its also very hard to make a good comedy. They did it, i just love this German-sense of humor. 10/10

"(T)Raumschiff Surprise" is sometimes funny, sometimes hilarious but it is also embarrassingly stupid at times. It has some new jokes but what I found shocking is that some of the jokes were "borrowed" (from Austin Powers; Loriot,...). So really you have creative ideas and funny and original jokes but in the same scene you have old or plagiarized jokes and gags that are complete misses.I like Bully and I think he is funny, loved "Der Schuh des Manitu". There was a huge hype around this movie and when I finally saw it I was disappointed as the movie did not deliver. About a year after watching it the first time, I watched it again and I laughed about 5 times and smiled maybe another 10 times. I remember laughing quite a bit the first time I watched it but even back then I found it disappointing.This movie is not quite as bad as the IMDb-rating (5.4) suggests but way worse than the hype around it makes you believe it is. (Most of the time my ratings for a movie are below the IMDb-average so me rating it the same as the average voter while saying it deserves a higher score is not a contradiction. Hope you can follow.) ** 5.5/10 **

Yeah, so, I'm not German (though I do speak it)...The humour is not inherently German (i.e. there is some!), but it is funny. Very, very funny. Bully started with "Der Schuh des Manitu", and that was a poor German ape of Blazing Saddles... but this is different. For a start the special effects make you wonder how Star Wars I-III managed to spend their significantly larger budget. They're good. There's something almost British about the comedic understatement and dead-pan delivery. A knowledge of colloquial German is useful though.The "icon" of the movie, the gay trio of Kirk (Kork), Spock (Spuck) and the other one (it isn't clear which Star Trek character he's meant to be), is the weakest point of the flick, but fortunately it is a minor intrusion. There is plenty of wit, spoofing and entertainment besides. Til Schweiger is excellent - a German Bruce Willis, maybe? Perhaps, as an Auslander, I find this movie more endearing than I should, but I highly recommend it.Mopsgeschwindigkeit!

This movie was somehow slipped into the lineup at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. It was one of the few late 11 pm showings and the other late showings were all good so I took this one in. They took what might be a funny 4 minute television comedy sketch and stretched it out into a hour and a half long feature film.The special effects scenes are one of the few redeeming values of this movie. Actually the movie had a good look to it in the fact that it seemed like they spent some money on it's overall production but my question was why? Why would anyone go to the bother of making this movie and for who? Out of about 400 people in the theater I heard maybe 2-3 laughing out out loud which made me wonder if the they were shills paid by the filmmakers to encourage the audience to laugh. When it was over I thought to myself, was that the worst movie I've ever seen? Well, admittedly I did smile at a few scenes and the old Star Wars-style effects looked good and just for making me think that it may have been the worst movie I ever saw made me give them some credit.
