OneEightNine Media Critters 4 I love El Rey network because they're always showing strange stuff like this fun little movie. And I'm pretty sure Jason X, the Friday the 13th movie that takes place in space, totally ripped off the plot of Critters 4. I think they're both put out by the same studio which makes it even funnier but whatever. Like I was saying before, this is a stupid but fun movie. I can not believe IMDb is ranking it so low. I am going to slap a ten out of ten on this ranking just to balance out the average.

bowmanblue Yes, those nasty killer rolling fur-balls did technically come from space, so seeing them back there isn't that much of a stretch. However, it does just seem like a bit of a gimmick by the film-makers to try and keep a – slightly – tired horror film franchise going.Critters 4 was made back to back with Critters 3 (a fact that you'll probably have guessed if you watched the 'in-credits' scene that preceded Marvel's in-credits scenes by nearly twenty years), therefore it does follow on perfectly. The last of the Crites' eggs are sent up into space, but naturally they hatch and cause mayhem. Basically, if you've seen one 'monster-on-a-spaceship' film made after 'Alien' then it's basically like this. Or, another way to describe it would be a 'slasher/monster film in space.' You have a load of disposable characters who are there to be killed off by the escaped Crites, a few that you're supposed to care about (but probably don't!) and Charlie – the only major character who's been in all four movies (and this time he's been given top billing!). He's just about the only person you'll care about, as he's from 'our' time and is even more of a fish out of water in space than he is on Earth. However, one good actor can't really help how mundane the overall package is. It just feels rather cheap overall. The sets all look – well – like a set! And I read online that some of the external shots of space and spaceships have been reused from a previous sci-fi movie.As I've said, if you've seen any monster-in-space film made after 'Alien' then you'll probably have seen this, or better, as it will give you all you need to know about the genre. The kills aren't much to write home about and long time fans of the franchise may disapprove of the way they've changed one of the other long-running characters (or was that just me?). If you love the Critters franchise that much, you may like this. I own it because I have the four disc DVD box set, so I kind of watch it out of duty when I've already seen the first two (same could be said for the third, but this one doesn't even have Leo as a kid to laugh at).

khono The plot's whatever. The sets are hilarious! They're worse than Babylon 5! I see industrial skids, just saw a garden hose wind-up thingy. The drawers and shelves look like they were bought at Walmart. That scene in the garbage chute XD.Think of this movie as a parody of much prettier (but equally ridiculous) space operas and you'll have a good time :)Not much else to say about it. Angela Bassett shows her butt. Ludicrous death scenes mixed with some horrible acting and the worst creature effects ever will have you laughing your socks off if you don't take it seriously. Terrific B horror movie to watch and mock.Best quote from the movie: "Thank you but I'm not allowed to accept compliments from waste material."

Jan Strydom At this point the CRITTERS series has pretty much lost its flare, this entry seemed to have taken itself more seriously because there was virtually no humor where the other films each had a fair share, the Crites never once shoot their trademark darts so the writers seem to have forgotten to add that small little detail and there is very little excitement because there's barely anything that happens.On the plus side the acting was good all around and the script wasn't exactly terrible but the fact that this film leaves out certain key elements like I mentioned before is probably the film's biggest downfall, because for a film that has three others to live up to, this was rather disappointing.The only thing that kept the film from being a total waste was the good performances by the cast, its not a bad movie and its mainly and okay entry but fails to reach any of the previous films due to the fact that several notable elements were left out.
