It is very much a movie that fit 80s sci-fi and, hence, I was somewhat confused as to how it could be remade thirty years later, let alone turned into a series.Īs you can imagine the series differs from both the movie and the novella in some very significant ways, since it is basically going from a short tale format, to a longer story idea.įirst big difference is the much bigger cast. It is sci-fi with a side of fantasy, because it pushes the whole telekinetic and telepathic parts a little too far too be scientific. The plot moves fast, keeps us involved and entertained, and has enough gore and action to be exciting. The characters are all somewhat stereotypes, but the actors seem to really enjoy themselves playing them, which comes across on the screen. I love it, but it's definitely not high cinema. Nightflyers is a movie that is going for dark and gritty and misses and ends up somewhere on the campy side.
