Witness the powah of this fully operational stellar converter!
Dr. Strangelove's arm does a cameo #monsterdon
I can't believe @jonny is missing this
We lost the jellyfish! #monsterdon
Nestor doesn't have the best tardis control room I've ever seen, unfortunately
What could POSSIBLY happen in 10 more minutes of this movie, my god
#Monsterdon Robert Vaughn's space fighting psychopath was entirely too interesting to last for this entire #movie.
#BattleBeyondTheStars
@allanb You're no fun. In universe, their "forms" have no nipples! This is my head canon. π
NOW! It's the CLIMAX! Show all that great FX footage of ships again ... and again ... and again
holy shit those guys went so hard thats bonkers. sacrificing your own pseudoself and going through the motions of suicide to kill your enemy that is way more than i think anyone expected of painted on third eye joke aliens. im shook
#Monsterdon
The val-KYR-ies are known for the strongest warrior underboob game in the galaxy
I like how the weapons control board that guy is tapping it is clearly an old adding machine.
I'm guessing this is the Death Date run?
#Monsterdon
I don't think it's a very good idea for alien species to open-mouth kiss
Keyboard guy!
#monsterdon
Launch the cicadas! #Monsterdon
I wish I could tell you that this was John Sayles's first script, but that honor goes to "Piranha" (1978).
He went on to write such fare as "Eight Men Out," "Brother From Another Planet," and "The Secret of Roan Inish."
The Ropes. Show her.. NOW.
@falcennial aw thanks <3
it's okay, there's no real need to know what's going on in this movie, it's not like it knows what a story is or anything xD
@Taweret His other arm appeared to be festering and rotting away.
@Newpa_Hasai Even if it weren't underexplained nothing in this movie makes any sense.
@Keiraleesharonart I'm not sure this would make any more sense if you were
#monsterdon The haunted alto-sax of Akiri ships. LOL
alright, the Nestors can stay. they get my vote. #monsterdon
The 3 eyed Datas have failed. #Monsterdon
In which, All is Now Doomed #monsterdon
okay but why did he want that guy's arm?
The arm tries to kill him because it's still part of the distributed organism. David Weber had to have seen this movie. Well I guess that was a spoiler for something late occurring in a very long not very good space opera series that's been published for quite a while now. Whoops.
yeah honestly the remote arm trick, that was pretty good, and would've been a lot better in a better-made film
As long as the lights are blinkin the computers are thinkin
He died as he lived, covered in raspberry jam. #Monsterdon
its like characters from different movies all wandered into he same set
"I never should have brought you here."
Are you talking to the audience? Because we agree. #Monsterdon
I don't think the Valkyrie have nipples.
That was a legit clever bit about no pain tolerance. But I feel like the bandits bio/medical shenanigans were under explained?
Whoa, white man group going for the throat. respect
Ok the glove joke is very funny

ha ha arm transplant fights transplant recipient trope!
Sador has a kink for wanking with an alien arm instead of his own, tragic really....all this genocide....
So to recap: we had a cross-species arm transplant done in the space of about ten seconds
Yeah sure why not
OMG! These dudes are going to be able to control that arm, aren't they?
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars so everyone knows who did the special effects for this movie early in their career right?
These pale hive-mind people obviously have different hair styles under their hoods.
28. According to the credits, the characters in this movie had names
why aren't they fighting right now?
#monsterdon
Itβs good to have skills - brilliant! #Monsterdon
Seven space ships plus bad guys and lots of cockpit shots might be too much for good flow of these space battles. I think the editor is having a headache.
#Monsterdon #BattleBeyondTheStars
"He's good at creating pain. While keeping the person alive."
"It's good to have skills."
HAHAHAHahaha omg that was actually funny
"...that's Doctor Donnie Darko to you.β
The surgeon's name is Doc-o? #Monsterdon
I guess the Nestor are kinda 'drones'.....
okay, "a meal and a place to hide" belongs in a much better movie. #monsterdon
Surely they have some bacta or a cleric who can cast cure light wounds?
I don't know any of these characters enough to feel bad for any of them, but I definitely know I don't feel bad for the mass murderer on the team
Make that meal pizza
"You've never seen a Valkyrie go down."
"Have somebody prepare a meal. From him. Yes, from his corpse."
"No violent ending is beautiful."
"You've never seen a Valkyrie go down."
I stand by what I said earlier: https://don.monster/@ramsey/113818849079208231
βYouβve never seen a valkyrie go downβ
Still laughing uncontrollably at the Bynars' oompa loompa dance. My belly hurts #monsterdon #battlebeyondthestars

π TRIVIA BEYOND THE STARS πͺ
As production was being planned, a Hollywood trade newspaper reported that "John Wayne would star in the film, under the direction of Ingmar Bergman".
No one has admitted being behind the joke.
Checkovs Valkyrie
She has no right nipple
Was that... An actual character beat there? #Monsterdon
They're all ill, QUICK MOAR PROTEIN
Those who live by the sword die by the sword. RIP Zed

Spandex butt shot
Oh, two for one in the spear lauching, nice job!

OK I just figured out old guy with staff is meant to be blind but he sure got some good clanky whacks on that other alien's noggin before he got lasered to death
The protein tank? That's where I keep all my bacon!
Walking flamethrowers.
#Monsterdon I'm melting! I'm melting! What a world!
The protein tanks? Are you going to throw the aliens into your meat vats?
if i survived a directed energy laser blast by jumping over it i would never shut the fuck up about it #monsterdon
bless the strange world of the Kelvin....
No ears will protect their skulls from being spit open
The author John Sayles also wrote Piranha, Alligator and The Howling and the director Murakami made Heavy Metal after. So something else mustβve gone wrong. #monsterdon
oh they're made of firefiles, how pretty!
I'm pretty sure "sonic weapons" cannot be defeated by covering your ears with your hands. Also the immediate mention of a sonar weapon. Are they the same weapon?
They have an LRAD!
"we will all be killed"
and so he was. thank god.
#monsterdon
Yes, squeezing tanks into narrow unmaneuverable trenches is exactly the strategy you should go for
my understanding is that this is supposed to be seven samurai in space but just doesn't really pull it off...
27. According to wikipedia, this movie "receiv[ed] mixed reviews from critics" This means that someone review it positively
Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew
#Monsterdon
@sean Granted this is a marked improvement from earlier
OG Battlestar Galactica phaser fire effects #monsterdon
with a knife to my throat I could not tell you what was happening
This is like a LARP where everyone agrees it'll be faux Star Wars but then insists on building their character around what costume they most want to wear
