   I've just watched the film Darkstar for the first time; very odd film...
   It's got to be partially inspiration for lots of things; the trope of interacting with the computer in the computer room , the trope of starting with a communication from Earth that explains everything. etc
   (This was desperation of using my free trial month of Prime...)

     @penguin42 Do you know all the "later credits by the creative team" stuff? Definitely you can see the influence later

     @penguin42 Well, no spoilers from me, but if you look them up, I expect there'll be some "aha" moments.

     It still feels like a student/beginner film in a number of ways (I think it was literally an expansion of a film-school project), but it absolutely has a bunch of moments and entire sequences that stand out for being original, interesting, well-executed and such.

     Nice ideas unvarnished are far preferable to no ideas with a lot of glitz in my book....
