Low-budget story of four astronauts in deep space, whose mission is to
destroy unstable planets in star systems which are to be colonised.
Dark Star began as just a student film, but after being extended and released to the cinemas in 1974, it is still clear to see its imprint in science fiction. From the Alien franchise to the British sitcom Red Dwarf, the idea of a realistically dull existence on board a space ship in deep space has become almost crucial to the genre. It also premiered the idea of the ship having its own "mother" role, which allows it to turn murderous if needed, as well as giving it a calm, unemotional voice.
