John Carpenter’s Dark Star (4K Ultra HD)

John Carpenter’s Dark Star4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Restored)Genre: DramaLabel: Fabulous FilmsDescription: From John Carpenter (Halloween The Thing) and Dan O'Bannon (Alien Total Recall) comes this brilliantly clever and darkly funny parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Dark Star follows a dysfunctional intergalactic mission where four bored astronauts are assigned to destroy unstable planets - but end up filling their time with sun-lamp tanning playing with a mischievously plastic-looking alien mascot and conversing with their ship's increasingly erratic AI. As the mission unravels a rogue smart bomb gains self-awareness and starts questioning its existence believing itself to be a god. With catastrophe looming only one crew member - an ex-surfer - finds an unorthodox way to return to Earth: riding a piece of debris back home like a cosmic surfboard.
