Worst I've seen so far this year.

A Mother of No Destination isn't very good. I watch a lot of horror and sci-fi and I can enjoy a good movie even if it's bad, but there are limits.

This film is extremely slow. Acting is weird. Computer generated effects look like a Power Point presentation from the 80's and the story is really old. Sound is terrible and ranges from a whisper to a scream.

I suspected the worst already from the opening credits. Fancy lettering taking forever to spell the words. Then seeing one of the characters walking (also forever) in a funny way (and then back again) made me believe it was a comedy, but if it was it wasn't very funny.

To be honest I haven't tried it myself, but I would expect it to be extremely hard to torch a building made from concrete and steel by pouring gasoline on the outside of it. Somebody ought to tell the director.

If you sit through it all watch for the looping space outside the space ship. The stars move only to jump right back to where they started over and over again.

A Mother of No Destination could easily have been trimmed down from 66 to 33 minutes by just shortening the scenes. This wouldn't necessarily have made the movie any better, but it would have made it less boring.
