Night of the falling stars is a movie that has its flaws. But despite all that I was entertained throughout.
It takes elements from other movies: Deadpool is the first that comes to mind. But the beauty is that it doesn't choose a style and sticks with it. This is a Jazz-like production where you don't know what happens next.
I also have the feeling that they asked the actors to bring their cars. This, because the plates have been removed, with the attachment still clearly visible.
Also the make up shows it's been run on a budget. All in all i'm impressed what they did with the things at their disposal. Sadly the sound editing made it unwatchable without captions.
I'm not saying this is the new Citizen Kane, it makes for a good laugh, and for me its a cult status movie that is going to rival The Room in my families "weird movie night" routine.

Did the best what they could with the budget
As campy as you would expect...
Well, it is hardly any surprise that I wasn't harboring much of any expectations to this 2021 sci-fi movie titled "Night of the Falling Stars". But still, I opted to watch it and give it a fair chance, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, nor actually heard about priot to sitting down to watch it.
Writers Charles Morris Jr. And Bobby Peoples put together a fairly straight forward storyline, I will say that much. Sure, it was a somewhat generic storyline at that, but in all fairness there was something oddly campy and enjoyable about the concept.
Now, "Night of the Falling Stars" was hardly an outstanding movie. Yet, I managed to sit through all 86 minutes of it. However, I was only partially entertained by the movie. And believe you me, when I say that this is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing.
The acting performances in "Night of the Falling Stars" were semi-adequate. It was a bit surprising to see the likes of Robert Davi and Paul Logan in a movie such as this.
Visually then "Night of the Falling Stars" felt like a cheesy low budget sci-fi movie. Oh wait... Right.
I am sure that there is something enjoyable in "Night of the Falling Stars" for the die hard sci-fi fans out there, especially if you enjoyed the 1950s and 1960s sci-fi features.
My rating of "Night of the Falling Stars" lands on a three out of ten stars.
