  Earth ain't so easy for these space habitat gamers and the multiverse repairman who must send them home. Smart, fun, campy, original, out-of-this-world entertainment--well worth the ride!

• Fun sci-fi

  Flashout is a fun and funny campy ride into the multiverse. If you like sci-fi with a sense of humor you'll enjoy it. Jonathan Goldstein is great as the Repairman. Good FX for an independent film but it also has a story so it's not just FX like some sci-fi movies. Hot chicks flashing out, what's not to like?

  Flashout is a cute indie production that deftly mixes faux quantum physics, multiverse theory and a multi-orgasmic romp into a package that manages to deliver a number of laughs without seeming excessively contrived or tedious. This is not an A-lister, big budget film, and those who participated in its creation clearly had that firmly in mind as they crafted this silly sci-fi adventure. This film does not try to be anything other than what it is, and by keeping in its lane, it managed to hold my attention and provide a reasonable amount of (mindless) entertainment. At times, the dialogue and plot were nonsensical, both intentionally and unintentionally, and likewise, at times the acting was thin on skill - but the film held itself together well enough to be watchable until the end. There were moments of high-camp greatness where the film seemed to be a distant offspring of silly classics like 'Dude where's my car" and "Barbarella", but alas this was not sustained consistently - if Flashout had managed that feat, I would have scored it a solid 6. Not one to put high on your "must watch" list, but leave it somewhere on there for a grey, rainy day.
