But the galaxy just ain't what it used to be, as you can see from this clip from Humanity's End.

Last year, we predicted Humanity's End would be the B movie of the year, and now that it's out on DVD, it seems like we underestimated it considerably. Featuring crazy-ass CG space battles that look fully video game identified, and some amazing dialogue (like the kickass female pilot says, "We keep flying. And they keep dying.") And great character development, like then the last true human alive tells his girlfriend that if she's got a rash, she must have gotten it elsewhere because he's clean. All wrapped up in a blanket of Firefly and BSG influences.

<![CDATA["Humanity's End" — Best B-Movie of Next Year]]> What makes Humanity's End our pick for best straight-to-video movie coming in 2009? Might be the Space 1999-looking spaceships in this trailer, or the mega-awesome voiceover that intones dramatically, "In the far reaches of the galaxy, a dark force has risen." Or maybe it's the premise of the flick, which is that the "last man in the galaxy" has been found on a remote planet, even though the trailer is full of tons of humans. (OK, maybe they are cyborgs or something.) Maybe it's the pure goofy scale of the movie — the giant robots, the fleets of spacecraft, the post-apocalyptic interiors full of gleaming dust. Whatever it is, we are strapped in and ready to launch into full appreciation mode for the perfectly-titled cheeseterpiece Humanity's End when it hits DVD in six months. [via Quiet Earth]
