OUTERWORLD Trailer
A rare gem, the world-building independent 80's science fiction film, Outerworld is much more than the sum of its parts. A must for fans of scale-built models.

Writer/director/cinematographer/editor/special effects designer Philip Cook is known for throwing himself into his movies. This is more than just another indie science fiction flick, it contains great action and thrills, good characters, a lot of heart, and a wealth of imagination. The effects work is simply stunning and really helps augment the world of intrigue, greed, and hope found in the story. The backdrops are especially dazzling, including the detailed miniatures, though Cook never gets overindulgent and concentrates on them for too long. In fact, one of the most rewarding parts of this production is that the characters always come first, despite the inventive effects and CGI work. Maybe Hollywood can’t figure that equation out but Cook seems to do it with every film that he makes. He makes movies about people. True, his characters are often engaged in incredible circumstances, but that doesn’t negate the fact that the front burner issues in the stories are Cook’s interesting mediations about humanity.
CultCuts Films -- Craig Hamman
This imaginative outer-space tale traverses the galaxy, offering three different planetary environments, aerial dogfights, and a climactic duel with atomic warheads…provides a number of thrills, and neither the filmmakers nor viewers can say they didn't get their money's worth.
TV Guide.com
Philip Cook, an industrial filmmaker in the Washington area has turned out three live-action science-fiction gems [OUTERWORLD, INVADER & DESPISER] that contain entire fantasy universes worthy of C.S. Lewis….
Joe Bob Briggs -- United Press International
I was so often left in awe of Cook's ambitious vision….In every frame there's something new to blow your mind. If I thought [DESPISER] showed gusto, then it's nothing compared to OUTERWORLD.

Outerworld is good fun and you can’t really ask more than that. The leads are likeable, the plot is internally consistent and there are some interesting quirks that make it stand out from the morass of the 1980s science fiction boom. Most importantly, Cook’s reworking of the film nearly 20 years later works to make it better, unlike a certain trilogy of big budget ‘special editions’ which seemed to just have new effects inserted at random irrespective of whether they added anything or not.

What OUTERWORLD* lacks in budget it makes up for in imagination, and many sci-fi buffs will appreciate that. OUTERWORLD* does what all good science fiction does, that is, piques the imagination of the viewer, and while it’s no 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, there are some eye-catching special effects as well.

About the Production
The year is 2074. Corporations rival nation states for power. A beautiful superbeing, Pentan (Tracy Davis) is genetically engineered by Kuriyama Enterprises as a corporate assassin and covert agent. She is assigned to intercept information on the find of the century: the location of an abandoned alien spacecraft. The secrets contained by a similar alien ship discovered years earlier changed the world and made its finders wealthy beyond their dreams. Pentan out-wits those who created and enslaved her and steals their information. With the aid of Harold Brickman (Hans Bachman), a freelance space jockey, they flee to Inisfree to seek the help of scientist Robert Thorton (Rick Foucheaux). He is the only man who can disarm the nanite-bomb implanted in Pentan’s head. Pursued by Kuryama’s massive star cruiser Promethian with its deadly fighter craft, Pentan and Brickman narrowly evade capture and continue their flight to Elysium, site of the abandoned spacecraft. Along the way, they begin to form a bond, stirring emotions that Pentan was trained to emulate – not experience. In a tense star fighter battle above the planet Elysium, Pentan duels her creators for the fate of her friend, her freedom and new found alien derelict.
After a successful debut at the Cannes Film Festival, OUTERWORLD was televised on the Sci-Fi Channel in the 90s under the title of STAR QUEST: BEYOND THE RISING MOON. Originally shot on film, this upgraded version of the movie has been digitally re-mastered, re-edited and tightened considerably. It has also been re-scored; re-mixed and has had 70% of its visual effects digitally enhanced. Several new scene embellishments and visual effects sequences have been added expanding the scale of this outer space adventure. Rated PG, OUTERWORLD contains no nudity, profanity, blood or monsters but rather features lots of chases, futuristic environments and space ship battles where a lot of things that blow up. OUTERWORLD is ready for its DVD debut worldwide.
Midway through our adventure, Pentan and Brickman travel to Skyhouse, center of a massive terraforming operation on the planet Inisfree. There they race to meet Robert Thornton (Rick Foucheux) her genetic designer. Perhaps he can disarm the nanite bomb implanted in her head.
