The crew is attacked by a sea monster living in the water tanks of Red Dwarf. Only this strange motley crew would have a sea monster problem on board a space craft in deep space. Soon the adventure turns even stranger when they find themselves in another dimension where they are characters in a TV show called Red Dwarf (bet you didn’t expect that).

This is not a reboot of the series, but more like a recycle. If you are a fan of the original Red Dwarf series, this is a good refresher. If you are expecting something new and different, you’ll be disappointed. It’s a new extended episode of the original Red Dwarf show. Don’t take that as a bad thing, it’s still fun to watch. In part 3 of the movie watch for the blatant tribute to Bladerunner. If you’ve seen Bladerunner, you won’t miss it.

If you haven’t watched the series, watch it. It’s smegging fun! All of the seasons can be viewed online through Netflix. No reason to miss out on this unusual Sci-Fi show.

The DVD is based on a 3 part series broadcasted in early 2009. There are plenty of hints in the movie and on the internet of a possible new season. Unfortunately, at this time, they are just rumors

Harvey is a pooka which are mythical mischievous creatures. And Harvey is very mischievous! Together they bring happiness, love and a special philosophy to the audience.

James Steward does an excellent job as the eccentric Dowd, Elwood P. His always present gentle smile and soft spoken manner makes him likeable. Sure he talks to an imaginary 6 foot+ rabbit, but no harm is done. He’s that strange old relative that everyone seems to have, just a bit odd, but so likeable you over look it.
This is a great feel good film. You can’t help feeling good after watching it and even wanting to watch it again. Everyone needs friends like Dowd, Elwood P. and Harvey.

James Stewart was in the stage play of Harvey in London before doing the film. – Special Narrative Introduction March 8, 1990
