The film was imagined as part science fiction, part action and part buddy comedy. Sean Astin was chosen to portray the main character of Stuart Conway. Of the role, Astin has noted that he liked the movie's premise and that "Although they weren't offering much money, the prospect of going to South Africa was appealing to me." Release Slipstream had its world premiere on February 3, 2005 at the London Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Festival. It later screened on SyFy that same month. Reception DVD Talk reviewed Slipstream, writing that "It's not particularly brilliant in any way, but neither is it boring ... and it's a whole helluva lot better than most of the movies bearing the "Sci-Fi Network" banner." Virginia Heffernan criticized the movie as "a bust", as she felt that it was a "handsome but vacuous caper movie". David Nusair of Reel Film was similarly critical, noting a kill from the villain midway through Slipstream that they stated was the "sort of jaw-dropping incompetence that quickly sinks Slipstream, a sci-fi film with a decent premise but little else.
