★★★★ · you have got to be kidding me · letredgo · 2010-05-06

I have just watched this movie and i do not know if anyone noticed but the movie sound track at the start was also used by the UK Kids TV program the TOMORROW PEOPLE (mid late 1970'S) when the teleporting kids had to put the world to sleep in the episode called the Blue and the Green and the thing this tells me is that i must get out more. The film by the way is a seminal piece of SFI trash in the best tradition and i love it but the tells me something else but that's another story.

This movie, unlike the last several Star Wars films, is actually interesting, entertaining, and cost a lot less to make. If you prefer watching Jar Jar and other video game graphics pretending to be special photographic effects, then put on a plastic smile, snag a happy meal, and go buy some action figures. George Lucas (and his wallet) will love you for it.

★★ · Star Drek · cubist1234 · 2012-03-03

This film is a strange one, worse than a poor third season episode of Star Trek, with a strange mix of Space 1999 costumes and special effects far inferior to the Flash Gordon movies of the 1930s. It is American science fiction run through a weird and incoherent European prism. For some reason I had to watch it through to the end.

First off, Sandra shouldn't get on Willy Wolf's back for quoting Pearl's description of "Track of the Moon Beast" for an episode of MST3K. Instead, Sandra should watch that show more. How Joel, Mike and the 'bots missed trashing this gem is a mystery only equaled by the fact that the entire production crew went back to work making SEQUELS to this dreck! Gotta give it an extra star for the outrageous costumes. If the Italians would have just stuck to fashion and fast cars, they could have re-established the Roman Empire by now.

★★ · Interesting but.... · Blade_Runner · 2010-10-06

Interesting movie... but why do all the minorities need to die at the end. The Black guy, the Asian girl and the alien are the only characters that perish is the last ten minutes.

If I were to believe what others view as bad or good in a movie, by judging by all various reviews here. I would probably be locked up by now. There's no bad movies out there, they all contribute to to something in life. My personal opinion which I am entirely entitled to.
