Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

MisterWhiplash Prince of Space is made by a filmmaker I've never heard of with a cast that I'll probably never see in any other movie. As one of the Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys comments "it's one of Godzilla's days off." But for what it's worth, Prince of Space is a lot of fun, in the most undeniably cheesy way possible, like cheese-balls or cheese-whiz out of can with Mr. Sparkle on the cover. It's about aliens landing on Earth, taking some scientists, and plotting destruction- but Prince of Space, in an outfit designed by a blind leper, will come to the rescue! Granted, this is, in all intents and purposes from its home planet, or country, a kids movie. The kids are obviously the heroes for the little ones watching it, or would've watched it back in the 50s. It features space-ships made out of plastic spoons, blaster guns that showcasing the finest of Japanese special effects of the period (sorry for the sarcasm, it's deserved), and has an unlikely cheery ending.The recommendation I would give- in a sort of classic bad-B-movie way, comes also by way of it being available through MSTK3. It's a little like a trade-off with a movie like this, which is pleasant. Instead of the only pleasure being derived by the wisecracks, puns, pop-culture references, brief sing-along, and the occasional "when will this movie frigging end" looks on a movie that is bad in an irredeemable way ala Monster-a-go-go, this has the laughs coming at both sides. You might laugh at the stupid noses of the aliens, or Prince of Space's costume itself, or at some random, stupid line "you're weapons cannot defeat me!", or at the commentary track. It makes for a fun viewing, even if the movie in and of itself has no artistic reason for being aside from a cheap cash-in on sci-fi flicks for kids. It's like eating a box of extra sugary cereal from a company that's about to go bankrupt- and with Tom Servo, Crow and Mike Nelson at the helm on the sidelines!

lemon_magic ...the results would still make more sense than "Prince Of Space".Let me see if I can summarize the events in this film:POS:"Your weapons have NO effect on me!!!" Krankor: "Kill him!! Fire!!!" Later: POS: "No, seriously, your weapons have NO effect on me!!!" Krankor: "FIRE! Kill him!!!" Later yet: POS: "Aren't you listening? YOUR WEAPONS HAVE NO EFFECT OF ME!!!" Krankor: "Destroy him! Fire!!" Even Later Yet: POS: "Are you COMPLETELY BRAIN DEAD? YOUR WEAPONS W-O-N-T W-O-R-K!!!!!" Krankor: "Ya SCUM! Kill him! Fire!!!" (Lather- Rinse - Repeat....)All right, I realize, right up front, that POS was obviously some kind of television serial thing intended for Japanese children.Someone must have taken 3 or 4 episodes of the show and then edited them down into something resembling a 'movie'. And I am reasonably sure that in the original format and in the original Japanese, this stuff may have been juvenile and cheesy, but also harmless fun. So I maintain that we can't completely blame Japan for the finished product that appeared on our shores. But still. This is one of the worst dubbing/translation jobs in the history of cinema. I kid you not - the only one I can recall that even compares is one of the later "Gamera" films where the dubbing actors obviously didn't understand English and read the whole script phonetically. It's just astoundingly bad - you couldn't get worse lines and readings if you'd hired a dozen MOnty Python style "Gumby" characters for your voice talent.And even for a juvenile television serial, every production choice, will have you dropping your jaw in befuddlement. The producers wanted the villains to not intimidate or scare their young audience, so they chose to make them 'chicken men' dressed in white leotards, with long spirit-gum noses, knee goiters, etc. And then, because they secretly hate children and wanted to scar them emotionally , they had Krankor, the chief bad guy, run around in a body stocking with his 'landing gear' swinging free and easy. I'm almost fifty years old, and I can't tell you how upsetting this is. And the whole film is like this. The Krankor warship is a roast turkey with decals. The Prince-Of-Space cruiser is a Norelco Nose Hair Trimmer with pipe cleaners. The Guardian looks like a WWE reject whose nose-and-ear hair got out of control. The Prince looks like a rejected extra in a Ken Russell film about Zorro. It's all just dopey and goofy beyond comprehension. If you have any tolerance for silly, stupid, cinema, this movie will make you laugh until you pass out.

kilgore2345 Prince of Space, not much need to summarize the plot, since many people do a nice enough job of it.There is a major dysfunction of this film that really bothers me. That dysfunction that is like a hair in my mouth is Prince's invulnerability to the same laser guns that fry other human beings. Never in this film is his ability to do this explained. We are led to believe that he is a simple man, which gets by on simple means. Yet, somehow he is a brilliant scientist with an extensive budget, the Japanese equivalent of mixing Alfred and Bruce Wayne together. No where in this film is any of this explain. I suppose the audience is to assume that an explanation or a background story to Prince's genius and development of the laser proof costume and spaceship would only drag this film out.Direction is very poor; dubbing very poor, English translation of script is flat and typical for this type of movie. All in all, the film is fun just for the fact that it is poorly made.

DJEDI296-1 I saw this on Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I've never laughed so hard in my life, and that's no exaggeration. This is 110% cheese, at it's very best. The overdubbing of English voices is hilarious. Everything about this movie is ridiculous, from the cheesy makeup, to the cheesy laughs, to the same lines used over....and over....and over. And I thought my eardrums were going to bleed after hearing that horrible 'spaceship' sound effect used nearly 1000 times throughout the film. This movie is so bad, it's hilarious. I was able to catch this on MST3K, and they do a wonderful job of just ripping it a new one. The children in this movie are so...so robotic. Horribly amusing. Or maybe just amusingly horrible. You be the judge.Give it a watch.
