TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
burnadrenaline This is one of the most unapologetic "Star Wars"/"Battlestar Galactica" rip-offs I have ever seen. This is a bad movie, and no doubt a rip-off but it's not entirely unenjoyable to watch. For one thing, the things that the heroes and villains do, without getting caught on the SAME ship, are mind-boggling. For two, there are car-chase scenes in this movie with the dumbest looking car-type vehicles I have ever seen. Some of the lines are so bad that they're quotable. This is an awful movie, but it's near-perfect viewing for people who love bad movies if that makes sense. Due to the success of "Star Wars" I have a feeling there are probably many movies like this on the bottom 100 but this one doesn't even try to hide it.
MartianOctocretr5 This is a brilliant rendering of the proverbial tale of Good vs. Evil. A mutinous scientist plots to overthrow the captain of a large interstellar vessel that suspiciously resembles the original Battlestar Galactica. It boasts a variety of colorful characters, a captivating plot line, heart pounding action, and state of the art special effects.One of the best MST3K episodes. The 'bots had a field day with this, one of many lost anti-classics they resurrected from obscurity to goofy cult status. It's one of the most fun to watch and laugh at, though, in its naive over-wrought sense of wild adventure. Actors really seem to be approaching their roles with childlike enthusiasm, and the overall feel of the thing has children's adventure TV show stamped all over it.There's a macho lead who takes more steroids than Barry Bonds. The captain looks like he should be at the mall asking kids what they want for Christmas, fake beard and all. Cult female priests do exotic disco/belly dances, and worship lava lamps with dancing electricity bolts. A group of acrobats perform repeated gymnastic jumps off of catwalks when they get zapped by ray guns (about 100 times over). One particular character gets killed, and appears later alive and well. But this film's ultimate moment of glory is the heart-stopping and masterfully shot golf-cart battle sequence. The outcome of this duel is something that has to be seen to be believed.Profound and uniquely visionary. A must-see.
uuill Mutiny-zamboni bumper cars, fire, plasma orbs, space discos, and fire.Lots-o-stolen-footage from Battlestar '78, some more fire. Toilet paper roll bazookas that kill the enemy two-by-two, and some fire./Not/ Lorne Greene. Babes in Brazilian cuts on the bridge, and fire. Ships that run on 5.25" floppies and sleeveless flared shiny jackets.Space dentistry. Hula hoops, and let's not forget the fire.Telepathic performance artists, and a /really/ cool dude who freezes folks and drinks tea.What more could one desire, but maybe more fire.Absolutely awesome!
oscar-35 This was NOT one of those "B for Bad" FUN films to watch. This is a bad bad bad film. It looks like it was made for about a $2000. The cast is made up of out-of-work lead actors, jocks, and lead actor family members. The film was produced by Cameron Mitchell's wife (the show lead) and his blond daughter plays the sex kitten role in this LLLLOOOOoooonnnnggggg film. John Phillip 'Barbarella' Law badly plays the one baddie in the film. The film jacket says, "Breathtaking special effects from the team that brought you Star Wars." ILM....Really ??!!!? It doesn't look like it. It only looks like Universal TV's Battlestar Galactica. A veritable 'Who's That' of acting? Also, film jacket says, "The enormous 'Southern Star' spacecraft faces destruction from within from the evil Kalagan and his men take control through a violent and explosive mutiny. Kalagan's plan: scrap the ship and sell the passengers into slavery. Only one man (Reb Brown) has the strength and courage to lead the fight against the mutineers. Armed with laser cannons and neutron grenades, he leads the Commander's daughter and a handful of soldiers into a blasting battle against Kalagan and his brutal forces." Man, you people are actors - act like you have two brain cells to rub together.
