mark.waltz Only the most determined and devoted of science fiction fans will make it all the way through this without reaching for an extra strength Tylenol. You might also get a headache by the red and tan outfits that the astronauts wear in this, with caps to match. The leaders of the mission look like they raided Aquaman's closet and headed to the other direction to avoid discovery. It's in the hands of hot tempered captain John Richardson to figure out what's causing some sort of interference all over earth, and that supposedly has something to do with huge meteor showers flying through space. Tedious from start to finish, this lays there like one of Mars' moons, simply spouting off scientific sounding terms to sound intelligent. What it ends up as is pretentious and phony, really offering no surprises and making absolutely no sense. Unless this was released with the financial assistance of a pain reliever firm, it makes no sense as to how this escaped a movie studio editing booth.

talisencrw This was a very bizarre and poorly-made film, which I can't believe was made after manned space travel, as well as masterpieces such as '2001: A Space Odyssey' and 'Star Wars' really served to up the ante when it comes to these types of film. The dialogue and special effects are terrible, but for the most part it was a fun watch, and I gave bonus marks because of the intriguing 'cosmic love' idea. However, even no-budget filmmakers need to realize that even if they can't afford much in various areas, decent ideas are still free. Just ask people like Edgar G. Ulmer and George Lucas (at least in the early, 'THX 1138', stage of his career).

Cristi_Ciopron BATTLES IN THE STELAR SPACE, a wonderfully scored space opera, has at least a bit of gusto and some sense of fun, though the action seems predictably disjointed and unsure, as if improvised, and it boasts a big—breasted Asian girl; yet much of the clumsiness involved is mindless, needless and graceless—like when the explores leave the ship without their spacesuits, assured that the planet's atmosphere is like the Earth's, etc., the crew seems a bit slow—minded, given the scale of the mission, a bit slow to figure out things, they react slowly and tentatively, while very busy with stating the obvious, and they behave crazily, but that's not necessarily uncommon in this kind of movies. The astronauts land on a planet, a bunch of them carelessly leave the spaceship and begin to act more or less randomly, each according to his cues or whims. Such childishness is less than fun. A Sci—Fi script might nonetheless rise at least a bit above a retard's level. The Italians had an awesome sense of playfulness which managed not to become self—indulgent. An average Sci—Fi movie from the Golden Age of the Italian genre cinema, a time of able rip—offs and free plagiarism, is more enjoyable, thrilling, colorful, exciting and mind—blowing, and also more comic book—like, than any S. TREK episode; but of course the Italians didn't rip off S. TREK, choosing instead worthier American outings.

Morpheus I am not a fan of the idea that a movie can suck so much and be so terrible that it can, or should, be perceived in any way that which is positive but, at least in description this movie is an exception, fore this movie is so STUPID that it is "a movie almost awesome in its badness", to borrow a phrase! They actually sift music from other films, horror movies & documentaries mostly, & remade it with something that sounds like a 1950s synthesizer...to add to the soundtrack, which is probably the best thing about the film ironically...The ending is actually far more climactic than I would even have imagined giving them credit for & is probably the 2nd best thing about the film, and I even concede that the women do look good in their figure-hugging outfits, but (...it's not like they get naked!), nothing is redeemed & there is & shall forever never be no forgiveness for this excruciatingly lame-ass sh!t-pile!!
