I kind of liked it?

"HEY! That's not what space looks like!" - Was my reaction to the first few minutes of this film. As another reviewer pointed out, the 60's style Godzilla micro-sets in this movie were pretty garish. They kind of grew on me, though. Maybe in some alternate universe, space really is multi-colored Christmas lights protruding through black cardboard.The weird space renderings, the bizarre use of moving cloud stock footage and planet earth poster, stop motion animation, and really overdoing it with toy spaceships lend it some unintentional psychedelic vibes.The dialogue is hilarious. "He has total brain damage, sir." Joe Spinell, of Maniac fame, is dubbed over I think.They duped John Barry into doing the sound score, so it's not bad.Battle Beyond the Stars, another Star Wars coattail-rider, was a color by numbers Seven Samurai rip-off. I found it kind of boring. This is a chaotic (idiotic?) amalgam of sci-fi past. Luigi Cozzi was on a mission here...one that he really just fails in style.Both a disaster and a delight.

Best worse movie ever

If you want to see how bad this is, spare yourself the whole thing and just watch the opening scene. Watching the horrible actors manage flub the timing of their three-word sentences is a sight to behold.Funny? Absolutely! Watching the bad guy order his troops into combat with the stirring words of "Kill!" while they slide down the bat poles will bring a smile to the face of anyone. And that soundtrack, wow!Forget the nonsensical plot, terrible special effects and poor acting, it's got Christopher Plumber and a bunch of excuses for Stella Star to get attacked by the worst stop-frame animated robots in history. What more could you ask for?
