If you take it seriously, it is disgustingly bad. Quite a few folks walked out after 5-10 minutes of melodramatic boredom. Even stars like Christopher Plummer couldn't keep them in their seats. However if you have been prepared to treat the movie as a comedy, look forward to memorable merriment! We were soon laughing our heads off at images of a clutching claw-shaped spacecraft and of torpedoes crashing through spaceship windows to open and deliver barefaced boarding parties. Some lines had us literally falling out of our seats and figuratively rolling in the aisles: "At night the temperature drops THOUSANDS of degrees" "Imperial Battleship! Stop the Passage of Time!" See "Star Crash" if you ever get a chance, and make sure that you treat it as a comedy. Memories of it can still raise a laugh! -Gary
