This film had all the eliments that should of made it a really bad terrible B movie but oddly i found myself drawn in and unable to switch off,a must see for any sci-fi fan, you will laugh at this david Hasslehoff debut and appreciate it-not being able to put your finger on why.
An awful flim - with the only saving grace of Caroline Munro and a great score by John Barry - i mean it - Listen to it away from the Film
Im not sure why they went with a childlike script and special effects ( this was released in 1979 - if they couldnt afford Star Wars type effects then Space 1999 would have done ) Maybe they were going for Barberella or flash Gordon aesthetic or Worse - but it backfired .
Theres an early apppearance of David Hasslehoff as a slab of meat and Chrisoper Plummer is there too - showing off to the world he can keep a straight face and get paid for delivering his lines with grav-itas .
I had to fast forward through chunks of the film but its Caroline Munro in her prime - she needed a better vehicle than this - and listen to the John Barry score on its own .
