Viewing Notes

Admittedly this is not a good movie. It cribs from all the other popular sci-fi of that time like a poor man’s mash-up of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica. But I really adore these Italo-space adventures. So campy yet so earnest. Never a wink at the camera. I’m not even sure what the central plot is since humans betray humans then a space battle occurs. Weird flick but entertaining for me.
