I have to admit, this movie is not that great. If your looking for a entertaining film, minus a meaningful plot, this is it. However, if your willing to just be entertained or to find the good in the bad, watch this! I laughed out loud, and certainly didn't expect to.
The story, plot, the whole idea of this film is absurd to say the least. The campy dialogue, the sets and some painted vistas/backgrounds are wonderful. I cant help but laugh at this film, what with its stellar cast! Robert Urich! His best work since, well, since Spencer for Hire. Is this his only work other than that bad 80s series? LOL.
I love the scene at the beginning when Robert Urich and crew (which includes a very young Ron Perlman and also a younger Angelica Huston!) first board the ship and we see a !!maid? in typical maid outfit shouting they shouldn't be aboard the ship! What the hell? Why a maid, and in a traditional maids outfit?!! Why is a maid on a ship traveling through space?
The wardrobe/costume designer did one helluva job outfitting the characters with, dare I say, AWESOME outfits!! The maid, the guards who are wearing chain-mail, the princess in her dry ice vapored sleeping tube.. I cant praise the cheesy-ness of this movie enough. Its fun enough for a single viewing, and good enough to watch it with a friend who may have never seen it. Why am i leaving this review? I guess I want people to watch it since I enjoyed it so much.
Just know, ships in space still need to be cleaned, so always include maids in the crew. Also, robots are necessary, especially ones which convey emotions: fear in particular. Oh, and they are really easy to reprogram just by touching something or turning a knob located on the back of their necks. WTF? Hehehe ...
