Reviews

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
dwpollar 1st watched 5/1/2010 – 2 out of 10 (Dir-Al Bradly): Very bad battle against an alien race movie that takes bits&pieces from the Star Wars epic and changes them slightly but otherwise is just a badly made movie for any genre. The movie appears to be an Italian-made film and the version I watched was dubbed. The story involves the earthlings first encounter with an alien race which turns out violent as they destroy our first ship that comes into contact with it, then bombs targets on the ground, and starts taking away different races of people for their own slave trade business. This group ends up being one of many planets in an interstellar planetary system and they won an auction for our planet. The spaceship is made up of an impenetrable substance called indiron and a group of scientists and other folk are assembled to figure out how to defeat the ship. This quest is the main plot of the movie until they find the answer and then the ensuing fight against them occurs. This is a poorly acted, poorly made movie with very poor special effects and it's only redeeming part is the unique storyline. There is also a bickering man and woman robot pair that's supposed to provide comic relief but doesn't. The movie is pretty much a waste of the little amount of money it was made with. I guess they were trying to cash in on the Star Wars craze(I hope they made some money for themselves but I won't contribute to their profits and you shouldn't either).
yomamasmilkman Other than the fact that the copy I watched was apparently edited and spliced by a room full of baboons with kindergarten scissors and Scotch tape, this is undoubtedly the worst tripe ever committed to celluloid. (And yes, I've seen "Plan 9") 1. Alien androids in blonde "Monkees" wigs (Hmmm, "Monkees wigs"! Perhaps that has something to do with the roomful of baboons that edited the film?) 2. Alien Overlord with a face like Hellraiser (without the pins and needles) 3. SuperSmart earthling to "save the day" although he, of course, is on the outs with any and all powers-that-be. 4. Special effects from stock footage from WWII and possibly some earthquake footage (mostly in B/W) 5. Two lovesick, depressed, suicidal, paranoid 'droids' (And yes, I know there was 'Marvin, the Paranoid Android' in "Hitchhikers Guide", but that was a comedy....this isn't) 6. Same 'Glowing eyes' from earthling (opens safe by looking at it), alien overlord (renders competing bidder lifeless) and some guy that's supposed to have psychic abilities (capable of anything from seeing thru playing cards to 'total mind control followed by amnesia'). 7. An entire Earth that is completely apathetic to the fact they're about be all become slaves to an alien overlord. 8. Over acting 9. NO acting 10. To borrow a line from 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'... "Script? You mean there's a SCRIPT?" (There are way more than 10, but you get the idea.) *** OK!!! SAVING GRACE!!! The best name for a chemical/material ever in any sci-fi movie. "INTHEORYUM" (In Theory....um)
wes-connors "A race of aliens is en route to Earth with the intent of enslaving the human race. The world turns to a top scientist in the hopes that he, and the team he pits together, can come up with a plan to drive off the extraterrestrial invaders. Is there enough time for our hero and his companions to prepare for a fight the will decide the fate of the entire planet?" asks the DVD sleeve's synopsis.Man's first contact with an alien race turns sour when they want to take over the planet, and make us futuristic slaves. "Star Odyssey" (in English) is a another cheap attempt to cash-in on the "Star Wars" success; although it doesn't really steal much story, and attempts some of its own cheesy style. The title and advertising graphics must have lured fewer victims this time around, as there was no follow-up.Gianni Garko (as Dirk) and Yanti Somer (as Irene) manage to keep straight hero and heroine faces. This had to be difficult with lovesick robots "Tilt" and "Tilly" wandering around. The promise to alter their parts, so the mechanical couple would be able to consummate their relationship, is never shown on screen. Alas, it might have made the movie more than a complete waste of resources. * Sette uomini d'oro nello spazio (10/26/79) Alfonso Brescia ~ Gianni Garko, Yanti Somer, Malisa Longo
Dan-248 Out of boredom, my friends and I decided to have ourselves a "worst movie marathon". Among the titles we rented were "la guerre de l'espace en l'an 3000", "La soupe au chou", " Como rubare la corena de Ingleterra" and "Space Oddysey (english title of this movie)". Although all the movies were disgusting and hard to watch, this one had to be the worst...Here are a few things that stood out...A male and a female robot ( she has metal eyelashes) in love!A woman scientist working in a tight leather "swim suit"A gymnast fighter ( we dubbed him "mr exercise" ) who jumps around during the movieA hero who walks around like he is constipatedAn army of evil "droids" with blond wigs and silver suitsThe characters are not developed, ( some seem to come out of thin air) and the villain is laughable.The thing that got me the most, though, is the fact that this movie has no end, literally; Music covers the dialog in the last scene, were everything unfolds.Really, this is something you should try to find at your local videostore.-1,5 * :)
