About
If you enjoy scrappy 1980s sci-fi with a pulpy, post-apocalyptic feel somewhere between Krull and Battle Beyond the Stars, this can be a fun ride; Not for you if you want polished storytelling or a serious tone.
Pros: fast-moving adventure; campy sci-fi charm; imaginative creatures and vehicles | Cons: thin story; uneven acting; very cheesy tone
