About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lighter, adventure-forward ’70s space saga with big battles and a clear survival quest, similar in spirit to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century or Star Trek: The Motion Picture; Not for you if you need a modern, serious tone.
Pros: exciting space battles; memorable sci-fi world; impressive for its era | Cons: dated dialogue; uneven middle stretch; reused effects shots
