A quick and dirty movie review by Dennis D. McDonald

Plot summary:

• This is the “intergalactic pod race” story you get from people who don’t read enough good science fiction.

What’s Good:

• Color

• Space Effects

• Vehicle Design

• Sound

What’s Bad:

• Plot (derivative)

• Dialog (derivative)

• Music (hackneyed)

• Alien Design (“Star Wars” vintage)

• Animation (late 20th century graphics)

• Characters (stereotypes, especially the pneumatic female figures)

Recommendation:

• Mildly entertaining. Don’t expect a lot.
