What a wonderful mess of derivation.

If you like so bad it's good sci-fi then look no further, this has everything. Quasi futuristic 70's fashion, clunky over-acting robots, wobbly space ships, cardboard sets, talking computers that run on reel to reel tapes, bland corridors to run down from multiple camera angles and disco synthesiser tunes so loud that they drown out the dialogue.

The story is paper thin, multiple times some poorly constructed plot point or threat gets hand waved away for the sakes of moving things along, there are long scenes of effects beyond reason or explanation, and apparently hairspray is everywhere in this universe.

Still, if this had come on TV when I was a child, I would have loved it.

Marvellously terrible.
