Alicia I love this movie so much
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
altair42002 I have no idea what the writer and director were thinking with this piece of drek but it could'nt be storytelling. The story (what there is of it) is a shallow mess, the effects could have been done by a 5th grade class, and the acting is incredibly wooden. If Ed Wood had still been alive when this was made this would have easily made 2nd place to plan 9 from outer space as the worst movie ever made. If you enjoy the type of movies shown by mystery science theatre 3000, then this is for you. I found myself frequently yelling "HYKEBA" during the sword fight scenes and making other comments throughout. the effects rival anything by Ed Wood and might even be worse because they try to use (primitive) computer graphics. I would rather watch Ed's flying hubcaps then the crappy Nintendo graphics used here.
fantasmic1971 Have plenty of crackers ready for all this cheese. This movie is for the person who loves those late-night public access horror hosted shows. In fact, it's a safe bet that's the only way you'll ever see this movie. It's that bad. But that's what makes it so great! Hokey dialog, corny special effects and cardboard sets, along with some of the dingiest background music (and theme song) you're likely to ever hear. Add that to the cartoon-sounding sound effects and you've got a worse-than-Starcrash movie that'll satisfy any B-movie fan! UPDATE: This movie, believe it or not, has been released on DVD. The copy is as bad as the movie, but if you can find it in the dollar bin, there you go!
Steve Nyland (Squonkamatic) There are many movies that are "so bad they are good", and then some that are so bad you just have to kind of marvel at them. This movie is hypnotic, and suggests a vision of some sort that is compelling enough to recommend it to anyone with a taste for cult Italian cinema. STAR ODYSSEY is sort of like the final half hour of YOR but without a story -- Images of a futuristic world literally using junk at one point to create a different time and place.Just where that time and place is I haven't a clue. But it has some impressive parts: The film "stars" cult legend Gianni Garko, best known for his SARTANA Spaghetti Western, features music by Marcello Giomboni (including passages recycled from his MURDER MANSION score), has the great Italian character actor Silvano Tranquilli in a supporting role, and one of the central characters is a blonde bimbo in a leather fetish 1 piece with thigh high vinyl boots. "Far out."It is compulsively watchable though: You can find it on those 2 DVD bargain bin box sets at the Mall ("Deadly Dimensions" is the release I have) and for $9 or so you've got yourself a film that attests for the best of humanity at it's worst, putting their everything into a project so devoid of apparent substance that in the end, the parts add up to more than the sum of their whole. Which means this is one of those films best watched when you can let it waft in and out of awareness as the better and lesser interesting moments follow each other in a regressive chain that, ultimately, lead up to nothing.Think STAR WARS by David Lynch but on the budget of your average Discover Platinum card with production design by French artist Jean Tinguely, who made fame by building robotic sculptures that destroyed themselves during live performances. The women are all exceedingly gorgeous, Gianni Garko gets to do back flips & beat people at poker, and there is one guy who runs around with a big letter J on the back of his blue plastic jacket. It is just that kind of movie.
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 * :)
