THere have been some very good Italian space operas, but this ain't one of em. In this opus we have an alien race that is facing extinction and so they decide to kidnap two famouse genetic scientitst and bring them back to their planet.
Well Earth cannot have this so tyey send Capt. John Boyd (Antonio Sabato) and his crew into action to get them back. The aliens are silver skinned men who wear bad blonde wigs, and it's a hoot watching these aliens run around. It looks like a 60's comedy skit on Ed Sullivan!
Before they get rescued the scientists who have been captured join the aliens, and that kid of struck me as a good little twist, but it is the ONLY good thing about the plot.
There are a few good things about this film and they are Yanti Somer, despite her bad haircut and the luscious Malisa Longo. These are the only good things about this film. I mean there are other attractive women on the spaceship as well, but those two really stand out, if you know what I mean.
The film plods along for almost 99 minutes, when it really should have been about 80 minutes. I have noticed that a lot of these Italian sci-fi gems from the 70's run about 20 to 30 minutes too long, and that is something I just cannot figure out.
If you want to lose 98 minutes of your life you might want to check this out, otherwise stay clear.
