Galaxy

Thoroughly enjoyable. Relax and don't take it too seriously. Funny stuff. Fun to watch. Sorry, your review is too short. It needs to contain at least 150 characters.

The basic idea of the film isn't that bad, after all, not every film has to be a cinematic masterpiece with a completely new plot. Especially starting with time in space is a nice idea. But everything that plays on earth has failed. Nothing about the plot seems remotely believable (even given the experience of the coronavirus pandemic and how many people have dealt with the apparent disaster, this film remains incredible). The plot is simple, naive, without any finesse. The characters are stereotypical, without any inner development. Even for the mid-1980s, the tricks are pathetic and the mask is a horror. Anyone who came up with the idea of no longer using surnames a few years after the catastrophe, of calling a middle-aged man only "Old Man" and inventing a name like "Prof. Isaac Hoffenstein" really has no ideas of their own, only copied from the cliché book for end-time movies.

This movie combines Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Mad Max and Ray Harryhausen stop motion monsters. There's even a Sylvester Stallone look-a-like and a girl from Virginia with an Australian accent. While that all sounds very unoriginal, it worked out better than you would think. It's not as good as any of the movies it steals from but it's worth watching.

Currently floating around as "Battle for the Planet" on Freeview streamer Tubi this is a Z-grade gem. Horrible effects, possibly the worst creature to ever grace a non-creature feature, schlock and enough double entendres to sink a battleship. And those are the highlights.

But it's fun, doesn't take itself seriously and there's enough mid-80s hair and fashion that you just can't put it out of its misery by turning it off. Grab a beer, some mates and some weed, and enjoy. This is a film from the world before social media, review aggregators and decent CGI.

Just laugh at it - it's all the movie wants from you.

Take out the horrible cgi, i mean disgustingly bad. They should never have even added that one creature, all that did was make me go, wow this is horrible 20 times. it holds onto the girl for 10 minutes , pulls her away from the torch when shes stretching to get it but guess who still managed top grab the torch even though she was suppose to be farther from than before....

The ship and tech these aliens have makes me think, mankind can go raid a planet with what we have now, the inside of the ship with the lever to steer or shoot looks like a freaking OLD ship. Only thing more advance was those crappy laser that buddy couldn't hit anything with 2 feet away.

Fight scenes weren't the worst, what i expected from it. very coincidental how everything plays out so well, riding a ship back to earth yet not being detected by these aliens. we have tech to see if anythings in our airspace so why couldn't the aliens? when he landed it was next to the few survivors left... luckily.

Crumby acting or just how the aliens acted in general, their fight scenes sucked. they look like there wearing masks. everything felt so scripted or convenient, too predictable.

That being said, wasn't a bad movie. probably a 5 if it wasn't for the pointless monster scene, all that did was make me hate it and the whole alien concept, don't make something you cant make look at least half decent, come on...

so just make this into a normal movie basically, based on end of the world and meeting people like Kelly mad dog and their adventures with harry would definitely have been better.
